October Dessert Ideas

Fall is here. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder, and leaves are changing from green to the colors of a sunset. Sandals and bathing suits are being replaced by boots and sweaters. No longer iced tea and lemonade, but apple cider and pumpkin-spiced drinks. Barbecues with hot dogs and watermelon are fading away, turning into parties with pumpkin pies and apples.

Every season has certain foods, drinks, colors, and events associated with it. Fall is filled with pumpkin flavored things, warm colors, and of course, Halloween. You may remember going trick-or-treating as a kid, dressing up in your costume for school, and getting yelled at for eating too much candy. Halloween changes as you grow older, opening up opportunities to host Halloween parties, bake goodies, and give out candy. Hosting a party can be a lot of work, but cute touches and fabulous food will make your guests say, "WOW!"

Some desserts that you could include at your party include Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins from Chesapeake Bay Crab Cakes & More. These muffins are the ultimate fall delight. Mackenzie Limited's Pumpkin Smith Island Cake and Apple Trio would also be wonderful additions to the dessert table. The granny smith apples coated in chocolate and caramel are divine. The Spooky Collection Cookies would also be a popular item for all ages. The vibrant colors and fun shapes will add a pop of fun to your party. Having kids at this party? Try the Halloween Haunted Gingerbread House. You don't have to wait until December to enjoy a gingerbread house, they can be enjoyed any time!

Having a well-stocked dessert table will make your Halloween party top-notch. What better way to take advantage of the season than by enjoying Halloween and fall foods with friends and family? And after all, who doesn't like desserts?!
