  4. Combine a bag of candy with Nutella and a secret ingredient to make Halloween Puppy Chow.
  5. Dip Nutter Butter cookies in melted white chocolate and add mini chocolate chip eyes for Ghost Cookies.
  6. Attach broken pretzel pieces as legs and candied eyes to Oreo cookies to form Spider Cookies.
  7. Top crackers with raisins or chocolate chips to create spider eye snacks.
  8. Pipe chocolate over store-bought florentines to make spiderweb patterns.
  9. Set up a kids' table with mini donuts and let guests decorate their own Spider Donuts.
