I make a Christmas version of these every year and they’re ALWAYS a fan favorite, so obviously I need to make the Halloween version. Sweet, salty, ridiculously easy & one of those treats people keep going back for.

Made these caramel apple pretzel bites last week for a family get-together and they were a HIT. Sweet, salty, crunchy & very fall. My one tip: make them the day you’re serving them rather than ahead of time—they’re definitely better fresh.

Donut holes turned into little spiders with pretzel legs and candy eyes. Ridiculously easy, ridiculously snackable & there’s a very real chance I’d eat half of them while putting them together.

Soft pumpkin oatmeal cookies with cream cheese frosting sandwiched in the middle. These look like the kind of fall baking project that would be VERY worth the effort—and I’m pretty sure I’d have to hide a few for myself.

Brownie batter turned into a Halloween dessert dip with candy & sprinkles? Yeah, I’m not wandering very far from this bowl. Serve it with pretzels, cookies or graham crackers and watch it disappear.
