Halloween Baking Ideas

Chocolate Spiderweb Cupcakes

Take a cue from the itsy bitsy spider and serve mildly scary chocolate spiderweb cupcakes to your family this Halloween. 

These chilling desserts are easy to prepare, so you can even have the kids pitch in when it comes to mixing ingredients or decorating the tops with frosting. 

You can never have too many cupcakes, so you better grab this 24-cupcake frame by Lockwood to help you whip up a hefty batch of Halloween-themed cupcakes! 

Halloween Candy Bark

Traditional chocolate bars are great, but why settle for the basics when you can put a playful twist on things? 

Halloween candy bark is a quirky mess of candy combos. All you have to do is melt bittersweet chocolate and top it with your favourite bite-sized candy. When it’s ready, cut it into asymmetrical pieces for a fun aesthetic. Think edible version of Frankenstein… except it isn't alive, so don't worry! 

One of the key baking tools that you will need to bring this creation to life is a non-stick baking sheet by Meyer Houseware Canada. Aside from Halloween candy bark, you can also use this baking sheet to make cookies or pizza!  

Spooky Boo Brownies

Boo! 

This is one of the Halloween baking ideas with a spooky charm. We can't decide if these Spooky Boo Brownies are too scary to eat or too cute to eat. Either way, you and your family are in for a magical brownie and marshmallow-y treat! 

One of the essentials you'll need to create these ghostly desserts is a stackable cooling rack by Fox Run Canada. Let the festive treats cool to perfection on its lightweight chrome grids.

Halloween-Inspired Dessert Nachos

We know what you're thinking: nachos aren't desserts! 

Well, it's Halloween, so anything is possible—witches turn into cats, vampires turn into bats, princes turn into frogs… and nachos turn into desserts. 

This enchanting Halloween baking idea puts a 180-degree spin on your favourite Mexican snack. Plus, it's almost too easy to put together. Instead of covering nacho chips in savoury meat, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and jalapeños, you will find yourself covering green apple slices in candy corn, chocolate bits, peanut butter, and jam. 

We predict that these Halloween dessert nachos are about to be among your new favourite treats for the spookiest time of the year!

Aside from serving them on your Halloween snack table, these sweet treats are also perfect as party favours or trick-or-treat giveaways. Yet another fantastic Halloween baking idea that you can create with the whole family! 

The secret to making your Halloween lollipops pop is the amount of sprinkles you dip them in. Our advice? Go all out with Gourmet du Village unicorn sprinkles!
