Savory Halloween Recipes
Savory recipes are always in demand! Here are three of my favorites I’ve made over the years:
Watermelon Salsa + Halloween Tortilla Chips
Perfect for summer jack-o-lanterns or a Halloween party. The homemade tortilla chips are easy to put together, and making them in Halloween shapes is a fun way to customize them for a party theme. SEE THE RECIPE
Graveyard Dip
A friend brought this to my Halloween party back in 2016, and I decided to recreate it for the blog. It’s a fun and delicious dip perfect for a spooky cocktail hour or Halloween party. SEE THE RECIPE
Spooky Spuds & Sprouts
Admittedly, this one is included more for the color pallet than anything else, but it’s such a quick and easy veggie recipe. I love making this with a protein, and it’s easy to Halloweenify. SEE THE RECIPE

Sweet Halloween Recipes
Looking for something to satisfy that sweet tooth? While some of these were made to celebrate Halloween in other seasons, there’s no reason you couldn’t make them any time of year for a sweet Halloween treat!
Popcorn Balls
A Halloween classic you can easily customize with added candy, nuts, or chocolate chips. Plus, my recipe just takes three ingredients, which you probably already have on hand. SEE THE RECIPE
Halloween Ice Scream Cake
I shared this family recipe for Summerween. Grab some Halloween Oreos and pumpkin ice cream, and make your own! SEE THE RECIPE
Almond Butter Tombstones
These were made as a holiday season treat, but it’s another easy how-to that you could make any time you need a little Halloween treat. SEE THE RECIPE
Halloween Birthday Cake
I will forever be obsessed with this Halloween birthday cake I made myself in May 2020. It definitely cheered me up on such a strange birthday in the early pandemic. SEE THE RECIPE

Pumpkin Recipes
These are a personal favorite because while pumpkin drinks are hit-and-miss for me…pumpkin baked goods are always a hit.
Mom’s Pumpkin Bread
One of my all-time FAVORITE family recipes I’ve shared—my mom’s pumpkin bread she makes every fall. It’s best hot out of the oven with butter. 🤤 SEE THE RECIPE
Pumpkin Cookies
Another favorite family recipe. It isn’t fall until I’ve had a batch of these. SEE THE RECIPE
Pumpkin Juice
It isn’t just for Harry Potter lovers! This one is a fun treat to enjoy when you’re missing fall…or when you need a little something different in your cup. SEE THE RECIPE
Pumpkin Float
More of a how-to than a recipe, honestly, but if you love pumpkin…’tis the season to seek out everything you need to try one of these. SEE THE RECIPE
Pumpkin Brown Butter Cupcakes
This isn’t my original recipe, but I made it during a week celebrating “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”…and y’all. These cupcakes are TO. DIE. FOR. SEE THE RECIPE

Looking for a fun Halloween drink that isn’t a cocktail? I’ve made several over the years that you’ll enjoy.
Fall Harvest Iced Tea
RUN, do not walk, to your nearest Trader Joe’s for their fall harvest tea…then turn it into iced tea! This was popular for fall potlucks at work. SEE THE RECIPE

And finally, one of my personal faves! I love a good Halloween cocktail, and many of mine are recipes I’ve used for Halloweenie Roast over the years. (Fair warning, it’s a lot of margaritas because we loved them at the party!)
My Favorite Witches’ Brew
This one isn’t a margarita, but it’s one of my favorite drinks I’ve served at a Halloween party. SEE THE RECIPE
Beetlejuice Margarita
This layered cocktail is easy to put together…and includes an easy recipe for batch margaritas! Fair warning: I’m not responsible for what happens if you drink three. 😉 SEE THE RECIPE
Cranberry Margarita
Not only is this recipe tart and delicious; it’s also visually stunning. Add frozen fresh cranberries to keep it nice and chilled! SEE THE RECIPE
