From stuffed pepper jack-o'-lanterns to mummy hot dogs and spider deviled eggs, these recipes are both fun and delicious. You'll also find creepy-crawly dirt cups, a pumpkin coffee brew, and a mummy juice box for non-edible treats. Each recipe uses common ingredients and is easy enough for little helpers.

Directions

Cut a jack-o'-lantern face into a bell pepper, fill it with a mixture of ground turkey, rice, black beans, and cheese, then bake until cooked.

Encase each hot dog in crescent roll dough strips to look like a mummy, bake until golden, then dot on eyes with ketchup or mustard.

Combine orange juice, pineapple juice, and lemon-lime soda in a glass, then top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a frothy finish.

Bake and cool your preferred cookie dough, then affix candy eyes and leg shapes using melted chocolate, or use licorice strings or candy corn for legs.

Boil and peel eggs, cut in half, extract yolks and combine with mayonnaise, mustard, and spices. Refill the whites with this mix, then decorate with black olive slices to resemble a spider.

In a transparent cup or jar, alternate layers of chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos, finish with whipped cream, a candy pumpkin, and gummy worms or other treats.

Cover a juice box with white electrical tape or gauze, leaving an eye opening, then stick on googly eyes or draw eyes with a marker.

Simmer real pumpkin, warm spices, and your preferred coffee together in a slow cooker.
