Spooky Desserts


As the silly string cobwebs are sprayed around the house, the cardboard tomb stones are erected in the front yard and the family pulls on their costume, the celebration of Halloween begins with a boo!

However, one eerie element, which can be hastily overlooked as a holiday novelty, are the spectacularly spooky sweet treats which make for frighting fun when serving your guests. We have clawed up our pick of favourites for this haunting, so all you have to do is go ahead and pick your poison, but good luck resisting the urge to dig into these desserts before the corpse company arrives. Spooky Desserts
