Directions

For a party full of little ghosts and goblins, whip up haunted buckeyes by mixing crispy rice cereal with seasonal sprinkles, a dab of food coloring, and googly eyes for crunch and fun. This twist on classic peanut butter and chocolate treats is perfect for kids to help make.

Create picture-perfect pumpkin cupcakes using the trendy flat frosting technique: frost the cupcakes, flip them over, and chill until firm. When turned right-side up, they're ready to be decorated into festive fall treats.

Make spooky white chocolate skulls with glowing red eyes using just maraschino cherries and white chocolate in a silicone skull mold. These easy candies can be served alone or used to top cupcakes, sundaes, and more.

Turn basic crispy rice treats into silly monsters by adding green food coloring to the mix. Dip them in chocolate for hair, attach mini marshmallows as neck bolts, then go wild with candies, icing, and edible decorations for a frightfully fun creation.
