Dollop frosting on each cake. Shape into the flat head of Frankenstein’s Monster with a blunt knife.

Scatter sprinkles onto a small plate. Dip the top of each to form the monster’s ‘hair’.

For each cake, add edible eyes and black icing to create a face.

Push ½ a Cadbury Finger into the frosting on each side for neck-bolts.

Biscuit monsters

These choccy horror cookie sandwiches look as good as they taste! Here's what you will need to make them:

Roll the edges of each filled biscuit in both types of sprinkles. Finish each monster with two edible eyes.

Donut Spiders

Arrange the donuts on a serving platter.

Use a sharp knife to cut and trim the pretzels into curved leg shapes. You'll need 8 for each donut. Press 4 legs into the top of the donut either side.

Finally, using a dab of writing icing as glue, stick your edible eyes on each donut.

Spread a little of the frosting over the top of each fairy cakes.

Separate the cookies into halves until you have one round for each cake. Scrape out the cream filling. Carefully cut each biscuit into two equal semicircles.

Top each of the cupcakes with two semicircles (overlapping the edges like wings), two jelly sweet halves for ears, two eyes and two fangs.

For the blood, dab a little red jam on the fangs before serving.

Monster Mash Popcorn

Introducing monster mash popcorn. Otherwise known as gruesomely green and gooey nibbles scattered with mini mallows and scary Halloween sweets. Grab the below ingredients to make them:

Put a handful of the mini mallows into a large microwave-safe bowl with a knob of unsalted butter. Zap for 30 secs at a time until totally melted.

Drizzle over a few drops of the food colouring and mix to a uniform slime-green shade.

Add some popcorn then stir quickly to coat before the marshmallow sets. Scatter over some edible eyes and tooth sweets and more mini mallows. Allow to set for 5 minutes before serving.

Ghostly brownie bites

These grisly ghouls are a winning combination of marshmallows and mini chocolate brownies. To make them you'll need:

Use a dot of the icing to stick a mallow on top of each brownie.

Surround the base of each mallow with more white icing so it flows down the sides of the brownie.

Rice Kreepies Bars

They're a sort of crunchy, kind of chewy and a bit colourful – too bad they won't stop staring at you! To make these frightfully fun bars make sure you pick up:

Put some Krispies on a tray lined with baking paper

Zap a bar of white chocolate with a knob of butter in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.

Divide the mixture between a few bowls and add a drop of food colouring of your choice to each one.

Stir until you get a uniform shade.

Use a spoon to coat the top half of each Rice Krispies Square with the various colours of the chocolate.

Add the edible eyes to make different monster designs, pushing the eyes into the chocolate while it's still melted. Allow to set for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving plate.

black cat doughnuts

Do-nut be a scaredy-cat! These black iced doughnut treats are so easy to decorate. You'll need:

Chop the icing into small pieces. Reserve a small amount and put the rest into a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water.

Heat in the microwave, stirring every 20 secs until melted and smooth.

Take a selection of the donuts and dip half of each one into the black glaze. Put on a wire rack over a baking tray to set.

Draw whiskers onto each one using the writing icing. Attach a pink sprinkle for the nose and two edible eyes. Roll the reserved black icing into ears and stick in place with writing icing.
