This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clemson chapter.

Halloween is just around the corner and that means costume parties, candy and Freeform’s 13 Nights of Halloween. When you aren’t busy carving pumpkins and picking out your costume, get in the spirit by baking some spooktacular treats. Here are some ideas to get you started:

 

1. Butterbeer Rice Krispy Treats

I found this recipe on Cupcake Diaries and what says Halloween like Harry Potter-themed food?
