My kids are older now, and Halloween does not take over the whole month the way it used to. There was a stretch of years when the costume was decided in August and everything we ate in October had to look like something. Those years are behind us, but the Halloween recipes stuck around, because these are the ones they always loved and still ask for.

13 Halloween Recipes

A few of these Halloween recipes became repeats because my kids remembered them before I did. If they ask for the mummy pizza or dirt pudding again a year later, I take the hint. These are the Halloween recipes that have stuck around in our house, with a mix of savory, sweet, and just enough googly eyes to make October feel like October.
