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!)
