Hosting a houseful of hungry ghosts and goblins this year? You're going to need a few sweet treats (and we're not talking about the cauldron of Halloween candy you put out for the neighborhood kids as they go door to door). We're talking about going all-out with fun, festive desserts for get-togethers big or small: creepy-cute cookies for some pre-trick-or-treating fuel, dinner party-worthy cakes and cupcakes, frightfully fun rice cereal brains for your at-home haunted house—and even more. With so many eerie-sistible choices, where do you start? You can't go wrong with any of the desserts in this roundup but we think that these haunted buckeyes are a must. Crispy rice cereal, seasonal sprinkles, a dab of food coloring and some googly eyes add delightful crunch and a festive touch to this classic peanut butter and chocolate treat. Kids will have a blast helping whip up these sweet desserts, too!

Create a haunted scene for your Halloween table with this creepy-cute layer cake. Conjure up your own eerie decorations with a little help from the viral rice paper wrapper trend—but cut the wrappers into spooky ghost shapes instead of flowers. They spring to life in hot oil and only take seconds to cook.

These Halloween-themed brownies provide a scary-good backdrop for spooky white chocolate ghosts. The ghosts are super easy to make with melted white chocolate and dabs of store-bought black icing for the eyes and mouth. Somewhere between fudgy and cakey, the brownies are spread with a salty-sweet chocolate glaze, which really makes the ghosts pop.

This candy corn-themed pie is one of our favorites. The colorful layers are tinted naturally with lemon juice, fresh mango and coconut milk so the finished dessert has a pleasantly tropical flavor—but looks just like the beloved Halloween candy. The pie is piled high with fluffy meringue (that’s toasted with a kitchen torch until browned and extra delicious) and then decorated with pieces of candy corn for a dessert that’s sure to keep your guests spellbound.
