5 Halloween treats you’ll actually want to eat
Let’s be honest, the real reason we all put up with Halloween is for the treats, not the tricks. This year, skip the gummy Dracula fangs and make some treats you’ll actually want to eat.
1. The ghostly meringue
Why should Christmas get all the meringue love? Meringues will always look a little otherworldly, so if you're looking for a fun Halloween recipe project, mini meringue ghosts will always go down a treat with kids – young and old. Bonus points if you serve them on top of a berry tart for a Tarantino-esque dessert.

2. The gory red velvet cupcake
Not that we need an excuse to eat red velvet cupcakes, but they seem especially fitting for the lazy person's Halloween celebrations thanks to their bloodied colour. Dot the icing with splashes of more red colouring for an extra gory effect if you like.

3. The 'death-by-triple-chocolate cookies'
These are great to make with any kids you're entertaining over Halloween. If you want, add a bit of Halloween-themed food colouring to the filling.

For the people out there who aren't into the scary side of Halloween, these cookies are the Disney princess-equivalent of a Halloween outfit.

5. The trick-or-treat friendly caramel corn
Did you forget it was Halloween and now you've got angry trick-or-treaters banging down your door? In 25 minutes, you can have the best caramel corn ready. Set it in balls to make handing out even easier and mix in other sweets and chocolates if you like.
