Halloween is here! We’ve put together nine spooky and easy-to-make treats that will liven your festive Halloween party.

I don’t mind if you or your little goblins are clamoring to take a bite out of me - I’m completely irresistible, after all! My crunchy sugared exterior gives way to a soft, jam-like center, each bite a balance of bold, fruity sweetness. Mysterious and dark, black cocoa contributes to my fetching hue while adding a rich, smoky, earthy sort of flavor. Blend that with a tiny pinch of cinnamon and a splash of lime for an unexpected, yet completely complementary twist, and you'll wonder why you didn’t scare up some sweet treats out of Frozen Wild Blueberries sooner.

It takes less than five minutes to put together and chances are that you already have most of the ingredients on hand: cheddar cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, olives and garlic.

We like serving this dip with baked pita chips but tortilla chips or crackers are another option.

Devilishly spicy but not unbearably so, these crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds are dosed in tongue-tingling sriracha. Lightly salted and easy to munch, they were intended to be an ideal Halloween party snack, but instead are also perfectly suited to become emergency rations. Shelf-stable in an air-tight container for up to a month, this nutty blend of pumpkin and sesame seeds will prove ideal to munch on.

6. Halloween Rice

Black and orange to match the “traditional” colors of Halloween - this dish is a touch spicy too, enhanced with a slightly devilish addition of paprika and red pepper flakes. Toothsome wild rice makes it a stellar sort of pilaf, but it can also be an easy, no-muss main dish as well, thanks to the protein-packed black beans.

Pumpkin candy! Forget those truly scary mass-produced sweets for Halloween and try making easy treats like these. These festive treats do indeed have real pumpkin in them, along with bright, pie-inspired spices. Should you get a hold of edible ink markers, you could even dress them up as jack-0-lanterns, complete with uniquely cute or creepy faces.
