Of course your kids will get plenty of treats on Halloween, but these spooky Halloween desserts are too cute to pass up. Most of these are super easy and just require a few ingredients, but they make a big impact.

Step one: Pipe some melted chocolate onto parchment paper in the shape of spider webs. Step two: when they’re dry, peel them off and pop them into the frosting of a cupcake for a creepy dessert.Shutterstock

This one is easy-peasy. Pick up some of your favorite donuts, a pack of candy eyes, and some vampire teeth. Pop the teeth into the center of the donut and add the eyes for the perfect spooky treat.

Speaking of marshmallows, you can also just draw ghost faces on the front of them and pop them into some cute little cauldron or jar for a ghost snack.

Clearly ghosts are an easy Halloween object to model desserts after, but these little ghost meringues could not be cuter. Follow your favorite meringue recipe to make them as cake toppers or stand-alone treats.Irene Salvador / 500px/500Px Plus/Getty Images
