Do you have your bat cupcakes ready?

Nothing says Halloween quite like sweet treats. It's part of the iconic tradition of trick-or-treating, and candy is the perfect addition for horror movies. Something to pick you up after you've terrified every neighbour by dramatically screaming at your laptop screen after a series of very well-built jump scares. No movie marathon is complete without some candy corn, and there's nothing more classic for this season than to go camping, prepare some s'mores by the fire, and tell some scary tales for a very fun sleepless night. 

That said, we think you can take it up a notch. What if instead of getting some store-bought generic candy, you were to give your desserts a little DIY personality? If you're using your creative skills for a masterful costume that will get you the prize at the next Halloween party anyway, why not take some of that creativity into building a dessert tray that will win you the hearts and taste buds of friends and family? The perfect activity for a spooky season get-together. 

Best part is, you don't really have to be a culinary genius to get a hand of these. And if they end up looking a little crooked, you can just say it's part of the horror mood you were looking for. This is the best and most delicious way to finally feel like Dr. Frankenstein, with some exquisite monsters in the making. That said, please abstain from actually giving them life through a thunderstorm. We'd rather you just ate them with hot chocolate or some freshly made coffee. If you just can't help but take Dr. Frankenstein's route, make sure to add extra sprinkles, so at least they'll end up being festive-looking. 

So, for all the horror chefs ready to get some sugar into their systems, here's a tasty collection of Halloween desserts that will help you give the ultimate touch to your spooky aesthetics. Note: this addition to your decorations will only last a couple hours, because most likely, guest will be unable to resist the temptation of a Rice Krispie mummy. You know what they say: "All good things must be accompanied by some ice cream".
