Published about 23 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Get ready for some fun with these easy and festive Halloween recipes! From sweet treats to creative easy snacks, they’re perfect for any Halloween celebration or just to make this month a bit fun with your family and friends.

Does it get any better than chocolate and peanut butter? I don't think so! Easier to make than you may think.

Use string cheese and olives to turn English Muffin Pizzas into Mummy Pizzas! So cute and fun!

Use melted chocolate to draw the components of a Jack-o-lantern face onto parchment paper. Let harden and then adorn a pumpkin cheesecake (or pumpkin pie!)

Follow my instructions for making marbled bark with white and dark chocolate and then top it with gummy spiders for a spooky, fun treat!

Layer pineapple, mandarin oranges and whipped cream (or yogurt) in clear parfait to resemble Candy Corn.

Using the slow cooker, nuts (and dried fruit of choice) this is such an easy way to make a decadent chocolate treat.

Make Apple Monsters by using apple wedges, candy eyes, sliced almonds, and strawberries.

Pipe sour cream onto warmed and seasoned black bean puree and then use a toothpick to create a web-like design.
