Gothic Peeps & Ghostly Treats: Spooky Easter Snacks You’ll Love

Who says Easter has to be all sunshine and pastel fluff? If you're someone who keeps it spooky 365 days a year, this post is for you. We've cooked up some devilishly delicious snack ideas that blend the sweetness of spring with the eerie charm of Halloween. Whether you're throwing a haunted Easter brunch or just want to creep out your candy stash — we've got your treats covered.

1. Ghost Peeps

Take your average marshmallow Peeps and give them a ghostly makeover!

How-to:

Use a black edible marker or melted dark chocolate to draw spooky faces on white bunny or chick Peeps.
For extra creep factor, melt them slightly in the microwave so they look like melting spirits.

2. Blackout Chocolate Eggs

Classic Easter chocolate eggs, but make them gothic.

How-to:

Coat hollow chocolate eggs in edible black shimmer dust.
Fill them with red jelly beans, candy bones, or candy “eyeballs” so they spill open with creepy-cute surprise.

3. Bloody Bunny Cupcakes

Pastel cupcakes topped with sweet little bunnies... that look like they just escaped a horror movie.

How-to:

Use vanilla cupcakes with pastel frosting.
Add a gummy bunny on top, then drizzle with red raspberry sauce “blood.”
Bonus: Add a candy knife or use red licorice for “slashes.”

4. Graveyard Pudding Nests

Mix Easter nests with Halloween graveyards for the perfect seasonal mashup.

How-to:

Make chocolate pudding cups.
Top with crushed Oreos (grave dirt), black licorice nests, and candy eggs.
Use mini cookies as “tombstones” — write spooky names with icing like “RIP Flopsy.”

5. Resurrection Rolls… With a Twist

These sweet rolls are a classic Easter treat, but here’s how to turn them sinister.

How-to:

Make crescent rolls with a marshmallow inside (it melts while baking = empty tomb).
Dip the finished roll in a cinnamon-sugar mix dyed with a hint of red coloring for a “bloody risen” vibe.
Serve with a dramatic backstory, of course.

Bonus Tip: Spooky Candy Basket

Craft your own haunted Easter basket with black grass filler, a skull or bat plushie, candy coffins, ghost Peeps, and more. It's the perfect spooky gift for your fellow horror-loving friends (or just treat yourself!).
