- MAKE AHEAD. Most desserts can be made early, even up to a few days early which makes things easier for party planning.
Dessert Tips
Turn ANY treat into fun and festive Halloween desserts with these easy tricks!
- Colors: black, brown, orange, purple, and bright green and pink are all great Halloween choices.
- Embellishments: add Halloween sprinkles or candies (for added fun and flavor). Halloween toppers, like plastic spiders, are also great additions. Top any treat with candy eyeballs, or your favorite Halloween candy, for an instant transformation.
- Serving trays: use spooky and fun Halloween-themed serving trays to enhance the overall feel. Decorate with Jack-o-lanterns, ghouls, goblins, or spooky skeletons for pops of Halloween fun!
- How much to serve. No matter how many options are available, plan for guests to have 2 total servings of dessert.
- Make ahead of time. Most of these treats can be made at least a day ahead of time, while others can be made even further in advance. See the individual posts for storage info.
