The 10 Most Popular Halloween Treats on Pinterest — From Scary Witch Fingers to Mini Pies
1/11Halloween is a time for dressing up in festive costumes, watching scary movie marathons, and of course, eating delicious Halloween candy. While trick-or-treating and costume parties are always the most hyped part of the holiday, my favorite part is making homemade and themed snacks with my family. That's why I was so excited when I discovered the 10 most pinned Halloween treats and recipes on Pinterest. Talk about major inspiration!
2/11DIY Mini Carmel Apples
While caramel apples are a popular Halloween snack, they’re often too big and messy to carry around. Mini caramel apples, however, are the perfect bite-sized solution, and all you need is a melon scooper and melted caramel to make them.
3/11Brownie Cupcakes
This classic black and orange cupcake is perfect for your next Halloween party. To make the colorful cupcake layers, you’ll need brownie mix and white cake mix. Then, with a little bit of food coloring, some frosting, and a few sprinkles, you’ve turned a normal cupcake into a tricked out Halloween treat.
4/11Voodoo Doll Cookies
Voodoo dolls might be super creepy, but at least these cookies don’t have to be. Made with a simple sugar cookie recipe, these gems are fun to hand out to your friends. Plus, let's not pretend that you won't be nibbling on the limbs!

The secret to making these adorable miniature pumpkin cakes is a bundt cupcake pan — yes, they exist. All you have to do is stack two on top of each other and you're left with a treat so cute, you almost don't want to eat it!
6/11Witch Finger Cookies
The thought of eating a witch finger sounds quite terrifying, but this treat is actually quite the opposite. Using a basic sugar cookie recipe, roll out the dough into a fingerlike shape, and then top each one with an almond to look like a nail. With green food dye in the batter, these cookies make for a delicious and totally creepy Halloween snack.
7/11Mini Pumpkin Pies
The task of baking a pumpkin pie from scratch sounds daunting, but this recipe is far from that as the recipe only requires a pre-made tart shell. Then, all you have to do is pour your filling into the mini tins, bake for 30 minutes, and serve! Your friends will thank you!
8/11Coffee Cheesecake Oreo Brownies
When a recipe has “cheesecake,” “oreo,” and “brownies” in the same sentence, you know it’s going to be a winner. The fact that you can make these in under 60 minutes by simply stacking Oreos on top of brownie mix, and topping with a simple coffee-flavored cheesecake batter is just a bonus.
9/11Caramel Apple Pudding Cups
These pudding treats are made with vanilla instant pudding and applesauce to create a creamy and sweet flavor. And since this dessert is made in a cup, it's the perfect portable gift for a house party.
10/11Marshmallow Ghost Cupcakes
When I was little, the most common way to “play with my food” was by making ants on a log with celery and raisins. Well this spooky cupcake recipe definitely turns that idea up a notch. Each cupcake is made with white icing, and mini chocolate chips to create the face of a ghost. Make them look scary or surprised, it's all up to you.
11/11Bloody Candy Apples
This recipe requires a few extra steps, but the results are totally worth it! The apples are coated with white chocolate, and then a mixture of corn syrup and red food coloring is used to make a bloody drizzle on top. As scary as these apples may look, they're actually super sweet.
