Get the RecipeTips for Making No-Bake Halloween Treats for a Party
- Choose a mix of treats. A couple of chocolate options, something fruity, and a few fun decorated cookies make a nice Halloween dessert table.
- Check chilling times. Fudge, chocolate bark, Oreo balls, and other dipped treats may need time to set before you can pack or serve them.
- Keep school rules in mind. Some recipes contain peanuts, tree nuts, or other common allergens. Check ingredient labels and classroom food policies before bringing treats to school.
- Decorate with kids. Cookie decorating, adding candy eyes, and arranging treats on platters are easy ways to involve younger helpers. Adults should handle hot melted chocolate, and decorations should be age-appropriate.
- Think about transport. Cookies, cereal treats, and fudge are generally easier to pack than mousse cups, floats, or desserts that need to stay cold.
