Costumes and <a href="/recipes/halloween/candy/">candy</a> - that's pretty much Halloween in a nutshell. So it's no surprise that Halloween desserts are an integral part of this spooktacular holiday. It's fun to come up with sinister twists on old favorites - just make the most of what's available in the Halloween aisle and have some fun. <a href="/recipes/halloween/dessert/cupcakes/">Cupcakes</a> are a no-brainer - try these, made with seasonal apple butter - and use orange candy pumpkins, chocolate bats made of icing, and white marshmallow ghosts for cute toppers. Or opt for sugar cookies - tinted icing and sparkly orange sugar are everywhere this time of year. And don't forget <a href="/blogs/cooking/candied-apples-halloween/">caramel apples</a> - they're a holiday icon. When it comes to Halloween, there's no such thing as too scary - or too sweet.
