17 Spooky Recipes For Halloween Season

by Amy Sachs

October is here, and that means one thing, and one thing only — the season for spook is here, too! Halloween is already right around the corner, and it will be here before we can say "BOO!" Those random, spirit-filled Halloween pop-up stores have started setting up shop everywhere you look, serving as a not-so-subtle reminder that you still need to think of a costume. As Halloween, and most importantly Halloween party season, creeps closer and closer, so does the need for planning your tricks and your treats. It's time to start thinking about what scary good Halloween Party recipes you'll be serving this year.

Aside from the costumes, the most important (and most fun!) part of October is the baking and cooking it allows. From baking cookies, to candy-coating apples, and of course all the candy, October is the season for eating and crafting. If you are looking for some easy, fun ways to entertain your Halloween party guests this year, you're in luck!

From recipes that are chocolatey and amazing, to creepy and crawly, there is something here for you. If you want something incredibly easy with a huge cute factor?
