Well, let’s kick off this week before Halloween with some Halloween inspired treats from the past!

This is an all time favorite. There’s nothing creepier than a doll arm popping out of a cupcake, fo’ real.

Who doesn’t love the look of caramel apples – and when they are mini? TOO. ADORABLE.

Gingerbread Haunted Mansion Library (recipe, here)

I make a lot of gingerbread houses, usually for xmas, but a few years ago we decided to make a very large one for Halloween. This one’s a library. A haunted library.

The first haunted Library was very clean. Very minimal. This one? Well, it was like Halloween barfed all over it. In a good, sweet, candy way. I loaded this thing up good, and considering that it was already over 17 inches tall, you can imagine with all the candy – this weighed a TON.
