Halloween Caramel Apples
This is a great two-person job - one can coat the apples in the delicious gooey caramel then the other can roll it in Halloween sprinkles. You'll need nine wooden stir sticks or chopsticks. Any caramel left in the pot after dipping can be scraped onto greased foil, cooled and cut into squares for treats.

This playfully gory cake brings to mind tales of killing vampires with silver stakes through the heart. In this case, the heart is chocolate and the dagger a sugar cookie.



Chocolate Coffin Cake
The dollar store is the ideal source for any scary items, such as the plastic skeleton and snake we used here. Beware of low-fat ice cream because it melts quickly and crystallizes when refrozen.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Jack-o-Lantern Cake
Two Bundt cakes, one on top of the other, form a squat ball shape — perfect to mimic the shape of a pumpkin.

If you like, leave 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the Butter Icing untinted to use as teeth on the finished cake.
