This post: 20 devilishly good Halloween treats your teen can make themselves / Post updated October 2022

Maybe it’s time for some good ‘ole fashioned Halloween fun!

Halloween might not be what it used to be when our kids were young, but that doesn’t mean they can’t stir up a little fun by whipping up a batch of fun, spooky treats in the kitchen.

Whether you and your teen whip these up together, you surprise them with a fun after-school bite or you let them invite a few friends over for an afternoon in the kitchen, these devilishly good treats are a fun way to celebrate Halloween!

So, go ahead… grab your favorite teen (even if they are a little clueless in the kitchen), crank up the creepy Halloween music and have a little fun! No prior kitchen experience is necessary for these easy Halloween treats your teen can make themselves!

20 Devilishly Good Halloween Treats Your Teen Can Make Themselves

 

 

Chocolate-Covered Halloween Pretzel Rods

My kids and I have made chocolate-covered pretzel rods dozens of times through the years – for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and even for their birthday parties. Oddly enough, we never made them for Halloween and I’m wondering why! They’re adorably fun and so easy to do AND the spooky possibilities are endless! 

Get the recipe here: Like Mother Like Daughter

 

Spooky Spider Cookies

These spooky spider cookies couldn’t be any easier OR cuter! Any cookie dough will do (although what teenager can resist a gooey chocolate chip cookie) – simply drizzle chocolate, add an upside Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and candy eyes, and voila!

Easy Peazy Monster Munch

Crunchy, sweet, salty, chewy and delicious – this easy monster munch is so ridiculously good (and easy), you’ll want to make it year-round! It might look challenging, but it’s only six simple ingredients and it’s ready in no time!

Rice Krispies Monster Treats

How cute are these monster bites? Just add purple and green food coloring to the classic Rice Krispies Marshmallow Treats (found on the back of any Rice Krispies cereal box), shape into balls and add candy eyes for a “monsterish” treat any teen would love.
