Here’s a round-up of the best spooky Halloween treats to make for your kids this October! From ghost brownies to spider web cookies to mummy Rice Krispies Treats, you’ll find something delicious for all of your little goblins to enjoy!
It’s October, which means your kids have already planned their Halloween costumes three times, changed their minds twice, and are now asking if they can dress up as something that costs approximately your monthly grocery budget.
But here’s the good news – you can absolutely nail Halloween in the treats department without losing your sanity. I’m talking about the kind of Halloween desserts that look impressively Pinterest-worthy but are actually so easy that you could make them while simultaneously helping with homework and answering work emails.
You know what I’m NOT talking about? Those elaborate sugar cookie decorating tutorials where the mom has a perfectly clean kitchen and unlimited time. Bless those women, but that’s not us right now.
Instead, I’ve rounded up my favorite Halloween treats that are actually doable on a random Tuesday evening when you remember there’s a class party tomorrow. We’re talking ghost brownies that use a box mix (zero shame!), mummy Rice Krispies treats, and spider web cookies that look fancy but take about 20 minutes.
So grab your Halloween sprinkles, make yourself a PSL, and let’s make some Halloween treats that your kids will love!
