Start with themed cookie cutters, a few gel food colors and some Halloween sprinkles. Add a specialty pan like a skull cakelet pan if you want a showstopper.
What are easy Halloween treats to make with kids?
Cupcakes with candy eyeballs, cut-out sugar cookies with sprinkles, and chocolate pumpkins from a silicone mold are all simple and fun for kids.
