The 4 Halloween Treats I Bring to Parties

Hey Reader,

We've always been the house that hosts trick-or-treating, and I feed all the kids halfway through the night when they come back for a break. These days, though, I'm just as likely to pack up treats for an adult Halloween party.

I bring these four every time, and people always ask how I make them. None of them need fancy decorating skills, which is exactly what I want the week of Halloween.

Easy to Make the Night Before the Party

You don't even have to turn the oven on to make Frankenstein Pretzels, I love the salty bite of the pretzel under the sweet coating. Let your kids do the decorating and make the faces as weird as they want.

There's brownie inside every one of these Monster Cake Pops, not cake. Use different colors to make them look artistic, but you don't need much skill beyond melting the candy discs.

No baking for the Mummy Oreos either, so I make them the night before when I have just a bit of spare time. These use the same candy eyes as the other treats, which helps use the whole jar.

Melt, spread, sprinkle, and break the chocolate into pieces once it sets. Halloween Bark is the easiest of the four treats, and it travels to a party without falling apart.

Start with the Monster Cake Pops if you're bringing something to a party, since they're easy to eat while standing and chatting. Which party are you baking for this year?
