- Get the kids involved! Boo Cups are simple treats to make with your kids. Or, kids will love helping you decorate our fabulous Ghosts in the Graveyard dessert.
- Apple Monster Mouths make a festive after-school snack that kids are sure to love.
- Consider our appetizer math when you're planning your Halloween party. And don't forget to mix a few sweet bites along with the savory treats.
- Need even more ideas? Our Halloween hub, Halloween Cupcake page, and party menus for kids and adults are guaranteed to get you on the right track.
Halloween Treats to Give
- Check your school's policy on snacks. Some don't allow homemade foods at all, and others ban foods containing common allergens, such as peanuts.
- Wrap our Creepy Eyes Crispy Balls in clear cellophane bags for a fun party take-home treat or lunchbox surprise.
- Fun packaging can transform a food gift from good to great. Look at craft stores for Halloween-themed cellophane bags, treat boxes and ribbon.
- Save those special homemade treats for people you know—most non-commercially packaged items will be thrown away by concerned parents if handed out to trick-or-treaters.
- Use candy-coated sunflower seeds to decorate Chocolate Haystacks to resemble little monsters. Made with BAKER'S Chocolate, JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows and peanuts, they're frightfully good!
