Halloween party tables can end up heavy on store-bought candy, even when you want a few homemade choices. These seven recipes bring together colorful no-bake cookies and candy bark, pumpkin-spiced scones, a playful soup, and spider-topped eggs. Most are easy to portion or decorate ahead, so you can set out a mix of sweet bites and one savory option for guests and kids to enjoy.
