A Halloween dessert table is the ultimate centerpiece for your spooky celebration, packed with an array of frightfully fun treats. From eerie eyeball cookies to ghostly cupcakes, the table is filled with creative Halloween party food ideas that will delight guests of all ages.

I LOVE a good themed event. A couple times a year, my mom and I throw Pinterest inspired craft parties. So, for Halloween this year, I figured what was better than a big ol’ table full of brightly colored, absolutely delicious no-bake desserts!

Our homeowners’ association provides a pizza dinner for our neighborhood Halloween bash. We go every single year and it was a great way to see all of the kiddos in their costumes before it got dark.

I thought that a fun Halloween dessert table was the best possible way to follow a pizza party, so let’s take a look at all of the party ideas that make this sweet stop so frightfully fun!

Cover the table

First, I used an orange tablecloth to cover a six foot table. Then, I made a quick and easy ‘table runner’ by using a folded purple tablecloth placed down the middle of the table. Finally, I layered a white gauzy towel under black and white fabric with spider webs. (You can see the layers in the picture below.)

Add color and texture

Purple honeycomb balls and green paper lanterns added color and texture … they are the easiest, no stress decorations for parties and get togethers. String several together and attach them to the corners of the table and on the wall behind the dessert table.

Add the desserts

Once the table is covered and the decorations hung, it’s time to talk desserts … YIPPEE!! There are so many great Halloween treats to choose from but these are a few of my favorites:

Halloween Marshmallow Pops

Up first are these quick & easy Halloween marshmallow pops! Soft marshmallows dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles are a win at any event!

You can easily adjust the color of the candy melts and sprinkles to match the colors of your dessert bar.

Chocolate dipped donut holes

Another easy no-bake treat to make is Halloween chocolate dipped donut holes. I made these for Valentines’ Day a few years ago and decided they would be perfect to add this dessert bar with a spooky little twist!

Simply dip store bought donut holes in chocolate, add Halloween sprinkles, pop them in a mini cupcake paper and add a Halloween pick!

How cute are these?!

Vampire Juice

Your guys and ghouls will surely be thirsty after a rousing round of trick or treating … so Vampire Juice is the perfect spooky sipper!

Just fill a mason jar with red Hawaiian punch and don’t forget the bat straws! Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and you have two ingredient Vampire Floats!

Candy corn

As far as I am concerned, no Halloween party is complete without candy corn. Just fill a mini jack-o-lanterns with candy corn!

Fill a tiered stand with these cute little pumpkin guys to add some height and color to your dessert bar!

Mini Guts & Gore Parfaits

These are the perfect two or three bites … in small footed cups, layer tapioca or rice pudding (this is your guts), raspberry pie filling (this is the gore) and top with crushed up mini Oreo cookies for graveyard dirt!

These are a mini version of my Scary Berry Halloween Parfaits and they are beyond delicious, the kids especially loved these!

Mummy Truffles

Truffles are one of my favorite desserts to make and these little mummies are the absolute cutest. The eyeballs are sprinkles, making them super easy to make with a little white frosting.

Zombie Nachos ~ Halloween Dessert Nachos

Zombie nachos are the cutest and easiest Halloween dessert recipe. A big tray of these tasty dessert nachos would be a wonderful addition to any dessert table. Don’t you just love those big googly eyes?

Strawberry ghosts and zombies

Let your fruit be frightful at your next Halloween party by dipping strawberries in candy melts, adding eyes, and green sprinkles for your zombies.

You can also use an edible pen to make them look like skulls as well.

Sugar Wafer Frankenstein Cookies

These adorable Frankenstein cookies are almost too cute to eat. Luckily they start with wafer cookies and can be made in just minutes.

Witches Brew Cupcakes

Finally, these witches brew cupcakes are the finishing touch. To make them super easy you can use a box mix or even add the decorations to store-bought cupcakes.
