    I made these graham cracker sandwiches an easy no-bake Halloween treat just by dipping the sides of the cookies in colorful sprinkles.

    These are the perfect dessert to make whenever you have leftover icing. Use store-bought or make your frosting from scratch, the recipe is so delicious either way. Seriously they are irresistible.

    I am a homemade frosting fanatic, and for me, any flavor works in graham cracker sandwich cookies. Some of my favorites are milk chocolate frosting, peanut butter frosting, and vanilla frosting.

    Desserts at Halloween are one of my favorite things to make, especially cookies since they are the perfect on-the-go dessert for trick-or-treat. My spooky spirals cookies, chocolate skeleton cookies, and monster cookies are always a hit.

    process of how to make graham cracker cookies with Halloween sprinkles

    Ingredients

    • Graham crackers: I like the honey flavor here, but you could use chocolate or even cinnamon to give this graham cracker dessert a twist!
    • Frosting: Make homemade or use store-bought, the decision is up to you! Customize the flavor of your frosting. I like peanut butter, milk chocolate and even cream cheese frosting in these sandwiches.
    • Sprinkles: Find sprinkles that are Halloween colors, like orange, purple, black or green.

    How to make Halloween graham crackers

    Graham cracker cookies are also genius for a sack lunch treat. They are easy to assemble in the morning before school for a little surprise. Here's how to make them:

    Use a butter knife or small offset spatula to spread about ¼ cup frosting on four whole (double squares) graham crackers (or one sheet). Top with remaining sheet of graham crackers and dip edges in the sprinkles.

    Store in an airtight container for a few hours to allow the graham crackers to become soft like a cakey cookie.

    Tara's Tip: You want the frosting to be stiff enough that it won't leak out the sides when you make your sandwich. Make sure you use enough confectioners' sugar and keep it at room temperature only if it's not too hot in the room. Otherwise keep the frosting chilled.

    Variations

    For these graham cracker Halloween treats the frosting is key. I know, some of you like the store-bought kind in a can, but not me! I have loads of super popular homemade frostings on the blog. Some of my very favorites are my vanilla Frosting, chocolate cream cheese frosting, and peanut butter frosting.

    Also, try classic cream cheese frosting or lemon frosting! You can use whatever you like in these no-bake treats for Halloween!

    If you end up using a white vanilla icing, you could even add a few drops of green or orange food coloring to make an extra festive Halloween treat.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What goes with graham crackers?

    For this recipe, that would be frosting, any flavor is great. I recommend milk chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, or cream cheese.

    Will graham crackers get soggy with frosting?

    The graham crackers will not get soggy but they will get soft. After several hours the moisture from the frosting allows the cracker to soften into a cookie-like texture. It will stay this soft for several days.

    How do you thicken frosting?

    For an American buttercream, or traditional confectioners' sugar frosting, simply add additional powdered sugar and whipping the frosting again in the stand mixer until light and fluffy.

        Hi Beth. Just gently pressing the sprinkles onto the sides after frosting and sandwiching the cookies makes the sprinkles stick. If you let the cookies sit the frosting will crust and not hold sprinkles.
