What are we doing talking about Halloween at the start of September? Let's just address this elephant in the room. Halloween treats are delicious, completely indulgent, and kind of a pain to plan if you're hosting a party. With that in mind, welcome to our Halloween snack series. We'll bring you a collection of themed spooky snacks every couple of weeks so you stop worrying about the sweets and focus on your contest-winning costume. We kicked it off with pumpkin-inspired party fare and now we're moving on to ghosts, with options that are good for the whole family, even the really little ones. They might not be scary, but they're all deviously delicious.

If you're looking for something a little spookier, try our treats for grown-up Halloween parties.
