If you're looking for fun and easy desserts to impress your guests, these five simple ideas are sure to impress at your next Halloween party.

1. Witch Hat Cookies

These cookies are not only adorable but incredibly easy to make. All you need are chocolate-striped shortbread cookies, Hershey’s Kisses, and a bit of orange icing. Simply attach a Hershey’s Kiss to the center of the cookie with icing, then pipe a small ring around the base of the chocolate to create a witch hat.

2. Ghost Brownies

For a fun twist on classic brownies, cut them into squares and top with marshmallow "ghosts." Use melted white chocolate or white frosting to cover the marshmallows, then add two small chocolate chips for eyes. These ghostly brownies will give your dessert table a fun flair.

3. Monster Rice Krispie Treats

Everyone loves a classic Rice Krispie treat, and with just a little creativity, you can turn them into cute monsters. Simply make a batch of your favorite Rice Krispie treats, and once cooled, cut them into rectangles. Dip the tops in colorful candy melts (green, purple, or orange) and add icing eyes and candy decorations to bring them to life.

4. Pumpkin Patch Dirt Cups

These layered desserts combine crushed Oreos and chocolate pudding to resemble dirt. Top with candy pumpkins or pumpkin-shaped gummies, and add green-tinted shredded coconut to mimic grass. Serve in clear cups for the full effect. These are a great option for kids.

5. Spider Web Cupcakes

Start with any flavor of cupcake you like and top with chocolate or vanilla frosting. To create the spider web design, pipe three circles of white or black icing over the top, then drag a toothpick from the center outward to form a web. Add a gummy spider or two for an added effect.
