Halloween Dessert Recipes That Are So Easy It’s Scary

Halloween activities can leave little time for baking, especially when trick or treaters keep the doorbell ringing. These easy Halloween dessert recipes use basic ingredients that come together in minutes with something special for the young and old(er).

Dracula Dentures

Dracula never bit into anything as delicious as these cookies. Yet, this is one of those easy Halloween dessert recipes made easier by using premade chocolate chip cookie dough.
