Simple decorating techniques make this a great novelty cake for parties, classrooms or after-school-club treats. [RECIPE]( PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES Made in an easy muffin method, the harvest flavours in these cupcakes are the base for our creepy Halloween cupcake collection. [RECIPE]( NO-BAKE MUMMY POPS This adult treat is a cross between a cake pop and a rum ball. Look for lollipop sticks and cake pop stands at bulk food stores or in the baking aisle of the grocery store. We wrapped the sticks in gauze for a mummified effect. These pops taste best when cold, so keep them in the fridge until you're ready to sink your teeth into them. For an alcohol-free version, substitute 3 tbsp cold strong coffee for the coffee liqueur. [RECIPE]( MINI PUMPKIN CAKES [RECIPE]( DANCING SKELETON COOKIES [RECIPE]( CREEPY WITCH'S FINGER COOKIES [RECIPE]( DINGBAT SANDWICH COOKIES This is a quick treat that kids and adults can assemble at the last minute. To achieve the best bat-like wings, break (rather than cut) the cookies in half to create a ragged edge. You need exactly one package of chocolate wafer cookies, so check closely at the grocery store to make sure none of them are broken. [RECIPE]( FRANKENCRISPIES Get all the mad scientists into the kitchen to bring these crispy rice squares to life. Add a little food colouring, some coating chocolate and candy, and these ordinary rectangles become monstrously delicious creations just dying to be devoured. [RECIPE]( CARAMEL APPLES This is a great two-person job - one can coat the apples in the delicious gooey caramel then the other can roll it in nuts. You'll need nine wooden stir sticks or chopsticks. Any caramel left in the pot after dipping can be scraped onto greased foil, cooled and cut into squares for treats. [RECIPE]( HAUNTED GINGERBREAD SHACK This spooky project has no base, so battery-operated flameless tea lights can be placed inside to cast an eerie glow through the windows and door. Leave the edges untrimmed after baking to give the shack its run-down look – perfect for Halloween. [RECIPE]( HALLOWEEN CRAFT IDEA: CROCHET A MINI GHOST DECORATION This little ghost brings more smiles than spooky shivers. Follow these easy steps to make your own friendly ghost decoration to haunt your halls this Halloween. [INSTRUCTIONS]( HOW TO MAKE A CUTE CROCHETED HALLOWEEN BAT This spooky little bat is the perfect addition to any Halloween decor scheme. Hang it from trees, doorways and any other place that needs some frightfully fabulous decoration.
