Upgrade from your usual selection of store-bought chips, dips and candies with these homemade snack platters inspired by classic Halloween themes.

This adorable cheese ball gets its pumpkin-orange coloring from ground-up cheese puffs while the stem is cleverly stolen from a bell pepper.

Get crafty with this edible witch's hat: chocolate-flavored rice cereal, green food coloring and edible gold dust transform ordinary crispy rice treats into a sweet Halloween centerpiece.

Tap into your inner sculptor and make some edible Halloween art with cheese -- three different kinds, to be exact! Cheddar, goat cheese and a red wine and paprika-brushed Monterey Jack represent those iconic candy corn colors.

Serve with cheese knives and a bunch of your favorite crackers and watch this cheese tower disappear.
