"Spider Cupcakes" - 2 dozen
1 (18 1/4 oz.) pkg. chocolate cake mix
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup butter; cubed
1/2 cup milk
2 tsps. vanilla extract
12 large marshmallows
Chocolate sprinkles
48 M&M's miniature baking bits
192 pieces black licorice (3")
Prepare cake batter according to package directions. Fill 24 greased or paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 350* for 21-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, combine the sugar, cocoa, butter and milk in a small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Cool to 110*. Beat with a wooden spoon until thickened and mixture begins to lose its gloss, about 8 minutes.
Cut marshmallows in half widthwise; place a half on each cupcake. Frost the marshmallows and tops of cupcakes. Dip cupcakes in chocolate sprinkles. Place a dab of frosting on each baking bit and press on cupcakes for eyes.
For spider legs, use a metal or wooden skewer to poke four holes on opposite sides of cupcakes; insert a piece of licorice into each hole.

A great recipe that's fast for Halloween is Kids will love the gross-out factor of this tasty finger food. Parents will love the fact that it is candy-free. Try some for a party or pre-trick-or-treating dinner.
Ingredients:
Cocktail wieners
6-inch tortillas
Ketchup or mustard
Toothpicks
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut a wedge into the end of each cocktail wiener to make a toenail.
2. Cut the tortillas into strips about 4 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Discard the ends.
3. Soften the strips in the microwave between damp paper towels for 10 to 30 seconds.
4. Roll each wiener in a tortilla strip and secure with a toothpick.
5. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Remove them from the oven, then fill the toenail with ketchup or mustard. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

There are many easy recipies, such as cut-out halloween shaped sugar cookies, chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting, popcorn balls, etc. But probably the quickest and easiest one I can think of is halloween rice crispies. I havent' looked this year, but rice crispies cereal used to put out a halloween version that had orange colored crispies mixed in...if they are still making those this year, that truly is a quick and eays halloween dessert recipe.
If you are more into baking, I will share this cute ideaI saw the other day...haven't tried it yet (I don't have any kids yet), but will be sure to remember it someday soon...
Buy one of those cake pans that have three circles - an inner , outer, and middle layer...the outer layer pour white cake batter that has been colored with orange food coloring...the middle layer, color it the batter with yellow, and the inner smallest circle, leave it white...when done, you will have a strange looking bullseye cake, but when you cut it into triangles, you will have the perfect candy corn cake...super cute! Could be served with ice cream, chocolate frosting, or just eaten alone.
Good luck!

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMm56
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

love those recipes there. any way, a ordinary cupcake plus a whip cream and melted choco on top will do.
take the cupcake, dump a mountain of cream and do 3 circle of melted chocolate on it. then take a fork and brush it lightly on the cream. it must look like cobweb designs! ang yummy too!
or shape ordinary cookie doughs into bones or pumpkins. then put orange flavored icing on top! yum!
