With Halloween coming up shortly, we’ve pulled together a few quick and easy recipes for you that are sure to impress at any haunted gathering or party you may be hosting. Hidden amongst the usual treats we’ve also included a few healthier options for those looking to make a spooky snack that’s not so sugary:
Scary Spider Cookies:
These easy to bake chocolate chip cookies are quick to assemble but visually impressive. For the lazier baker among you, use store-bought cookies for an even simpler party treat.

Tombstone Taco Dip:
Add a taunting twist to your usual guac dip by incorporating an easy-to-do graveyard theme. This one’s pretty foolproof, but allow up to 6 hours to chill before serving.

Caramel Apples with Toffee Pretzel Crunch:
What would Halloween be without some toffee apples? This perfect topping combo adds a chew and a crunch to your usual Granny Smiths. Plus, it’s technically just one of your five a day disguised in something sweeter, so it’s totally-almost-not-really healthy.

Blood Clot and Brain Cupcakes:
The goriest recipe you’ll see today actually just combines strawberry jam with regular cupcakes, topped with some fancy piping that anyone can handle.
Monster Apple Mouths:
If you’re looking to produce a healthier Halloween spread then look no further! Quarter some apples, slather with peanut butter and slip in some peanuts for a quick, nutritious snack guaranteed to please.

Boo-Nana Pops:
These devilishly simple ice pops only need 3 ingredients – halved and frozen bananas, melted white chocolate and some extra chocolate chips for decoration! You can’t go wrong with this one.

Surprise Batty Loaf Cake:
For the more daring of bakers, this chocolate loaf recipe features a batty surprise in the middle. Whilst the instructions call for a specific cutter to use to create the design, we feel that any resourceful student could make their own. Even if it goes horribly one, it will still taste great!
