Halloween Treats - Witch Fingers

Halloween is almost here. The costumes are coming together, the ghosts are swooping in, the kiddies are getting restless and there is simply no time to make fancy graveyard cupcakes or malted eyeballs. But Halloween-themed brownies and blondies are still a snap! When time is of the essence, witch fingers are a great treat to whip up, and they will certainly elicit kudos from the crowd.

These crunchy Halloween cookies have run their way back and forth across the Web, but we've come up with twists and style updates that are sure to please. Hit the jump and visit the gallery for inspiration.

Ghosts of Cupcakes Past - Feast Your Eyes

These adorable spooky cupcakes not only look the ghoulish part, but there's more to them than meets the eye -- beneath the eerie, glowing gummy-candy eyes lies a cookie dough surprise secretly nestled inside the cakes. We're positively enchanted with these cupcakes not only for their appearance but for their complex flavor layers.

Borrowing from "The Cake Mix Doctor Returns," the folks at A Baked Creation whipped up these beastly beauties using a combination of vanilla cake and instant pudding mixes, with a package of frozen cookie dough for the center. And though many cooks scoff at the use of premixed baking bases, with creatively tweaked creations like these we can't resist the extra ease. Plus, we were sold at the mere sight of the fondant ghosts floating atop the fluffy chocolate frosting.

How do you feel about boxed cake mixes?
What's not to like - they're cheap, fast and easy.118 (41.5%)
I prefer to bake from scratch, but don't mind using them as a base or in a pinch.104 (36.6%)

Punk Glow in the Dark Cupcakes

Punk Glow in the Dark CupcakesI used to love those plastic vampire teeth when I was a kid. Of course, this was before we had the technology to make them glow in the dark. They were just white. I think if I had glow in the dark ones I would have warn them all year round and not just around Halloween.

This recipe comes from CupcakeRecipe.net, and it's for Punk Glow in the Dark Halloween Cupcakes. She takes two flat-topped cupcakes, lots of icing, a jelly bean, and those white fangs to create a rather wild looking punk rock vampire cupcake. And Punk Rock Vampire Cupcake would make for an awesome band name.
