Incorporate your Halloween candy into the dessert or make a spooky surprise. Ghosts, black cats, skulls, this festive list of irresistible Halloween treats has it all.
Here are 10 of our favorite desserts.

This Halloween treat will surely spook friends and family.
If you want to make a treat that’s a little lower maintenance, these spooky strawberries are just for you.
All you need is a white chocolate or vanilla coating, chocolate chips, and fresh strawberries!
Simply dip the strawberries fully into the white coating, let them dry for about 30 minutes, and then apply the chocolate chips as eyes and the mouth!
Who knew you could bring life to Nutter Butter cookies? These Halloween treats are a quick and easy recipe that anyone can make!
Simply melt some chocolate (use black candy melts to make a spooky black cat), submerge your cookies, let them dry on some wax paper, and decorate away!
These creative cookies are made by rolling the dough over itself and then slicing the roll into equal pieces to make cookies.
To really evoke the Halloween spirit, the most important part of decorating is the sugar. This cook used orange and purple; what combination suits you the best?

These pumpkins are pretty cute, don’t you think? They’re not a lot of work to make either.
These Halloween Rice Krispie treats are made with peanut butter, but you can also go without the peanut butter – whatever you prefer!
A marshmallow by itself is pretty boring, but why not add some color? Orange and yellow perhaps?
If you’re hesitating because candy corn is not your favorite, don’t worry. Believe it or not, this won’t taste like candy corn. The orange and yellow are in fact colored chocolate candy melts.
Simply dip the marshmallows into the melted chocolate, let it cool, and then repeat!
If you’re not a fan of the candy corn look, you can dip your marshmallow in melted milk chocolate and add sprinkles for a more traditional look.
The black plastic lollipop sticks are a nice touch, too!
Caramel apples are delicious, but how can you make them scream Halloween? Black food coloring, of course! You can make your own ‘black caramel’ coating with corn syrup and sugar. Just add the food coloring, and you’re set to spook your guests!
These are quite the Halloween treat, aren’t they? This recipe is one of our more deluxe Halloween desserts, for the more ambitious cooks out there. But if you put the time in, you won’t regret the result!
With a chocolate base, orange cream cheese middle, and chocolate chip and Oreo toppings, you’ll get a little bit of everything with this delicious Halloween recipe.

What did you think of these 10 Halloween treats? I can’t wait to get into the kitchen and try these out. With the exception of the cake pop eyeballs and loaded brownies, these recipes are incredibly easy to whip up in under 30 minutes. The brownies and cake pops are not difficult, but they’ll likely take a little more experience and artistry to nail. So, if you like the challenge, try those out!
But with these more straightforward Halloween desserts, you can even grab the kids and make a nice morning or afternoon project out of it. I recommend the candy corn marshmallows or strawberries. They’re so easy just 1) dip and 2) decorate!
Once they’re done, they can eat what they’ve made as a reward! And you’ll cap off the night with trick-or-treating. Just don’t let them eat too much candy!
Hopefully, you now see that Halloween desserts do not have to be limited to Butterfinger, Twix, Skittles, and the like. There are plenty of creative ways to tackle Halloween desserts.
Thanks for stopping by the Proline blog! We’ll see you next time!
