Earlier this year, I mentioned that despite blogging for years, I don’t have a ton of holiday specific recipes on this blog. At that time, I also mentioned that I decided that this year, I was going to change that.

So this week, as a part of Halloween Treats Week, I’m happy to change that. It’s not that I never blogged about Halloween recipes, it’s just that for a while, a group of us had themed Halloween parties, so instead of the typical ghosts, witches, and goblins, you got recipes that were paired with our theme – such as the Almond Brandied Pound Cake in for a Clue-themed Halloween party. (Warning: Photos need to be updated!) Plus, most schools in our area won’t take homemade sweets due to allergies, so it’s not like I was doing a lot of baking for them. But this year, I’ve got two new, traditionally Halloween, semi-homemade recipes for you this week, to help you celebrate the spooky holiday. 

First up is S’mores Ghost Brownies. A graham cracker crust, your favorite brownie recipe, and then topped with marshmallow creme and a ghost marshmallow… these brownies take a little extra time to make but are super easy. That s’mores combo is just YUM! I’ll take the chocolate-graham-marshmallow combo over plain old chocolate any day.

Recipe Notes for S’mores Ghost Brownies:

• You can use a recipe for homemade brownies or a store-bought box of brownie mix in this recipe, as long as it makes enough for a 13 x 9 inch pan. My favorite two recipes are actually this Gluten-Free Almond Dark Chocolate Brownies or these Chocolate Chunk Brownies. Both recipes would need to be doubled to use in the recipe below.
