Treats & Spooky Eats
Halloween Recipes
Halloween food should be fun to make and easy to eat in costume. This collection covers the whole evening: a filling dinner before trick-or-treating, treats for a party table and a use for the seeds you scoop out of the jack-o'-lantern.
The muffins, brownies and crispy rice treats can all be made the day before, so you are not baking while the doorbell rings.

Quick answer
Savour's Halloween recipes are stuffed pepper jack-o'-lanterns (taco-spiced beef and rice baked in carved orange peppers, about 75 minutes), homemade caramel apples, roasted pumpkin seeds from your carving pumpkin and cinnamon sugar pumpkin muffins. For a party table, add fudgy brownies and chocolate-dipped crispy rice treats. Roasted pumpkin seeds keep for up to a week, so you can make them ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an easy dinner before trick-or-treating?
Stuffed pepper jack-o'-lanterns are filling and fun for kids to help carve, and they take about 75 minutes from start to finish. If you are short on time, air fryer chicken bites are ready in about 22 minutes.
How do I roast pumpkin seeds from a carving pumpkin?
Pull the seeds away from the stringy pulp, rinse them and dry them very well, then toss with a little oil and salt and roast on a baking sheet until golden and crisp. Dry seeds roast evenly; wet ones steam.
Which Halloween treats can I make ahead?
Roasted pumpkin seeds keep for up to 1 week in an airtight container and pumpkin muffins for up to 3 days, and brownies and crispy rice treats can be made the day before. Caramel apples are best eaten within a few hours, or refrigerated once the sticks are in.
