    Because Halloween is definitely not the healthiest of holidays, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include at least one nutritious addition to our list!

  10. Jell-O Eyeball Cheesecakes

    It just doesn’t get more ‘Halloween-y” than a creepy eyeball on a rich mini cheesecake. Each one is technically meant to be a single-serving, but we won’t tell you if you eat another one—or five!


  11. Halloween Cake Pops

    Everybody knows that cake pops are a cleaner alternative to a messy, goopy piece of cake, but many don’t realize just how simple it can be to customize them. C’mon, does it get any cuter than the Frankenstein pop?

  12. Black and Orange Deviled Eggs

    Even your classy hors d’oeuvres can be made to match your Jack-O-Lantern. It’s amazing what a bit of food coloring can do!

  13. Oreo Bugle Witch Hats

  16. Spooky Caramel Candied Pears

    Put a new spin on the classic candied apple dish by swapping the main ingredient for a pear. So decadent, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try this substitution sooner!

  17. Witch Hat Cupcakes

    If the Bugle sweet treats don’t really sound like they’d treat your palate right, then swap out the salty snack for an ice cream cone. Same effect, but even sweeter!

    This clever recipe is a must-try for anyone who LOVES the taste of oranges. Talk about a serious out-of-the-box food fusion!
