Chef John states, "Spooky Halloween treats may not frighten, yet meringue often intimidates. These bone and ghost designs aim to eliminate that fear." Rest assured, under Chef John's guidance, you'll create a glossy, light, and delicious meringue that retains its shape beautifully when piped.

These ghostly ice cream sandwiches begin with chocolate chip cookies. "I crafted a screaming ghost design using chocolate for these Halloween treats, just for a clever pun," shares Chef John.

After the zombie meatloaf, let’s ease the tension. Chef John's pumpkin seed spread strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and savory, making it remarkably versatile, according to Chef John.

According to Chef John, pumpkin cinnamon rolls are "the least frightening Halloween treat! While they may not be scary, they are undeniably delicious. "These are the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had," the chef exclaims. "A crucial element is a soft, sticky dough. Add only enough flour for the dough to gently pull away from the bowl while kneading."

The fright level hinges on your sculpting skills. Fortunately, this cheese spread is easy to prepare and can be tailored in myriad ways. Moreover, the prosciutto 'flesh' only requires a few ounces of meat, making it budget-friendly. Chef John mentions, "This pairs wonderfully with any bread or crackers, but the black sesame crisps were exceptional."
