Spooky homemade Halloween treats, so easy your kids can make them. Cute and tasty, these creepy food recipes are just the thing to celebrate this fun holiday.

It's fall! That means holiday-season is officially here.

Fall means family, friends, and lots of treats! Halloween treats are some of the absolute best!

I can't decide which of those I love most so I like to combine family time with treat making.

To save you some time recipe hunting, I've pulled together 15 spooky sweets that are perfect for the whole family to create!

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.
