I think we can all agree that candy is pretty great, and Halloween gives us the perfect excuse to eat way too much candy. Usually, I like to pop open a bag of variety candy that I bought on sale the day after Halloween. However, I’m feeling fancy this year. And if you are too, I’ve got some quick and easy recipes for Halloween candy that’s just as good.
1. Halloween Dirt Cups
We’ve all had these as kids, and years later I still think it’s a pretty tasty dessert. You can also get really creative with these by adding some Milano cookies as tombstones, placing some eyeball gummy candies in there, etc.
To make these, simply fill a glass cup with chocolate pudding (because we’re being fancy and not just using the plastic cup it came in). Although I’m not judging if you do ;). Then, crush some Oreos in a plastic bag and place the Oreos on top of the pudding. Top with your desired cookies and/or candy.
2. Halloween Marshmallow Pops
These look like cake pops, but they’re way easier to make and are still a great sweet treat. All you need is some marshmallows, pretzel sticks, frosting, and sprinkles. Basically, you dip a marshmallow in frosting, coat with sprinkles, and then stick a pretzel on the end of it. You can find the recipe here.
3. Marshmallow Popcorn Balls
This is another great marshmallow treat, similar to Rice Krispies, but with popcorn instead. The process to make them is also similar to that of Rice Krispies, so it’s another easy to make treat. You can also add other ingredients like chocolate chips to take it to the next level. Recipe found here.
Instead of sitting at home eating Reese’s from the bag, why not make it a fun night with one of these Halloween treats? All of the above recipes are quick and easy to make too! Plus, your family or roommates will be impressed because they look a lot fancier than they actually are.
