Treats the whole family can make together
Fall means family, friends, and lots of treats! Halloween treats Thanksgiving pies and Christmas cookies.
I can't decide which of those I love most so I like to combine family time with treat making.

Low-effort homemade treats for Halloween
Keep scrolling for more spooky sweets for Halloween your kids, and guests can get into!
The great thing about these desserts and snacks, is that they don't have to look perfect. In fact maybe a little mess keeps them scary, if you know what I mean!
I love that this collection has a mix of baked goods and semi-homemade treats. Pick your level of effort and choose a recipe. No matter what you'll enjoy a great cooking project.
