Frankenstein Salads recipe

Kids of all ages will love these fun and fruity Frankenstein faces made from rectangles of jiggly green gelatin resting on bright purple kale. Bean sprout hair, jelly bean eyes and nose, mini marshmallow bolts and a sour cream smile give this memorable monster some playful personality.

Graveyard Cake recipe

Underneath tasty "tombstones", ghosts, pumpkins, "worms" and "soil" that make this dessert a conversation piece, you'll find a delectable chocolate cake made from scratch in a few simple steps. It's a recipe I use year-round with different frostings. -Vicki Schlechter, Davis, California

Halloween. They had fun making them and also sharing
them and the recipe with their friends.

Jack-o'-Lantern Pops recipe

As Clara Coulston of Washington Court House, Ohio notes, “Your little ghouls and goblins faces will light up when you surprise them with these sweet, smiling pumpkins.” The crispy pops are ideal for school parties.
