If You've Got It, Haunt It
On Halloween you’re bound to see a friendly phantom or two hanging around—especially in your kitchen! Whether you’re cooking up a themed breakfast, serving a fun Halloween dinner before trick-or-treating or baking a batch of haunted cookies and cupcakes, there’s no better way to add a festive touch than with a ghost or two. If you’re worried that your decorating skills aren’t up to par, we’re here to tell you that, with the help of these recipes, you can boo it! There’s a little something for everyone in this roundup (including some cakes for more advanced bakers) but there are plenty of easy-peasy options for anyone who’s short on time or ingredients, too. No matter what you decide to conjure up, these sugar cookies are a must. We’ve added pumpkin pie spice to give them a hint of seasonal flavor—and kept the decorating process simple enough that your little ones can help out.
