25 Halloween Desserts
How do you celebrate Halloween? Around here, we skip the horror and such and instead go for all things spooky and sweet. Use this list of goodies for your next Halloween party, or spoil your trick or treaters with homemade treats–you’ll be the talk of the neighborhood if you do!
If you are in a pinch and need something festive fast, try my #1 pick, these witch cauldron brownie bites. They come together so quickly and easily, and have all the spooky-cute vibes you could ask for. Definitely make sure to grab those candy eyeballs if you can–they really make the look!
I’m so excited to be sharing these recipes with you, so let’s dive right in!
1. Witch Cauldron Brownie Bites
One of my favorite spooky-cute Halloween desserts, these brownie bites are inspired by a witch’s bubbling cauldron.
2. Pumpkin Sugar Cookies
Just like the kind you had as a kid, but better! You’ll love this homemade version.
3. Spider Cookies
Marshmallow webs and candy spiders make these spooky spider cookies.
4. Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds
One of my healthier Halloween desserts, these pumpkin seeds are repurposed into a sweet, high-fiber treat. Psst: I also have savory roasted pumpkin seeds.
5. Ghosts in the Graveyard Dessert Shooters
How cute are these? Whipped cream ghosts and cookie tombstones make up these adorable Halloween dessert cups.
6. Reese’s Stuffed Cookies
Repurpose your leftover candy into these incredible Reese’s stuffed cookies. These are always a huge hit!
7. Dirt Cookies
Remember dirt pudding cups? These cookies are inspired by those creepy-cute childhood treats. I also have a homemade dirt cake recipe, if you’d prefer to go that route.
8. Caramel Apple Dip
Perfect for Halloween parties or seasonal snacking! Caramel apple dip tastes so much better when you make it from scratch.
9. Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Dip pretzels in chocolate for a salty sweet snack. Add Halloween sprinkles while the chocolate is still melty for festive flair!
10. Peanut Butter Brownies
One of my all time favorite Halloween desserts, this blondie/brownie hybrid is festive and absolutely irresistible.
11. Pumpkin Lofthouse Cookies
Love Lofthose cookies? My homemade pumpkin version will have you skipping the store-bought version from now on.
12. Homemade Caramel Candy
Why buy candy when you can make your own? Treat your guests to this homemade caramel, and they’ll keep coming back for more!
13. Dirty Brownies
Dirty brownies are made with peanut butter cups and Oreos for the most divine brownie experience of your life!
14. Butterfinger Cookies
Another candy/cookie hybrid, these butterfinger cookies are made with crushed up crunchy candy pieces. Yum 😋
15. Candied Pretzels
Buttery candied pretzels are similar to chocolate covered pretzels, but less fussy. I love roasting a batch of these while the kids are painting (they’re too young to carve) their pumpkins. Give them a try if you need a salty sweet snack among your Halloween desserts!
16. Monster Cookies
Monster cookies are giant cookies packed with all the fun add-ins. Feel free to add candy eyes to make yours even more monster-like (just gently nestle them on top of the cookies within a minute or so of them coming out of the oven)!
17. Kettle Corn
Another salty sweet treat, kettle corn is always a hit. Package in individual bags for trick-or-treaters, or portion into cups for party guests.
18. Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Once you try homemade, the pre-made version just won’t cut it anymore. They are surprisingly easy to make too!
19. Puppy Chow
Perfect for parties! This sweet treat is hard to stop eating once you start.

These homemade cosmic brownies are out of this world delicious! I also have a recipe for cosmic cookies, if you prefer to make those.
22. Pumpkin Cupcakes
Pumpkin cupcakes are a classic! Get creative with the decoration here–festive Halloween sprinkles are a must for Halloween desserts.
23. Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars
Swirled pumpkin cheesecake bars are so fun for Halloween parties. Feel free to make these on an Oreo crust for more of a Halloween color scheme.
24. Pumpkin Fudge
Spoil your trick-or-treaters with a piece of pumpkin fudge! This recipe packs nicely in cellophane bags.
25. Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats
Spice up brown butter rice krispie treats with the flavor of the season! Don’t forget the Halloween sprinkles.
BONUS RECIPE: An All Hallow’s Eve Drink
