1. Deli Meat Head. Get a skull from the craft store. Wrap it with foil. Make sure it is completely wrapped and that the foil lays flat against the head. Add several layers if you have to.

2. Peanut Butter Rice Crispies Eye Balls. Delicious mini peanut butter rice crispies balls dipped in white chocolate. Let the chocolate harden and place a black or brown M&M chocolate candy in the middle for the pupil. Use red food coloring to add in veins. source |

7. Carrot Fingers. Create fingers and knuckles out of mini carrot sticks using a sharp utility knife. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes on 325 F degrees. Drizzle some strawberry jam and bake another 10 minutes. The red jam makes a red sweet glaze and also looks a bit like blood. flickr |

9. Monster Cake. This awesome cake was created using lots of cake batter, icing and ganache. Firmer cakes like brownie or pound cake are perfect for making 3-dimensional cakes. Add dowels for the neck as support and initially create the head using a round cake mold. Create cavities for the eyes, nose and mouth by sculpting the cake using a sharp pairing knife or grapefruit knife. Ice with chocolate icing liberally and randomly. For the lips add a touch of red icing for some color. flickr |

10. Dirty Ear Wax Swabs. Eeeeew!!! Another awesome idea for a disgusting Halloween treat. Stick mini marshmallows on a lollipop stick.

Twist into shape to look like cat poop and place on top of the cake. flickr |
