Halloween is not just about candy. Sure, when you go trick-or-treating you only get candy (or, in rare instances, tricks). But what about when you are at home? Do you really only dig into a bucket of chocolate and lollipops?
I personally enjoy actual treats and not just candy, though I still love candy. I'm a chocoholic, after all. Even if I do not actually bake anything or buy anything, I enjoy looking at cool pictures online. Who doesn't nowadays?
After surfing the Internet, I found some very creative and delicious-looking desserts you should give a try or at least consider, especially if you are having a get-together or party. They are below along with links to their recipes.
1. Mummy cocktail weenies.
These are cocktail wienies made to look like mummies just using the dough.
2. Pumpkin-shaped Rice Krispies.
No, these are not just dyed orange. The Krispy itself is rounded just like a pumpkin!
3. Pull-apart graveyard cupcakes.
The tops of the cupcakes are melded together to look like a graveyard, complete with graves and ghosts.
4. Mason jar cakes.
You can make them look like mummies, Frankenstein, pumpkins, whatever is ghoulish! The ones found in the link next to this show ones that look like pumpkin, Frankenstein, and a mummy. The jars themselves are decorated and the actual cakes are dyed, then you just use the right-colored frosting.
5. Last, but not least, the fall cookie cake.
It is basically a cookie pie covered in chocolate chips, spirals of white frosting, and candy corn. It is the ultimate sugar overload.
Of course I discovered a LOT more but the above are my personal top picks. Perhaps you should put your baking skills to the test. Even if you do not measure up to Cake Boss, it would be fun to try. It's a good way to get in the Halloween spirit.
