The weather is starting to cool down and mornings are misty and creepy. Leaves are starting to change colors and suddenly stores are overrun by pumpkin spice foods. That can only mean one thing: Fall is here! Time to get in that Halloween spirit by trying out these 8 Fall-themed snacks and treats.

1. Caramel Apples

This is an autumn staple plus it’s super easy! Grab some apples, some lollipop or popsicle sticks, and a bag of chewy caramels. That’s all you need! Melt the caramels in a pot on the stove or in the microwave and dip. Want to get super fancy? Coat your finished beauties in candy pieces, crushed cereal, melted chocolate or peanut butter, marshmallows… The possibilities are endless! More instructions here.

2. Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Seriously, how could you say no to only two ingredients? Mix spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree and bake. It’s that simple. For extra sweetness, smear some cream cheese frosting on top. Recipe here.

3. Homemade Butterfingers

Who doesn’t love butterfingers? And making them yourself if easier than you’d think. Melt a bag of candy corn and two cups of peanut butter in the microwave. Mix them together and freeze in a sheet. Cut those bad boys up and dip them in chocolate. Or just drop the whole pan in melted chocolate for a DIY king size. I won’t judge. See the video here.

4. Rice Krispie Ghosts

This was my favorite Halloween treat as a kid. Make rice krispie treats the way mom used to (the recipe is on the cereal box). Cut them into ghosts and add some chocolate chips or black icing for eyes and a spooky mouth. Why stop there? Get creative with shapes and toppings. Ideas here

5. Candy Corn Cups

For whatever reason, some people try to eat healthy around Halloween. For those of you with way more self control than me, keep all the fun of candy corn without all the sugar. Layer yellow fruits like mango, pineapple, or peaches underneath orange slices and top with whipped cream or yogurt. Candy corn without the guilt! See it here

6. Drappula Teeth

I’m a sucker for a good pun (hehehe) but this is adorable. Cut apples into slices, smear some peanut butter on each, and smush some marshmallows or peanuts in between two slices for a spooky mouth. Check it out here.

7. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Also a harvest necessity in my life. These can be made any way you like! After you finish carving your perfect jack-o-lantern, save the pumpkin seeds, rinse them, and coat with melted butter and the toppings of your choice. I like brown sugar, or pumpkin pie seasoning. Try salt and vinegar or Parmesan for a savory flavor. Roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes. More flavors and directions here

8. Harvest snack mix

Definitely the easiest and possibly the tastiest of all. Combine all your favorite Halloween snacks into a giant bowl and dig in! Chex Mix, M&Ms, candy corn, pretzels or popcorn, nuts, cereal, Cheez-Its, dried fruit, Reese’s cups, Bugles, Fritos, mini graham crackers, I could keep going. Pick your top five and throw ‘em in a bowl, then cuddle up and watch Halloweentown.

Half the fun of fall is all the delicious flavors and treats that come with it. Try all of these tasty treats during your horror movie marathon, or impress your costume party guests. Or just eat them all yourself, which is what I’ll be doing.
