Don't be freaked! Store-bought shortcuts make it easy to assemble this outrageous dessert. Licorice chalk ($5.99/lb, economycandy.com) is perfect for making bony legs. Premade chocolate cake cut into coffin shapes add an extra-spooky touch.
It's a cinch to toss together this orange-and-black party mix that has something for everyone. Cheese crackers are deliciously salty, and chocolate-covered raisins are decadently sweet.
Add some instant scariness to any item on your table with a DIY topper. Buy spider bling from a party supply store ($5.50 for 144, orientaltrading.com), cut off the rings, and attach to a toothpick with a drop of hot glue. We topped a spiderweb cupcake but you you can stick them in anything from chunks of cheddar cheese to peeled grapes.
