Could it really be that time of year again??!

Proceeds to sniff the crisp air while sipping on my pumpkin spice coffee…

Oh yes, we have definitely hit the most beautiful season of the year. Fall; and with Fall comes everyone’s favorite holiday! Are we excited yet? Halloween is my Christmas. I am one of those people who keep the decorations out all year long and go completely apeshit in the spirit of the season. When it comes to good eats, that is no exception.

 

Not only am I an overly obsessive Halloween fanatic, I’m also a mother to two humans. That means Halloween parties galore both young and old during the October month. Whether it be at school, home or a friend’s place- Halloween foodies are an essential to any seasonal social gathering. However, whipping up something eye appealing can be a bit time consuming. Whether you’re a parent crunched on time, or simply cooking illiterate (both in my case) I’ve gathered up 10 frightfully fun and easy Halloween recipes that anyone can make into one delightful place for you to get some ideas on those future festive gatherings. Enjoy!

 

 

 

Witch Brooms

 

This is about as easy as it gets, and might I add brilliant! Simply take a Reese’s cup, a pretzel stick and wallah! Instant Halloween treats. The perfect blend of sweet and salty is sure to be a hit with young and old.

Boo-Nana Pops

 

Another insanely easy and fun idea is what is appropriately called the Boonana pop. Simply take half a banana and generously dip into melted white chocolate, add chocolate chips for eyes and finish off with a popsicle stick for holding.

Trick R Treat Pumpkin Cookies

 

Honestly, does anyone here NOT cherish the holiday gem of Trick R Treat? You can replicate Sam’s lollipop into a tasty cookie with a simple pumpkin cookie, homemade or store bought- depending on your time crunch; Orange and black frosting with a cake pop stick and done. I got this idea from a Vegan recipe website, so for those herbivores out there the link is below!

Bloody Shirley Temple

 

This one, you can twist around and get creative with. All you need is plastic syringes filled with Grenadine and some sprite. Or if you prefer Vodka like me, that works too.

Jolly Rancher Candy Apples

 

We can’t talk about Halloween treats without mentioning the glorious candy apple! Simply melt your favorite flavor of Jolly Ranchers in the oven at 250 degrees for 5 minutes and pour over a batch of fresh apples. Add some edible glitter for effect! Granny Smiths work best with this recipe.

Pumpkin Milkshake

We need pumpkin everything during the season and this 4 ingredient recipe is both delicious and easy. All that is needed is:

• 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
• 3 tsp of canned pumpkin
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Add all to a blender, top with whip cream and indulge. For us adults, a few shots of Rum is splendid with this concoction.

Count Chocula Clusters

 

Here we have what may be the Holy Grail of simple Halloween treats. Count Chocula Clusters! This can be used with any of the Halloween cereals, however I think this one tastes the best. All you need is some:

• 10 oz melted white chocolate
• 3/4 cup pretzel sticks
• 1 1/2 cups Count Chocula

Combine all these beauties in a bowl, slap it on a parchment-lined sheet pan and let dry for 2 hours and then thank me later.
