While most major holidays involve indulging in some yummy desserts, Halloween definitely “takes the cake” for the holiday with the most sweet treats! It’s even built into the biggest Halloween custom- “trick-or-TREAT”! But there are so many more Halloween treat options than just candy. Check out these 13 Halloween Treat Ideas I pulled together from some of my sweet and talented friends! From cupcakes to cookies to popcorn to drinks (and even a few healthy options!) – there’s something here for every taste!
