Wee squiddies (Lit’l Smokies)

Smokies in BBQ sauce are a hit at any party, and this recipe makes them perfect for Halloween. They look like really questionable calamari. Eeewww…but also, yum!

Dem bones

This recipe is a great example of taking an everyday favorite and reimagining it as a creepy Halloween treat. Let it inspire you to revisit your own recipe cards with a twisted spirit.

Sweet specters

These shape-shifting meringue ghost cookies only look tricky.

Tasty mice

For some families, these little critters are a Halloween tradition, but they can also be a great classroom party treat. (Save the recipe, and you can make them again at Christmas, too!)
