14. Charcuterie Cauldrons
For adult Halloween parties, guests will love these charcuterie cauldrons. You’ll need mini cauldrons, charcuterie essentials, Halloween skewers and edible bloody eyeballs (pop them into raspberries and olives). You can assemble your cauldrons however you want using your charcuterie items as inspiration for your arrangement.
15. Halloween Monster Munch
Here’s a play on the Halloween popcorn recipes you see everywhere. Instead of popcorn, you’ll use Corn Chex, peanuts, M&Ms and candy corn. Melt some white chocolate, mix and enjoy. You can even add food coloring to the chocolate to make it even spookier. Purple and green are perfect choices for Halloween.
16. Halloween Pretzel Eyeballs
These pretzel eyeballs are so fun and easy to make. You’ll need some waffle pretzels, M&Ms, Hershey Hugs, red sanding sugar and black decorating gels. These little bites bake in the oven for just 5 minutes to melt the chocolate.
17. Halloween Oreo Bark
Is it a tree or candy? It’s candy that you can make one of two ways:
- White almond bark and chocolate
- Oreo cookies and white candy melts
But the author’s favorite option is the almond bark, which gives these candies a delectable taste. You’ll start by creating a layer of white almond bark and chocolate at the bottom of the pan and then adding a layer of cookies. Once the cookie layer is complete, you’ll finish off the top with the white almond bark mixture.
Add in some sprinkles after smoothing out the layer to complete the look.

Popcorn balls make the list of easy Halloween treats, and they’re a lot of fun to make. You’ll need heaps of popped popcorn, mini marshmallows, butter and gel food coloring. The recipe calls for purple food coloring, but feel free to add any color you prefer.

Cookie bars are what cookie lovers have always wanted – large chunks of gooey cookies to munch on. Add in some M&Ms and candied eyes, and you instantly transform these bars into spooky, monster-like treats.

20. Halloween Chocolate Chip Cookies
You’ll spend almost two-and-a-half hours baking these cookies, but they’re 100% worth the wait. A mixer makes this recipe much easier and one of those silicone baking mats, if you have one handy.
While the recipe is a traditional chocolate chip cookie one, you’ll add in Halloween sprinkles and candy eyes to add a bit of spookiness to the cookies.
21. Halloween Crack
“Candy crack,” is a good way to describe these treats. And the ingredient that I wasn’t expecting was saltine crackers. You’ll add the crackers, butter, brown sugar and chocolate chips together.

Spooky ghost brownies are sure to bring a scare this Halloween, but they’re so cute and made from marshmallows and white melting wafers. You don’t even need to make the brownie mix from scratch because the recipe’s author uses brownie mix.
All you’ll need is a 9×9 baking pan and some parchment paper.
24. Peanut Butter Spider Cookies
Looking for easy Halloween treats that look professional? These cookies check off each box. The hardest part is choosing how you want the spider to look. You’ll make the cookies from scratch, and Reese’s minis will be the body of the spider.

If you have 30 – 40 minutes, these cookies taste great, and they’ll be a major hit when you serve them on Halloween.
