Let’s face it, edible crafts are the way to go! These sweet festive desserts are fun to put together and eat. Plus, if you want the kids to become better acquainted with the kitchen, tempt them with treats! Of course, we’re all about finishing up the veggies first… but the holiday season’s right around the corner!

BarbD’s Halloween Pumpkin Bars are the treat to make when you’ve got to entertain a crowd. Just bake the tasty homemade pumpkin cake ahead of time, layer on the cream cheese frosting and let them decide what silly face to draw on their bars. Each piece is cut into a square, the perfect size for little hands.

Whisk’s Wacky {Cup}Cakes for Halloween are unlike any cupcake we’ve ever seen! That’s because she actually baked each individual cake in a cookie cutter! Not only are these cute, but Whisk uses a reliable recipe that’s been a favorite of hers since childhood.

If you need a dessert that’s low-key but still fun, try KraftKitchensExpert’s Boo Cups. The only thing scarier than a silly ghost is a mess on your floor! But don’t worry about these, not only are they friendly cool-whip ghosts but they’re kid-friendly. Each one comes in its own cup, with alternating layers of crushed cookies and chocolate pudding.
