Can’t figure out any spook-tacular treats to make to get into the spirit of Halloween? Well, if you answered yes then this is the perfect article for you. Halloween is a great holiday that calls for everything to be creepy, including snacks! So here are three terrifying Halloween treats that you can make at home with your friends and family!

Graveyard Pie

Ingredients:

• 16 graham crackers that are broken into large pieces
• One stick of unsalted butter that is melted and cooled
• One pint of vanilla ice cream that is softened
• One cup of roughly chopped Butterfinger candy bar
• One pint of chocolate ice cream that is softened
• One cup of roughly chopped Mounds candy bar
• Two tablespoons of melted chocolate chips
• Six oval chocolate sandwich cookies (a brand of your choice)
• 12 candy skulls for decoration purposes
• 20 chocolate wafers

How to make it:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, process graham crackers until finely ground (you should have about 2 cups). With motor running, add butter in a slow, steady stream and pulse until combined. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up side of a 9 1/2-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is dry and set, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely in plate on a wire rack, 45 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, stir vanilla ice cream with a wooden spoon until smooth. Fold in flaky-crisp candy bars. With a small offset spatula, spread ice cream mixture evenly in crust. Freeze until firm, 1 hour 20 minutes.
• Stir chocolate ice cream until smooth. Fold in coconut candy bars and spread evenly on top of vanilla ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, with a small spoon, place a dot of melted chocolate at one end of each sandwich cookie half. Immediately top with candy skulls and let set. In clean food processor, pulse wafers until finely ground (you should have about 1 1/4 cups). Spread crumbs on top of pie. With a knife, cut slits for “tombstones” and press cookie halves, cut side down, into slits. Then serve immediately.

Crisp Candy Corn Treats

Ingredients:

• Cooking spray
• Nine tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 12 cups of mini marshmallows
• ¾ teaspoon of fine salt
• Nine cups of rice krispy cereal
• One tablespoon of grated orange zest
• Yellow and red food coloring
• One tablespoon of grated lemon zest

How to make it:

• Lightly coat a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium. Add 4 cups miniature marshmallows and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt; stir until melted. Stir in 3 cups crisp puffed-rice cereal and immediately transfer to pan. Coat an offset spatula with cooking spray and firmly press mixture into an even layer.
• Rinse saucepan. Repeat step 1 twice: To second batch, add orange zest and enough yellow and red food coloring to tint marshmallow mixture orange before adding cereal, then press into pan. To third batch, add lemon zest and enough yellow food coloring to tint marshmallow mixture yellow. Press third batch into pan.
• Let set 2 hours (or overnight). Run a small knife around edges of pan and invert loaf onto a cutting board. With a serrated knife, cut loaf into 10 slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise.
• Using your hands, gently mold each treat into a candy-corn shape.

Halloween popcorn pumpkins

Ingredients:

• Five cups of popped popcorn
• One cup of candy corn
• One cup of chopped salted peanuts
• ½ cup of butter
• Three cups of mini marshmallows
• Four drops of red food coloring
• Three drops of yellow food coloring
• Four sticks of red or black licorice that are cut into thirds

How to make it:

• Grease a muffin pan and set aside. Place popcorn, candy corn and peanuts into a large bowl and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows, red food coloring and yellow food coloring, adjusting color if needed to get a nice shade of orange. When the marshmallows are completely melted, pour over the popcorn and stir to evenly distribute the candy, nuts and marshmallow.
• Use a greased spoon to fill the muffin cups. Insert a piece of licorice to act as the stem, and mold the popcorn around it. Let stand until firm, 10 to 15 minutes, and then pull the pumpkins out by their stems and admire your pumpkin patch!
