It's almost Halloween again, and that means it's time to bake up something a little spooky! This collection of Halloween desserts has a treat for every kind of celebration, from mummy cake pops and Halloween Oreo pops for the kids' party to a dramatic Halloween Black Forest cake for the grown-up dessert table.
Every recipe on this list is vegetarian, and there are plenty of vegan options too, like our spooky vegan Halloween cookies and easy vegan pumpkin bars. We've also rounded up a few favorites from our sister sites VegKitchen, All She Cooks and Step Away From The Carbs (including some keto-friendly treats!) so you have even more ways to celebrate.

A few fun decorating supplies go a long way with these recipes. Keep a bag of jumbo candy eyes, a jar of Halloween sprinkles and a couple of colors of candy melts in the pantry, and you can turn almost any cookie, cupcake or brownie into a spooky little monster.
A quick vegetarian tip: many store-bought marshmallows, gummy candies and some candy corn are made with gelatin. If you're decorating with them, look for gelatin-free versions to keep your Halloween treats vegetarian.
