Cute Vampire Cupcakes (McCormick Giveaway)
***WE HAVE A WINNER!!!***
Congratulations, Emily!! You are the winner of a baking kit from McCormick.
Please contact me at cookbookqueenblog (at) hotmail (dot) com to claim your prize!!
When I was a kid, vampires didn’t look like Edward Cullen or Bill Compton.
They weren’t glamorous, handsome, and rich (seriously, have you noticed that all vampires are rich nowadays???).
They looked like the Count from Sesame Street, or Eddie Munster, with widow’s peaks and pet bats. They lived in musty castles with cobwebs and wore black capes with red lining.
In other words, they were very obviously VAMPIRES.
I mean, I’m all for the new hottie vampires, but I kind of miss the old-school organ-music-in-the-background vampires of my youth. So when McCormick sent me a Halloween baking kit, I decided to put it to use making a batch of cute, child-appropriate vampires.
The vampires are super simple to put together, and are pretty flexible as to what type of candy you use.
I started off by dipping a lollipop stick in a bit of melted white almond bark and sticking it to the back of a Nilla Wafer. You’ll need one for each cupcake. Once they candy is set and the sticks are firmly attached, dip the front of the cookie in melted white almond bark. Then add the face:
For the eyes, I used green confetti sprinkles with a black sugar pearl attached, but any small, round candy would work. The hair is cut from a flattened Tootsie roll (if you buy the big ones and flatten them, you can get several triangles from one piece), and the mouth is a red DOT, cut into round slices and then each slice was cut in half again to form half-circle mouths. I got 6 mouths from one piece of candy. The teeth are a white Airhead, cut into small strips.
I usually use a clean pair of kitchen scissors for cutting my candy. It’s so easy, just like crafting or scrapbooking, but with candy!! As long as I have some flexible candy, almond bark, and kitchen scissors, I can make just about any cupcake topper.
For the “blood” that is on the fangs and dripped on the frosting, I just mixed a bit of red McCormick food coloring with a few Tablespoons of corn syrup.
Stick the completed Vampire in a frosted cupcake and you’re done!! I garnished mine with sprinkles and a few drops of the “blood”.
See how easy? You could totally do that.
And today, you are in luck because not only did you get a cute cupcake idea, but McCormick wants to send a Halloween Baking Kit to one of my readers!!
The kit includes:
McCormick assorted food color, black food color, and vanilla extract
Cupcake Liners
Silicone Baking Sheet
Le Creuset Spatula
Mu Kitchen Oven Mitt
Assorted Halloween Candy

My favorite Halloween treat is Candy Corn. Just seeing them out every Autumn makes me think of Halloween. Last year, I even bought the Hershey Kisses Candy Corn flavor (It did not taste to me like candy corn, though)
I love candy corn. I am so addicted to it.
The first signs of Halloween I buy one bag of candy corn and eat the whole thing by myself usually. Sad I know. By then, I’m sick of them and never have to buy a bag again till next year! Would love to win-THANKS!

I seriously love anything twizzlers i can’t turn down a good pull and peel!

Candy corn! But I like to make it myself! SO GOOD!
I love candy corn, but I always hunt out the Mounds from my son’s trick or treat bag!!
Ummm.. hello… I love all Halloween treats :)
I know it’s getting closer to Halloween when I see the candy aisle grow in the grocery stores, and I immediately make a bee-line for my favorite candy…. Candy corn1!! :D
Caramel apples, caramel rice crispy treat…pretty much anything with caramel! :)
sooooo cute! And my favorite halloween treat is reese’s pumpkins! YUM!
My favorite Halloween treat is anything pumpkin flavored! (I guess that is technically a “fall” treat though…. ) So my favorite (for-real) Halloween treat is fun sized candy because I can eat a whole bag of them and feel like I didn’t really eat that much candy. hahaha total mind trick.
Candy Corn!
Those cheap candies in the black and orange wrappers. They are the BEST thing ever.
These are so freaking cute! My favorite Halloween treat is simply the little candy bars. I eat ‘em up like nothing else!
My favorite is Chic-o-stix! I am 100% oldschool!
Candy Corn M & M’s are my new favorite treat!
Do I have to pick just one candy? I love them all! Every year it seems like there is always one that I can’t get enough of, and it’s different every year. I think last year it was Baby Ruths. This year who knows.
My favorite Halloween treat is caramel apples Yumm
I love Kit Kats!
Reese’s peanut butter cups!! Always and forever :)
My favorite holloween candy would be tootsie rolls. I still have fond memories of my sister and I trading dum dums for her and toosie rolls for myself.
All candy is my favorite on Halloween, but a real treat was when my neighborhood did “boo bags”. You would fill a bag with goodies and leave it on someone elses stoop in your neighborhood with the poem that had directions for them to make the boo bag for another house. After a while, every house in the neighborhood would get a bag, and it really brought the neighbors together, and was really exciting.
My favorite Halloween candy has to be wax lips! Just love them and it is the only time of year that I do not feel siily wearing them
i love all the little mini candy bars!
Candy pumpkins have to be my favorite. I love all things chocolate, but I always pick up a bag of the candy pumpkins to savor for the holiday.
I always have to sneak the kit kat bars out of the trick or treat bags…shhhh, don’t tell anyone.
take 5 bars or twix! those are the best candies.
I know they’re pure sugar, but the candy pumpkins rock, I can’t resist, every year I buy at least one bag, and I don’t have kids as an excuse to buy candy for, your cupcakes are terribly adorable btw! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
Those cupcakes are super cute!! I think some of my favourite Halloween treats are also cupcakes. I’ve been making Halloween themed cupcakes every week, since the end of September, LOL. My favourites so far are my witch’s hat cupcakes. So elegant!! As for Halloween candy, I’m all over those mini chocolate bars…. especially Snickers!!
Candy corn mixed with peanuts. Yum
You’re so creative!
Cuteness.
Love Reese’s peanut butter cups….if I can hide a few from my husband.
Rice krispy treats!!!
I love Halloween Peeps, either microwaved a little to make them grow or hardened by poking the package a few days before eating. Reese’s Cups in pumpkin shapes are irresistible too!
Favorite halloween treat: Chocolate & Caramel covered apples, yum!
I absolutely LOVE honey crisp apples with caramel. There’s a caramel dip my Grandma makes that is out of this world! I also love apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, hot chocolate, and hot apple cider.
Are you willing to share the recipe, Sami? The last caramel apples I made were too chewy.
To many to choose from…
I love (LOVE) DOTS and the best part is they are available all year.
I always loved finding the rare pack of Bottlecaps in my Halloween loot =)
I love to make huge carmel apples with my kids. I buy all kinds of candy and melt chocolate. I make carmel, dip the apples and let my kids have fun. We share with friends :)
Halloween isn’t Halloween without candy corn. I have to eat it section by section, too. White tip, then orange middle, then yellow end, to prolong my enjoyment. :)
Candy corn or anything pumpkin!!!!!!!! However,a pumpkin cupcake in with kit would be awesome!!
I LOVE the cupcakes they are sooo cute! My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn!
Candy corn and nearly anything pumpkin flavored! The pumpkin frozen custard from Shake’s is definitely top on my list!
As a kid my fave was popcorn balls that a family friend would make and pass out to us — they were amazing and just perfect.
Now my fave treat is candy corn
Love Mary Jane peanut butter candies and all things fun sized! Favorite to make…iced cookies!
We always make sugar cookie ghosts with red hot eyes. It’s so simple but something we’ve done since I was a kid. Brings back great memories!
My fave Halloween candy is Baby Ruth! I live in an apt and don’t get trick-or-treaters. So, I always make sure my Dad buys some Baby Ruth for their trick-or-treaters but saves some back for me. :)
I love anything with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice…cookies, cakes mixes…I add them to everything I bake…I’m the Forrest Gump of pumpkin stuff…
The cheap candy in the black and orange wrappers. Screams childhood to me!
It’s ALL about the candy corn!
I really like gourmet caramel apples- like the ones dipped in caramel, white chocolate, and cinnamon sugar. Yummy. I also really love apple cider and hot chocolate, and pretty much anything sweet….
Gotta be candy corn!
Reese’s peanut butter cups
candy corn, obviously, but also bottle caps!
Well, I do love candy corn, but I’ve made chocolate pumpkin brownies for the last two years and will do so from now on. So excellent tasting.
My favorite Halloween candy are the pumpkin peeps!!
It has to be caramel apples!!
My favorite treat is caramel popcorn balls! So good!
The mini chocolate bars that make me think I’m being good but really being bad when I eat half the bag…
I love love love the fun size Heath Bars!
I love the old school vamps too. As far as treats go, I love the gummi life savors, kit kats, twix and my sugar cookies.

Candy corn! Yum!
Pumpkin Patch Brookies
Basically brownie layer/cookie layer/pumpkin cookie layer ;)

My favorite treat is candy corn but sneak some from my kids candy stash :)
Flavored tootsie rolls are the runner up I love them !
I love candy corn! But not the gross “dark” looking mixes where they have weird chocolate flavored candy corn because we all know that the orange parts of the candy corn are the by far the best. (Hello, pumpkins anyone??) YUM.
I look forward to the candy corn/ pumpkins and the Carmel apple suckers that I can only find in the stores this time of the year.
Love, love, Russell Stouffer’s chocolate covered marshmallows, pumpkin shaped!
My favorite Halloween candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins!
Fun, Fun! I love me some “assoerted halloween candy” like Whoppers!
As a kid, there was a house on the other end of my small town where the elder couple gave out home-made popcorn balls. And we would all make sure to hit that house up first thing. :)
I love tootsie rolls!!
I love 100 grands! And i love to male pumpkin breads!
My fave Halloween treat is small boxes of Canadian Smarties. They are like m&m’s only better.
I love making popcorn balls and carmel corn!! YUM-O!
I’ve been on a pumpkin kick for about a month now. However, the candy that I associate with trick-or-treating and that I’m craving right now is Pixie Stix. Gotta love when it’s ok to just eat your sugar straight.
My favourite halloween candy is a cookie that my Mum would make called Witches Fingers. Her awesome short bread shaped like a finger with an almond slice attached with red food gel to look like fingernails. Looks so good and tastes awesome too!
I love making muddy buddies this time of year
How stinking cute are those vampire cupcakes!! LOVE!! My favorite treat at Halloween is the Reese’s Pumpkins and Jelly Belly Candy Corn. Yum! Thanks for the chance to win! :)
I throw a Halloween party every year and my favorite part is making new things every year to wow the guests:) I would say my favorite is the cake I made that looked like a pumpkin but no one ever ate any of it because the thought it was too pretty- so I retired it (too much work not to be eaten) This little kit would be super helpful!!!! Thanks so much!
My favorite treats in the fall always have pumpkin in them; cookies, cakes, bread, whatever. Pumpkin is the best!
I love candy corn rice crispie treats…mmm..super good!
reeses!!
Carmel apples are my absolute favorite!!
Sour bats are the best!!!
Hey! I just started reading your sight a few weeks ago and I love it. Great job! Your treats are always so amazing. I am obsessed with baked goods and sugar so your sight is perfect. My favorite Halloween candy would have to be those bags of mixed mini candy bars. I love eating those little candy bars and pretending that it’s almost healthy since the portions are so small.
My Halloween go to is graveyard brownies. They are super easy and cute. Make you favorite boxed brownie. Forsting with chocolate icing. Break apart Hershey candy bars, write RIP on them with white icing and stick them in the brownie. Tint shredded coocnut with green food coloring for grass, sprinkle on brownies. Add a candy “corn” pumpkin and you’re set. Love it. My mom taught me how to make these…that’s why they’re my fave. :)
Halloween Kit-Kats! They are orange colored white chocolate and I sweat they taste better than the plain white chocolate ones!
love your vampires. My favorite Halloween treat are pumpkin scones, I make them regularly from Sept through Dec. Fav candy bar….100 Grand, never tire of those.
I love just about every halloween treat, but every year I end up making graveyard cupcakes, which are mint cupcakes with mint frosting and crushed up oreos (to look like dirt) and a grasshopper cookie cut to look like a tombstone. Always fun and easy :)
picking a favorite store-bought halloween candy is like picking a favorite child. as for homemade treats however, my mother’s donuts would win HANDS-DOWN!
I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.
bite-size Snickers!
My favorite Halloween treat is candy corn! :)
I LOVE the Reese’s punpkins and pretty much any candy that is pumpkin/bat shaped ;)
Hello!
I LOVED the Munsters when I was little! (Horrible nit-pick alert!: Eddie was a Werewolf though… Lily & Grandpa were Vampires, though…) I loved Lily Munster the most – I wanted to be just like her when I grew up! Now I love Eric and Pam the most… (I’m NOT a Twilight girl though… or a huge fan of Bill…)
We don’t really do Halloween in NZ, but my favourite candy is… Starbusrt Gummy Fruits… I’ve been known to eat them until I get sick…
Many loves!
My favorite Halloween candy is Reeses! But I love making all kinds of homemade Halloween goodies :)
Toffee apples!
So I have a few, or more then a few but really I can’t decide!
#1. Candy Corn, of course
#2. Reese’s pumpkin’s – come on who doesn’t love those
#3. Caramel Apples…mmm
#4. Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses, whoever thought of those is a genius
Okay thats all…better go before I think of more!
My favorite Halloween treat is chocolate especially Mr. Goodbars!
I’m ALLLLLLL about caramel anything! It has been our tradition ever since I was informed that I was too old for Trick-or-Treating, that on halloween, we get to dip caramel apples and drizzle and top them with whatever halloween candy we can get our hands on. This is something I enjoyed more than being out Trick-or-Treating anyway :) Your posts always make me smile, and I have tried several of your cute ideas and I just L-O-V-E them! Thanks for always making me smile and inspiring me to be all crafty!
Those HUGE chewy spree/sweet tart candy thingies, the ones that come individually wrapped and about the size of a silver dollar…yeah those are a MUST HAVE for every Halloween!
Have to have…will probably buy later today…when the stores open.
Mmmmmmm….
I love the autumn mix candy corn. That kind includes little cider jugs, yellow haystacks, and little pumpkins! YUM :-)
Candy corn!!!!
Candy corn, caramel popcorn, marshmallows, chocolate, etc. I like all candy not only during the 31st of October, but throughout the year. The good thing about Halloween is that the candy is all free! :)
It’s a toss up between pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (whipped up a batch yesterday!), OR whoopie pies OR Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
I love anything chocolate, leftover in my Trick or Treat bowl! I buy my favorite mini-chocolate bars each year and always make I have an extra bag stashed for leftovers :)
My favorite halloween treat is candy apples!
My favorite Halloween treat would have to say my homemade pumpkin bars with cream cheese icing. Yum, yum
ColleenB.
my favorite treat that i might find in my kids halloween bags (if they don’t hide them on me) are twix and kit kats – yummmmmmmm! but, the treat that i would make every year for my kids classroom parties were rice krispy treats on a stick and then decorated to either be pumpkins or monsters. this year i’m changing it up and making your witches hat cupcakes! i can’t wait!!!
With having a 5 year old, I have a renewed love for Halloween. He and I have so much fun deciding what to name all the food for our Halloween Party. Every year it gets a little scarier. He and I love making caramel apples together and I think the party goer kids love decorating them even more. (and I’m totally stealing your idea for “blood”. ;-) Thanks for all of your fun ideas!
I love, love candy corn!!!, caramel apples andmy new fav M&Ms put out a white choclate candy corn M&M!!ohhh my god are they good. If you have’nt tried them you must get a bag!!Only place I could find them were Walmart. Love your sight
There is nothing like popcorn balls and carameled apples.
I love popcorn balls!!!
My favorite Halloween treats are the candy cookies that I make with everything I have left in my treat bowl.
Homemade caramel apples!

Homemade caramel apples and anything chocolate
CANDY CORN!! every year i buy it, eat half a bay (ok a whole bag) , then swear i will never eat it again!!!

The best thing about Halloween is the candy! You can eat it, bake with it, steal it from your kids… (Not that I do that or anything!!)
I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
I looove candy corn and those candy pumpkins. Yum. On Halloween I like to bake a vanilla cake (dyed orange) and frost it with vanilla icing (also dyed orange) and decorate it like a pumpkin. Simple and cute, and yummy! Hope I win!
I would LIKE to say that my favorite Halloween treat is caramel apples. But that would be a lie. The truth is…I just like the caramel.
My favorite halloween treat is popcorn balls.
TWIX!
halloween peeps.
I think my favorite treat is my niece and nephew’s candy :) They always have so much left when I visit they don’t mind if I take a few now and again…and again…
One glorious year our favorite Halloween candy was inside out Reese’s peanut butter cups, but they haven’t been available since!
Kit Kats. That’s all. Just Kit Kats. Thanks!
Absolutely love candy corn and I use it to decorate EVERYTHING at Halloween! Love your vampires!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and more Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
I buy the cheapest candy at WalMart , put it into cute treat bags and get ready to hand them out. I love Halloween.
My favorite Halloween treat is candy corn.
I love ANYTHING with pumpkin and those black and orange peanut butter kisses.
Smarties!!! That is the ONLY time I buy them in the big bags. Thank you McCormick!
wait – don’t give my family away! :( ;) (we’re McCormicks…… hehehehe)
My favorite bought halloween treat? CANDY CORN M&Ms…. have the ladies over at Our Best Bites to thank for that!! :P
My favorite baked or home-made halloween treat? Caramel apples! YUM!
My favorite Halloween treat is mini Twix. I never buy them except for Halloween, I trick myself into thinking it’s ok to eat them because they are mini. Too bad I end up eating an entire bag.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. My eldest son hated them so it was SCORE! for me when I took him trick or treating and he got them. Now my youngest son LOVES them so I go hungry (though its probably better for my waist line!)
I love MILK DUDS!!!!!!
Smarties and KitKats are my weakness at Halloween. But last year I made Smores’ on a stick for our Harvest Festival at church…they are pretty close behind!!!
I am addicted to Reese’s Peanut Butter cups! I buy the mixed bag of candy for the trick-or-treaters and those never seem to make it to the bowl. And don’t forget the mini Snickers! Happy Halloween!
I really like those pupkin candy corn things.
I love milky ways! I could eat the whole bag myself!
Caramel apples… Candy Apples though if I can find them!!! YUM
Oreos. I love the black and orange!!!
I love those Peanut butter taffys. You know the ones in the orange and black wrappers that kids always hate? I’m one of the freaks that keep them in business.
I love a good caramel apple but popcorn balls are a close second!
I love pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and twizzlers.
Sweetpeonies07 @ gmail
Pumpkin Pie :) Love your site
I love anything chocolate!!!! Can’t wait to try some of your cupcakes!!! Great site!
Mini kit kat’s and mini snikers!!!
Hmm, it’s tough to pick just one favorite since I love everything Halloween! But Caramel Apples are probably up there pretty high on the list!
Thank you!
My favorite treat is definitely pumpkin seeds. We always save the seeds after carving pumpkins :)
The other Halloween treats are things I eat year round :P
Dots, I love them! I will share everything else but dots. Lol
Candycorn is the best Halloween treat.
I love the Child’s Play mix that has the tootsie rolls, tootsie pops, dots and such in it. I never buy those things individually throughout the year, but I often have to buy two of those bags for Halloween–1 to hand out and 1 for me! :)
Anything chocolate and peanut butter………….gotta be Reese’s peanut butter cups.
I have to say Milk Duds – just the perfect amount in those little snack-sized boxes!
I like caramel apples and Butterfingers!
I’m a HUGE fan of caramel candy corn…and mallowcreme pumpkins!
My favorite are the vanilla tootsie rolls! I get a giant bag every year.
uber cute! My favorite halloween candy is Candy Corn M&M’s for the new flavor and my old stand by is Reeses Peanutbutter cup in the shape of a pumpkin. Who can resist such cute things?
Decorated Halloween sugar cookies!!
Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! So good
Candy Corn Pumpkins!!! seriously I can’t stop eating them!
But whatever happened to the good classic candy we trick or treated for as kids. I take my kids trick or treating and they don’t have to worry about me eating their candy because it’s all weird and gross now, for the most part I don’t have to worry about them eating it either because they think it’s weird and gross. Bring back the classics people!!
I have to say growing up I was terrified of vampires, werewolves, etc. I’m obsessed with them as an adult, but I agree they were so not what they are today!
Definitely Candy Corn, it is fun to eat and fun to decorate with too!
My favorite Halloween treat, it’s a toss up between pumpkin whoopie pies with marscapone filling and caramel popcorn balls.
Yum.
Wait, darn, now I’m hungry…….
I love candy pumpkins. Yummmm.
I would have to say that Snickers are my favorite halloween candy…I’ve always gone through my kids bags and stolen at least half of them. (and then my husband and I fight over those)
=)
i lovee having candy corn at this time every year. and apple cider (:
Milky Way candy bars and Rice Krispie Treats! :)

Candy corn & I eat each color seperatly (I’m weird, I know)
My favorite Halloween treats are candy corn and Reese’s pumpkins!
My favorite treat is candy corn mixed with peanuts….its like eating a payday candy bar!
My mother would always make Butterscotch Krispies for us at Halloween, and I make them for my family now. They were made of Rice Krispies, butterscotch morsels and peanut butter. My mouth is watering!
I buy candy corn every year plus a bag for later I love them and the last few years I like them with mixed nuts. Yummy

Hey there! Happy Monday! My favorite Halloween treat is an oldie but a goodie – CANDY CORN! I can eat bags of them! :-)
Have a great day,
Tashaa’
Reese’s Pumpkin Shaped Cups. How sad is it that I get snookered by Reese’s at every holiday by buying the holiday shape of each one. Valentine hearts, Christmas trees and I swear if they made turkeys for Thanksgiving and 4 Leaf Clovers for St Patty’s Day, those would be my faves too. (I think it’s because there’s more peanut butter in them)
The mini coffee crisps and aeros wete always my favourite treat to get when trick-or-treating!
cool! i love peep ghosts and pumpkins :)
Candy corn!!! And pumpkin bagels, pumpkin spice coffee. pumpkin pie ( I’m sure you all get it… anything pumpkin!)
My favorite Halloween treat is Reese’s peanut butter cups or anything chocolate. ;)
I just love the excuse to buy all my favorite candies in cute mini sizes! Three Musketeers, Peppermint Patties, Hershey bars…yum yum yum.
I’m with “success along the weigh”, I LOVE Reese’s PB cup pumpkins. They have the right ratio of peanut butter to chocolate (more than just the regular cups) and I can’t resist. Moderation is not in my vocabulary when it comes to those puppies. :)
candy corn is my weakness.
I love making spider web sugar cookies!

<3 Melina
Found a new one that I am now addicted to M&M White Chocolate Candy Corn…love it! Cant wait to make some cookies or something with them.
My favorite thing I used to get when trick or treating was homemade donuts. An elderly lady made hundreds of these to pass out to all the kids in our neighborhood. I don’t have a favorite right now~hate candy corn & chocolate is not limited to Halloween; I eat it all year long.
My favorite Halloween treat was always the puffed rice balls that my neighbor gave out every year.
All fun sized chocolate candy bars could probably be tied for my favorite Halloween treat, but lately I’ve been making a pretzel mix of pretzel sticks, dark chocolate M&Ms and candy corn. It’s awesome with my sandwiches at lunch or just to nosh on.
My favorite Halloween treat is Almond Joys candy. That was always my favorite candy from trick-or-treating as a child
My favorite treat is candy apples.
my favorite is candy corn! i buy about 3 bags to hoard and tide me over until the following fall. it’s SO good and cute and reminds me of fall!
My favorite are caramel apples….or anything my granddaughter wants to share from her Trick or Treat bag! :-)
I don’t know if it’s candy, but it is a treat. I LOVE caramel apples!! Especially the red caramel ones with nuts. I eat these even when it ISN’T Halloween. I think Halloween just gives me an excuse to go overboard with them.
My favorite treat is rice crispy treats covered in caramel and chocolate – YUM!
I love Candy Corn!!!
My favorite Halloween treat has got to be candy apples!
Any kind of Halloween candy….I’m REALLY not picky!! :)
First, i love the pumpkin shaped Reese’s PB Cups (okay, they’re shaped for every holiday… but I do REALLY love them). But my favorite treat are the pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies my grandma makes with M&Ms for eyes. Yum!
Caramel Corn! I am DETERMINED to make it for my kids this year :D Welcome to candy-heaven, kiddos! lol
I haven’t seen them around for a while, but Caramel Apple lollipops!
Harvest Pumpkins, from Brach’s, like candy corn, but pumpkins. Hubby has purchased 2 cases of them so we have them maybe for 6 months lol….Also liking those new Candy corn M&M’s they have out this year. Great give away!!
We love caramel apple lollipops and basically every kind of candy you can imagine!
My favorite halloween treat is hot apple cider!
Candy corn. I go crazy the day after halloween buying all of it on sale : D
I love candy corn, but I have to say that Halloween is the only time I don’t feel guilty buying the jumbo bags of mini Kit Kats and Three Musketeers. Although I usually have to wait until the week of Halloween to buy the candy or my husband will eat it all!
Popcorn balls! Or anything from a trick-or-treat bag. =]
love the Reeses pb cup pumpkins! Or the snack mix made with m&ms, peanuts, and candy corn!
Popcorn balls and candy corn are some treats that I love and only have at this time of year!
Homemade donuts fried in the neighbor’s garage!
Anything with pumpking and cream cheese is my favorite – cupcakes, rolls, pie, or cake.
Love all your great ideas. So fun!
My favorite is Carmel apples
I like the lil’ hershey’s mini’s mmmmmm
We have a lot of hot dog mummies for dinner in October. Also like to use bundt cakes to make a pumpkin cake at least once too.
I have an unhealthy obsession with candy corn. Seriously….I had some with my breakfast. (Sigh!)
My favorite candy to eat are Take Five bars. It’s the only time of year I really eat them for whatever reason…
Reeses or Snikers were always my favorite thing to get!
Hands down favorite Halloween candy would be Kit Kats!
Anything chocolate!! Molten lava cake? Done!
My favorite Halloween candy treat is candy corn, peanuts and M&M’s. In college, I really only liked the candy corn and peanut combo and would sift through the mix my roommate’s mom would send us, picking out my favorites. My roommate was not happy to come home to a jar of just M&M’s!
Kit kat bars !
Halloween Kit Kats and the Bat Dots! I love Halloween, but these two candies are definitely high up on the list to what I look forward to!
Candy corn and peanuts mixed together….yum!
I know there are a lot of haters out there, but I LOVE candy corn.
For some reason, watermelon jolly ranchers and brown M&Ms always remind me of Halloween when I was little.
Candy corn and caramel apples!!!
My Mom always made caramel popcorn balls for our Halloween party and now I make them. You cannot have Halloween in my house with out them :O)
Every year it is the same with those gosh darn Reeses Peanut-butter Cups
Halloween Check List
1. Buy candy early so the selection is good.
2. Taste the candy to make sure it’s fresh.
3. Buy more candy to replace what you ate.
4. Make sure replacement candy is just as good.
5. Buy a couple of more bags, but that is it –no more!
6. Aaaahhh! It’s Halloween and you have no candy!
7. Turn off the lights and act like no one’s home.
8. Repeat steps next year.

My favorite Halloween treat is Candy Apples. Not caramel apples but the red shiny candy kind. I love them and they are so hard to find! If I could just get over my fear of the candy thermometer I could make them myself.
Candy apple lollipops
caramels…I’ve got an open bag in my cupboard right now.
I love caramel apples but I can always go for pumpkin bread. Both remind me of fall and I wait every year for them. Yum!
Reese’s Peanut butter Cups!
Candy Corn is always one of my favorites! And caramel corn!
I love to get candy corn!! I don’t eat all myself but I can’t think of a better candy that screams halloween!!
SIDE NOTE: I absolutely LOVE your piping on all your cupcakes! So high and fluffy!
Candy Corn will do it for me.
pumpkins!!! =))
I love the candy corn pumpkin things. But I also love those chewy peanut butter things that come in the orange and black wrappers? I don’t know what those are called and I know they’re like candy corn – you either love them or hate them. But I loooove them. :-D
Candy Corn is my all time favorite!!!!!
I remember wax lips – big red ones! You could put them in your mouth to wear and chew them up too!
I love to get the carmel candy corns & mix with salty peanuts!
M&M’s coated candy apples! YUM!
Candy corn! It’s the only time of the year that I get it. :)
Mmmmm, my favorite Halloween candy is the Reese’s Pumpkin Shaped Cups!!!! Soooo good because since the pumpkin shape is so large that means there is going to be more peanut butter than chocolate. Soooo goood – that’s it! – I’m buying one on my lunch break!!!! :)
Candy corn. I hide the bag so I don’t have to share.
My all time fave halloween candy is most certainly those mellowcreme pumpkin candies…you know, the ones that are sort of like candy corn. Mmmm….LOVE them! Of course, anything fun size is just so tempting, I mean it is FUN sized, how can I resist!?
I love baking anything pumpkin flavored around Halloween time, but love eating Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Pumpkins :)
Definitely the candy corn pumpkins!!!
I love some POPCORN BALLS! I hate it that they only sell them this time of year!
Pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies and pumpkin anything!
Every year I make pumpkin cupcakes. Oh my gosh, they are good! A Halloween without them is no Halloween at all!
Caramel apples are my favorite and technically they are good for you because they contain fruit. lol
My favorite Halloween treat is caramel apples. I like them best when they are dipped in white chocolate and rolled in cinnamon and sugar. Mmmmmmmmmm
I use to love the orange Kit-Kats with the orange colored white chocolate on the outside and chocolate inside… I haven’t been able to find them for a few years though :( Probably a good thing though, I could eat a whole bag in less than an hour!
I love Hershey Miniatures and Kit Kats! Yummo!! :o)
I love candy corn this time of year. (who doesn’t) But to make it even better I will add it to rice krispy treats, and maybe even put it in a Halloween mold to make it cute also.
I loved getting snickers, butterfingers, or the flavored tootsie rolls for my halloween candy each year!
I seriously love sugar cookies in the shapes of ghosts and pumpkins. Every year my family did sugar cookies for halloween instead of christmas and it is my favorite tradition
I love Peanut M&M’s that my kids get in their trick or treat bags, and they would let me have only that one pack from the whole bag…I love that!!!
Orange rice crispy treats with candy corn all the way!
My favorite is simple, NERDS!
I love Pumpkin Reese cups – lots more peanut butter than a regular Reese cup – yum!
Homemade caramel apples and caramel popcorn balls.
I love making homeade pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and topped with a candy corn!
I love pumpkin, just about anything. Also I’m a sucker for caramel and chocolate. Yummy!!!!!
I love sweet potato and pumpkin cakes! Cookies… well just about anything including mexican candy made from pieces of pumpkin or sweet potato and has a sweet crunchy glaze
Candy Corn!!!! I can (and have) eat it until I get sick.
Candy Corn … as soon as I see it in the stores I get excited for Halloween!!
I’m a sucker for Reeses Pieces. I see one and I have to have it! Mmmm now I’m having a craving! Thanks!
My favorite Halloween treat is candy corn!
I would have to say that my favorite Halloween candy is all!
I literally make myself sick (several times) each year on candy corn and mallowcreme pumpkins. I’m like a woman possessed when it comes to the stuff…..I just can’t stop!
I just love popcorn balls. One of my super fave. =)
I love candy corn!!
Popcorn balls
I think they’re called NutterButter Ghosts. You dip Nutter Butter cookies in melted white chocolate. When they dry, you dot little eyes with black frosting. Ta-da! Thanks for the giveaway!
My fav halloween treat is Reese.
We always used to get popcorn balls when we were kids. Love them! Oh and Reese’s Cup pumpkins… for some reason, they are wayyyy better than Reese’s Cups. (Not that that stops me from eating those, too.)
We have many kinds of Halloween candies and treats that we like, but last year we found a new favorite.
On one of the blogs I found the Melted Wicked Witch candy. How adorable!! After we made them I bagged them in bags and gave them a cute little tag. The neighborhood and daycare kids LOVED them. I really like your vampire cupcakes and I have to agree about the vampires. In my day, ahem, the good looking vampire was Barnabus (sp?) Collins on Dark Shadows!! LOL
My favorite Halloween treat is defiently, Halloween Twix. Seriously they taste better small. I am so not joking!
My favorite Halloween candy are butterfingers!
My favorite Halloween treat are my special pumpkin iced cookies, with extra ginger and clove for a spicy bite!
My favorite candy is Reese’s pumpkins. mmmmmm.
Just Candy Corn!!! Plain and simple
CANDY CORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably just baking anything with pumpkin: waffles, pancakes, snickerdoodles, muffins, etc.
My favorite Halloween treat are Willy Wonka Laffy Taffy!!!
candy corn!
My favorite Halloween treat is candy dorn pumpkins.
Caramel apples are the best!
cut out frosted sugar cookies!
I couldn’t decide between my two favorites so I will just say both! My first is candy corn mixed with cashews. My grandparents always have it in every room of their house at Halloween (exaggeration :)) And the second is my mom’s homemade caramel popcorn. It is the best stuff ever….. hands down!
I love candy corn. But I make pumpkin bars the other night and they didn’t last that long. Would love to win this package. Then I could bake up some things and use what is in the box. Great items.
Thanks\

Popcorn balls with candy corn mixed into the middle followed closely by pumpkin rolls. The pumpkin spice wrapped around a light cream cheese icing filling. Crap! Made myself hungry.
An candy with coconut in it….almond joy or mounds.Yummy!
Popcorn balls!!! I love the kind made with marshmallows, not Karo syrup.
Anything with candy corn in it or on it or even beside it!
My fav halloween treat isn’t one particular candy but rather the meer fact its a smorgusboard of variety. Lil of this couple of that.
My favorite halloween treat is candy corn cupcakes!!! Yummy!!! (:
These little vampire cupcakes are adorable. +
candy corn!!!
I don’t know if I eat many halloween treats,but I love the pumpkin spice Herseys kisses. I’m not a fan of normal Hersey kisses,but these have me looking at every store. But baked items, anything with pumpkin, pumkin lattes, etc.
candy corn :)
I love the little vampire fangs….they look sharp ;) No, but super awesome with the red “blood”!
I love the Milkyway Midnights. I know they are around all year, but I can find them in mini size around Halloween.
Peeps! I love Peeps!…reminds me I need to buy some…
Candy corn!
Best halloween treat are sugar cookies
I always have to get a bag of mini Kit Kats. I must not have gotten enough while out trick-or-treating as a kid or something so now I make up for it and buy my own bags!
Apples dipped in caramel!
Can I just say that I love your blog? You come up with the cutest things. As far as my favorite halloween treat goes it is hard to decide on just one thing. I totally revert into being a child again on halloween. I have to have Nerds and Pop Rocks on halloween. On a more sophisticated note, I discovered a pumpkin chocolate cheesecake that is to die for. (Pun definitely intended.) I’m currently trying to figure out how to do mini versions of it.
I love candy corn! My favorite home treat tho is Halloween rice krispie treats! Yum yum
Well sine I am a candy fareeeeeeeak!!!! I won’t name a lllll of my favorite candy but I do love Carmel apple suckers and my all time favorite would be mello creme candy corn pumpkins… Yummmmmy!!!
Love caramel apples and Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups!!
I absolutely love Twix bars, and Reese’s cups, and Milky Way bars, and M&M’s, and…. lol you get the picture! Twix are my absolute favorite though.
Graveyard brownies. Anything chocolate!
I know they aren’t really just for halloween, but I only seem to make them them. I just love Carmel Apples, they are so easy and delish.
I freely admit I scour my girls’ trick-or-treat bags for Almond Joys, Mounds and Peanut Butter Cups!! I’m very lucky in that my girls don’t care for these, so I get them!!! I also love to make a snack mix of candy corn and dry roasted peanuts!! Sooo good…sweet, salty, crunchy, chewy!! Wonderful!
I love candy corn!
I am still in total love with those black and orange wax-paper-wrapped peanut butter taffy. Man. I want some right now.
3 Musketeers and candy corn!
Candy corn…. or Reese’s pumpkins….. or just any candy really. I mean, Halloween candy is all “fun size,” so that makes it okay, right?? :)
i love caramel apples!
I looooove candy corn! i’ll eat it until I’m sick. I also love popcorn balls (homemade.)
I love the Reese’s pumpkins. I don’t know what it is, but they do not taste the same as the cups!
I’m a HUGE fan of Sweet Tarts! The purple ones are the best…
I’m a pretty big fan of any candy really. A Halloween specific fave would probably be candy corn. Not something that I could eat all the time, but definitely have to have some each year.
I luv caramel apples. Nothing says Halloween like that!
My favorite is candy corn. I can make myself sick by eating them.
Well, that looks like fun! And my daughter loves to decorate cupcakes. I love to look at them later. And eat them.
Hmm, 100 Grand bars are always a nice treat around Halloween. I buy and bag for trick or treaters and then “forget” to put them out. Oops.
My favorite Halloween treat has to be popcorn balls. Every year I always go to the store and pick up the big boxes of them, like 25 balls. I eat them all day every day until I can’t find them any more. YUM!
I am a dark chocolate Milky Way fan all the way!!!

My favorite halloween treat was always the sugar cookies that were shaped like pumpkins and for some reason, I just assumed that pumpkins tasted like the icing, well, that was soon realized that it was not the case and I wasn’t a fan of real pumpkin until about 3 years ago and now I can’t get enough of it!
My favorite halloween candy is caramel apples!! I love these.
Dots are my absolute favorite!!!
Pumpkin bread! My mom would make it non-stop starting oct 5th for my sister’s birthday!
Ohhh I hate candy corn so bad!!! :) We do caramel apples every year for Halloween – sometimes more than once!
My favorite Halloween treat is, I hate to admit it but, its candy corn! :o) In very small doses though!
i love the reese’s in the shape of pumpkins. yum. they are somehow better than regular reese’s!
I love anything chocolate (esp dark) – as evident by the fact that we are on our third bag of Halloween candy, and still two weeks to go!
Candy Corn! I’ve eaten 4 bags already!
I love ALL halloween candy… The fact that I can stick my hand in a bowl and pick a random sweet yummy CANDY is awesome! and you dont get judged for eating as much as you want cus its halloween… chocolate… suckers… skittles… peanutbutter… chewy…hard candy… ALL candy is awesome!!!
I love, LOVE orange m’n'm’s. They’re my guilty pleasure. I also adore those little foil-covered chocolates shaped like pumpkins.
Dracula Gum Balls (that make your tongue bloody red) is my all time favorite Halloween candy.
Cinnamon apples and caramel apples remind me of Halloween as a kid. I love the idea of them more than the treat itself. And a girl can never go wrong with chocolate–chocolate anything.
Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. I just finished making to take to work tomorrow. This year I piped the cream cheese to resemble ghosts and put black eyes on them. Another year I made to look like blood-shot eyeballs. I get lots of compliments.
Favourite treat is stealing all of the kitkats from my daughters goodies when she’s asleep.
What? Don’t pretend that’s not the reason you decided to have kids.
Reese Peanut Butter Cups!
I’m obsessed with the Reese’s PUMPKIN peanut butter cups, ummm so so good!!! And just so much better than the traditional circle Reeses!!
Candy corn pumpkins are to die for. But after like 5, I get nauseous.
Love Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins! :)

cute.
I love the York peppermint patties shaped like pumpkins.
I know they are available year round, but their is something
about the cute pumpkin shape and the orange filling that makes
them adorable. I luv your blog. Keep up the great work!
