Halloween is such a fun theme – from the decorations to the desserts. With that in mind, I have listed some of our very favorite (and MOST POPULAR) Halloween treats.
From Halloween cakes topped with cookie tombstones to pumpkin spice dump cake, these recipes are fun and would make the perfect sweet treat to end your party.
These sweets will be a HUGE hit at any Halloween party and the best part is they’re super easy to make!
With candies, eyeballs, sprinkles, chocolate chips, Halloween-themed ingredients, and more – these treats are perfectly festive for your October gathering.
How Can I Turn a Regular Dessert Into a Halloween One?
Colors. Black, brown, orange, purple, bright green, and pink are all great Halloween choices.
Embellishments. Add Halloween sprinkles and festive 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 like gummy worms, for an instant transformation.
Serving trays. Use spooky and fun Halloween-themed serving trays to enhance the overall feel. Decorate the serving table with Jack-o-lanterns, ghouls, goblins, or spooky skeletons for pops of Halloween fun!
How Many Desserts Should I Prepare?
No matter how many options are available, plan for party 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.

This collection of Halloween dessert recipes is my go-to for all Halloween-themed treat ideas! My favorites are the Monster Cookies, the Strawberry Ghosts and the Witch Hat Cookies. All three of these recipes are so easy to make and they are a hit when I bring them to our neighborhood Halloween night block party. The kids love them!
Made the graveyard dirt cake for a block party. I I divided it into individual cups and put a cookie headstone in each cup. Also, I added R.I.P. to each cookie to make it a little more clear as to what they were. I didn’t have any leftover.
so many great ideas! I’ve been wanting to take a halloween treat to the girls I VT. so many great options to choose from here. I think maybe i’ll go with the scary cat brownies or your candy corn m&m cookies or the candy corn rice krispy treats! thanks for sharing! and so fun to get to talk to you last night at the ward party!
