With 3 kiddos at home and spooky season upon us, I thought what better way to celebrate than with incredible, easy-to-make homemade treats that (dare I say) are even better than store-bought candy bars.
I picked out the best homemade Halloween treats that are not only delicious but are also so fun to make with kids, partners, or your besties. You’ll find a mix of baked and no bake treats that all have one thing in common: chocolate, duh. I’m not out here making homemade gummy worms because the best candies involve chocolate, right?! Right.
Many of these Halloween desserts are gluten-free and dairy-free or are easy to modify for dietary needs, so be sure to read the full posts of each recipe for all of my tips and tricks. Get those spooky costumes out and make some memories this year with these amazing treats!
Jazz them up with fun Halloween decorations
Grab the kiddos and have fun decorating these easy Halloween treats! Here are some extras I like to add to these treats:
- Dye-free sprinkles: add these natural, Halloween-themed sprinkles to any of the cookies or bars right after baking or drizzling them with chocolate! Kiddos can also roll any of the energy bites in the sprinkles for an extra treat.
- Chocolate candies: use these “ghouls mix” M&M’s in the monster cookies and monster cookie energy bites.
- Spooky edible decorations: add silly eyeballs, pumpkins, ghosts, and more on top of any of the bars after baking and/or before chilling them.
- Classic candy corn: an easy, cute topper for the chocolate topping on these bars!
