Halloween is a great time to get everyone involved in the kitchen. Not only are the kiddos bouncing off the wall from a mix of excitement and treats — but there are so many fun projects that are easy enough for bakers of all skill levels to accomplish. Whether you whip up a themed dessert or try your hand at baking some creepy-cute Halloween cupcakes or cookies, you'll find that you can make something pretty spectacular, even if you're not a decorating pro. Looking for a kid-friendly option that everyone will enjoy? Try these pudding "dirt" cups. Black cocoa whipped cream and white spiderwebs make them extra creepy, while sugar-coated gummy bears stand in as 'spiders' for an extra eerie effect.

Who doesn't love a fun breakfast option? These yummy pancakes get their ghostly shape from an assortment of cookie cutters — and kids of all ages will love dressing them up with sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, fruit and sauces.

From molding witch "feet" to putting together the candy-cookie hats, these cupcakes offer Halloween fun for monsters of all ages.

This irresistible snack mix takes the well-known combination of corn cereal, chocolate, peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar and gives it a Halloween twist. Mini candy bars (omnipresent this time of year) stand in for the chips and peanut butter. Salted peanuts and candy corn add color and salty crunch. The combination is scary good for Halloween--and the days after.
