Halloween is nearly upon us, so I thought I'd round up some quick and easy recipes and food ideas to help you get the party started even if it's last minute! However you celebrate Halloween, these tasty ideas are really easy to pull off and even the kids can help! These snacks and treats are also great for a movie-watching marathon with the family on the couch- my personal favorite way to celebrate 😁
I love all the themed Halloween treats around, but my priority these days is to make something delicious but that's also easy and that I can whip up with store-cupboard ingredients if possible 😉 Hence these adorable Halloween Jack O' Lantern hand pies! These yummy pies are not only super fun to look at, but they're also very tasty indeed, only require 2 ingredients, and you can whip up a batch in a jiffy!
Our Cute Candy Corn DIY Halloween Party Decorations and Ideas
Don't know about you, but Halloween for me needs to be sweet and not so scary. That's how I really like to celebrate 'round here! So this year, I went all out on the cuteness factor using our Cute Candy Corn Halloween Printables to style this adorable party table full of easy DIY details and décor that you can easily pull off at home!
Last year for Halloween, I made a super delicious chocolate and orange layer cake with meringue ghost toppers . So this year, I wanted to bake something tasty, but a lot quicker and simpler too. Something which you could actually bake with the kiddos at home for Halloween. Therefore, I came up with these delicious Halloween chocolate cupcakes with condensed milk frosting (also known as the most delicious, silky smooth, quick and EASY homemade chocolate frosting EVER) topped with the cutest fondant ghost toppers! 👻
This year, Halloween is a little more demure at ours. So, I opted for creating a few decorations that would reflect a "calmer" and more cozy vibe with neutral colors and a more paired-down style. To be honest, I much rather prefer this black and white, clean, modern monochrome vibe than anything too loud anyways! Not to mention that, (apart from the spider webs) this décor can be re-purposed for the November and Fall months too!
Halloween for my family has always been about the fun costumes, snuggling up on the sofa while watching movies, and eating candy. So although Halloween may look a little different this year, we'll still just see it as an excuse to snuggle up on the sofa to watch fun movies...and eat lots of candy! 😁 Hence these adorably cute, decorative Halloween throw pillows to make our sofas a little more cozy and a lot more BOO-tiful 👻
If you need a last-minute recipe for your Halloween party, then this Candy Corn Jello recipe is for you! Jello is not only fun to make (and eat), but it also super inexpensive and mega quick to make. So it's the ideal Halloween recipe if you're pushed for time! Not to mention that it's a hit with kids and grown-ups alike (hello Vodka jello shots!) 😋
Halloween Chocolate Orange Layer Cake with Meringue Ghosts 👻
Today's post is a Halloween chocolate and orange cake, with a chocolate orange buttercream, a chocolate drip and sweet meringue ghosts to add extra spookiness to the ensemble! Talk about spook-tacular, right?! 👻 This cake combines some of the trendiest techniques out there for decorating layer cakes, like stripes and drips, and the chocolate orange flavor is a combo made in Halloween heaven. Or hell 🤷♀️
No-Bake Pumpkin Spice Parfaits Recipe
Thanksgiving is 'round the corner, and if you need a quick, easy and above all, no-bake dessert recipe; then this post is for you! 😉 As a lover of all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice, I was looking for tasty ways to use up the tons of pumpkins we have in the house this time of year... So I came up with these tasty parfaits that are slightly inspired by my pumpkin Tiramisu recipe, which I shared a few years ago here.
Jack-O'-Lantern Halloween Cookie Cake
My obsession with these cookie cakes started this summer when I made my very first cookie cake in the shape of a pineapple . Since then, I've been dreaming up other fun shapes to create, hence today's Jack-O'-Lantern inspired Halloween cookie cake! This cookie cake is SO easy to make and combines the best of both cookie and cake worlds - buttery shortbread cookies, sandwiched together with chocolate cream cheese frosting, topped with ridiculous amounts of candy. Well, it is Halloween after all! 🎃🍬👻
Did you see my Day of The Dead dinner party tablescape I shared last week?

Day of The Dead Dinner Party Ideas
Even since my daughter and I watched the Disney Pixar film Coco , I've been dying to style a Dia de Los Muertos or Day of The Dead dinner party!
