Wee squiddies (Lit’l Smokies)
Smokies in BBQ sauce are a hit at any party, and this recipe makes them perfect for Halloween. They look like really questionable calamari. Eeewww…but also, yum!
Dem bones
This recipe is a great example of taking an everyday favorite and reimagining it as a creepy Halloween treat. Let it inspire you to revisit your own recipe cards with a twisted spirit.
Sweet specters
These shape-shifting meringue ghost cookies only look tricky.
Tasty mice
For some families, these little critters are a Halloween tradition, but they can also be a great classroom party treat. (Save the recipe, and you can make them again at Christmas, too!)
Witch's brew
Every hour will be the witching hour when you serve this potent punch.
