Four expert cookie makers have hosts Jet Tila and Rosanna Pansino thinking twice before taking a bite of their hyper-realistic body part cookies. Then, the cookiers find their inner witch to work their magic on 3D cookie cauldrons. To make sure one bite is all it takes to fly out of the lab with the $10,000 prize and the title of Halloween Cookie Champion, these brews will be made using potent ingredients like lavender, dried chilis, fennel pollen, truffle oil and balsamic vinegar.
Oh no! An ancient mummy is haunting the Fermentation Lab, munching on umami-filled ingredients like stinky cheese.

Then, it's "bone appetit" for judges Carla Hall, Zac Young and Stephanie Boswell as the bakers get inspired by the lab skeleton, Skelly, to create Skelly's forgotten desserts, where they must use Halloween mini chocolate bars to create skeletal desserts.
Four expert cookie makers turn the tables and show hosts Duff Goldman and Rosanna Pansino what would happen if our favorite Halloween treats wanted to eat us. After one baker is eliminated, the cookie makers reveal their talents by making two-sided trick-or-treat bags, with on side being light and fun while the other is dark and spooky. Naturally, a trick-or-treat bag is filled with candy, so these bags must be made with sour lemon candy, black licorice, cinnamon candy or peach rings. One trick-or-treater will walk away with an extra-sweet $10,000.
