Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without edible bloody Band-Aids, ominous black poison apples and something called an alien brain hemorrhage, would it? As far as we’re concerned, when you have an excuse to make the creepiest, spookiest, downright scary treats, you take it. We’re loving all these Halloween recipes and even threw in a few healthy options to help offset the candy overload a little.
Sweet treats

Channel the evil queen from Snow White, and whip up a batch of poison apples.

4. Creepy meringue mice
