Bring on the Halloween snacks because Halloween food goes beyond all the bite-sized candy. You can make some of the best Halloween treats and snacks in the comfort of your own kitchen. 

Or lose the tricks and just treat yourself to a Sakuraco Subscription Box. We were treated to two fun subscription boxes from Sakuraco, a monthly Japanese Snackbox Experience! Beautifully packaged for seasonal gift-giving with treats and teas perfect for sharing, too.

So, without further ado, let’s explore our list of 19 frightfully delightful Halloween treat ideas and snack recipes! 

1. Halloween Trail Mix

Here’s our no-cook recipe that is super Halloween-festive. Reese’s Pieces, cheddar pretzels, popcorn and candy pumpkins, plus the classically scorned candy corn (bless their hearts) and Bugles marry beautifully, and the Chex cereal pulls it all together. 

2. Butterscotch Pumpkin Cheerios Treat Bars

You may already have Cheerios in the kitchen, so why not use them for this chewy and mouth-watering Halloween snack. 

3. Frankenstein Crispy Rice Treats

Halloween brings out the kid in all of us, and it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in both green icing and Rice Krispy Squares. Another example of easy-does-it, they are fun to make with the whole fam.

4. Mozzarella and Roasted Red Pepper Boo-schetta

Create the look of an eyeball with red veins on each piece. These will look great on a Halloween snack board!

5. Witch’s Cupcakes

If you love creative Halloween snacks, Witch’s Cupcakes are just the thing. Create miniature witch heads, complete with a hat and pointy nose, on each cupcake.

6. Candy Corn Granola Bars

Oats, vanilla, and crispy rice cereal are ingredients in these all-treat-no-trick Halloween-themed bars.

7. Candy Corn Flower Cupcakes

These can be the simplest part of your whole snack table: Redecorate store-bought cupcakes with store-bought candy corn and sprinkles, or make them from scratch. Either way, they are super fall-festive and yummy (and a fun project with kids).

8. Mummy Brownies

More adorable than scary, these mummies are cute little snacks to enjoy any cool and breezy fall day. Combine the chewy decadence of brownies with sweet white chocolate icing to create the mummy design. 

9. 7-Layer Spider Web Dip

Have you ever tried a 7-layer dip? It’s popular at parties for good reason. 7-Layer Spider Web Dip is ideal for Halloween parties, creating a creamy dip and a conversation starter. (The spiders are made out of black olives; no real spiders were harmed in the making of this dip!)

10. Roasted Garlic “Vampire” Dip

Worried about vampires this Halloween? No problem, we’ve got you covered. Those scary bloodsuckers hate garlic. Load up on garlic in this Roasted Garlic “Vampire” Dip. 

11. Peanut Butter Caramel Apples

Caramel apples are a fall and Halloween classic. Why not give them a twist with some peanut butter? Make sure to have chopped peanuts, as these add an extra crunch.

12. Pumpkin Soup in Mini Pumpkin Bowls

While a bit labor intensive, these would make a festive preamble to a special fall dinner. Save the small pumpkins for wildlife feed or clean them and bake them to process into a puree.

13. Pumpkin Fluff Dip

If you adore pumpkin pie but don’t feel like having a whole crust-heavy slice, our Pumpkin Fluff Dip is a perfect sweet treat.

14. Yummy Mummy Dogs

Yummy Mummy Dogs for Halloween are fun treats and snacks for any time of the fall season, but especially for Halloween. Skip the candy eyes and just use a toothpick to dot on some mustard for eyes.

15. Halloween Puppy Chow

You may be wondering “how do I get more eyeballs into my snacks?” well, we have the recipe for you right here. It’s chocolate, peanut butter and all the Halloween-treat goodies in one fun bowl. 👀

16. Wicked Brittle

Delightfully crunchy and toothsome, this “wicked” brittle is made with macadamia nuts and sesame seeds instead of peanuts.

17. Cheddar Crackers

Homemade crackers offer a completely different taste experience from the store-bought variety. You don’t need the pumpkin-shaped cutters (a shot glass or small juice glass would work), but they do require a food processor and a rolling pin.

18. Pumpkin Hummus

I found that pumpkin puree’s mild flavor doesn’t deter from the lovely garlic flavor here. Great color, though, and will make a nice addition to the snack table.

19. Halloween Cake Pops

This is easy snack from the Slow Roasted Italian: Dip and decorate simple cake balls in a variety of sprinkles, eyes, and colored melting chocolate.
