3 slices American cheese

12 hot dogs

Ingredients

Banana Ghosts

3 bananas

18 chocolate chips (both mini & regular)

Monster Apples

2 green apples

1/2 cup peanut butter

32 Sunflower Seeds

3 strawberries (sliced)

Candy eyeballs

Directions

Monster Apples

Step 1: Slice the apples into quarters and cut out the core. Then slice out a small section in the middle on the backs of each quarter. This will be the mouth opening.

Step 2: Next, spread the peanut butter into the mouth openings. Make sure to not overload them.

Ingredients

Cake Pops

3 cups crumbled cake (crumble up half of an 8onch cake layer)

1 container buttercream frosting

12 lollipop sticks

Decorations

16 ounces black chocolate discs

2 cups black sanding sugar (sprinkles)

Black licorice wheels (separated & cut into 2-inch pieces)

24 edible candy eyes

Directions

Cake Pops

Step 1: Start by prepping a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix together the cake crumbs and frosting in a bowl until combined. You may need to use your hands to mix together until a thick paste is formed.

Step 3: Once a paste is formed, roll up 12 balls with a 1-ounce ice cream scoop. Place the balls onto a baking sheet and put in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes.

Decorations

Step 1: Prep your decorations – melt the black chocolate discs in the microwave and put the sanding sugar into a bowl.

Step 2: Place a lollipop stick into each cake ball.

Step 3: Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate and then place the sprinkles on top. Make sure they’re thoroughly covered.

Step 4: Use your black licorice pieces as the spider’s legs. Dip each piece into the chocolate and stick onto the cake ball. Repeat until you have 6 legs on each cake pop.

Step 5: Finally, attach the candy eyeballs to each cake pop by dabbing on a small amount of chocolate to the back of each eyeball. Let the cake pops set completely before serving.
