I started Ambitious Kitchen over 10 years ago and this is my FIRST roundup of Halloween treats! With 3 kiddos at home and spooky season upon us, I thought what better way to celebrate than with incredible, easy-to-make homemade treats that (dare I say) are even better than store-bought candy bars.
I picked out 10 of the best homemade Halloween treats that are not only delicious but are also so fun to make with kids, partners, or your besties. You’ll find a mix of baked and no bake treats that all have one thing in common: chocolate, duh. I’m not out here making homemade gummy worms because the best candies involve chocolate, right?! Right.
Many of these Halloween desserts are gluten-free and dairy-free or are easy to modify for dietary needs, so be sure to read the full posts of each recipe for all of my tips and tricks. Get those spooky costumes out and make some memories this year with these amazing treats!

Thank you for finally including pictures with each recipe! I’ve been waiting for you to do this for years! I usually skip your roundups because they’re underwhelming with a bunch of titles and nothing visual! Keep it up lady!!!
Absolutely! I’m trying to do so when we have a smaller number of recipes in the roundups (otherwise it just gets way too long!)
