Summon spookiness in the kitchen with these cute ghost sugar cookies. They use a simple vegan sugar cookie base, and are quick and easy to make. You can add them to a dessert platter for guests to grab, or go one step further and arrange them around a haunted jelly mansion.

We tried to scare you with these Monster Energy Balls, but they’re just too adorable! Made from a medley of dates, seeds, and nut butter, they deliver energy without the sugar crash. Plus, they’re packed with protein and fibre for healthy digestion and blood flow. We recommend pairing them with our Ghost Sugar Cookies for a spookily cute dessert platter.

Our show-stopping Halloween Cake Jars are a must for adult Halloween get-togethers. Yes, the kids can have them too, but we don’t blame you if you sneak them all to yourself! 

Dip into this graveyard-inspired jumble of cookie crumble and mousse with blood-red jelly.  Don’t forget to enjoy the tasty toppings of a tombstone cookie, sugar skulls, and chewy gummy worms. Oh, and did we mention it’s completely vegan? Yup, no ghoul gets left behind!

Instead of gingerbread men, why not experiment with some different spooky shapes? We love these ginger-shaped ghosts, cats, and even mummies! Just add a drizzle of icing for the bandages and nibble away.

Nothing screams Halloween than carved pumpkins flickering in doorways. So, you might as well break the fun pumpkin flavour into your baking.

This delicately spiced soft pumpkin cake is made with natural ingredients and topped with a homemade buttercream frosting made from cashews. It’s completely vegan and gluten-free, making it the ideal option for any Halloween dietary requirements.

Capture the essence of autumn with a chai latte reimagined in dessert form. The pudding of warm spices and juicy apple keeps you cosy and comforted on spooky evenings. Not only does it taste good, but chia seeds are also bursting with omega-3 fatty acids for a healthy heart, better blood flow, and enhanced brain function.
