Answer 3

Halloween cupcakes are always fun to make, such as candy corn for cat's ears and maybe licorice for whiskers if you'd like, and also try food coloring for the icing if you want. Also adding little chocolate chips for eyes would be fun and yummy, or even colored frosting. Also, Jell-O in fun shapes isn't bad, either! Have fun with whatever you choose to make!

Answer 4

Dirt cups. They are fun and good. You take chocolate pudding and add crushed oreo cookies on top. You can add gummy worms or whipped cream (shape into ghosts) if you would like. All the kids enjoy this and it's simple and quick to make. Enjoy.

Answer 5

rice krispie treats are always good. usually they sale orange and black ones around this time, and you make them the same way you would a regular batch, or you can add food coloring. Also, Pillsbury sales cookies in the shape of pumpkins and ghosts that you can ice.
