Eyeball Caprese Bites
These eyeball caprese bites are an easy savory Halloween appetizer that still feels fresh and colorful. Mozzarella balls and olives create a simple eyeball look with almost no prep.
You're basically taking our caprese skewers recipe and adding olives for eyes.

Black Cat Cake Pops
These adorable black cat cake pops are a fun Halloween dessert that looks impressive but starts with a simple cake pop base. The chocolate ears, whiskers, and candy nose transform an ordinary treat into a party-ready centerpiece.
How to Make It:
Dip prepared cake pops (here's a link to our simple Oreo cake pops) in black candy melts and let the coating set slightly. Add candy eyes, then attach small black candy-melt triangles for the ears and a pink sprinkle or piped candy-melt dot for the nose. Use melted black candy coating to pipe on whiskers and a simple mouth.
Tips
Whiskers: You'll need to make the ear outlines by piping melted black candy melts on parchment paper and letting them harden. Attach the ears and pink ears (upside down pink heart sprinkles) with melted candy melts. Mouth: Do the same thing to make the candy whiskers or you can draw them on with a black edible decorating pen.

Ghost Marshmallow Pops
These ghost marshmallow pops are a super easy Halloween treat with a cute, simple look. A smooth white candy coating makes the marshmallows look more like little ghosts instead of just decorated marshmallows.
How to Make It:
Insert lollipop sticks into jumbo marshmallows or use two standard marshmallows for each ghost, then dip each one completely in melted white candy melts or white chocolate. Let the excess drip off and place the pops on parchment paper so the coating settles into a slightly rounded ghost shape. Once set, add two small eyes and an oval mouth with black decorating icing, melted dark chocolate, or a black edible marker.
