Host Josh Peck welcomes Tina, Paul, and Matthew, better known as the "Ghoul Gang," to a haunted library packed with spooky surprises. These three friends are obsessed with all things Halloween, attending horror events year-round and always on the hunt for their next scare. But master baker Andrew Fuller has something different for them to find: six secret sweets hidden throughout the library's creepy collections, eerie reading rooms, and haunted halls. The Ghoul Gang may know their Halloween props, but Andrew's hyperrealistic creations will have them questioning what's real and what's sweet. After the sweets are revealed, Andrew shows how he created his incredible edible illusions. If Tina, Paul, and Matthew can find all six, they win $12,000 to put toward their dream spooky road trip to Salem!
