Spooky treats for tricksters
The Maya Kitchen shares quick and easy recipes for making your own Halloween goodies
The most thrilling time of the year is just around the corner: the hunt for the perfect costume is on, jack-o-lanterns adorn every nook and cranny, and store shelves are stocked with every kind of candy imaginable. But this year, why not take your Halloween game to the next level and whip up your own ghoulish goodies?
The Maya Kitchen shares some easy tricks for crafting spooky treats that the whole family will enjoy making—and eating!
Fans of the dark side are sure to love Halloween Molded Dark Chocolate Krispies, a perfectly balanced blend of dark chocolate and sweet, crunchy cereal. Shape and decorate these snacks to resemble your favorite villains and the neighborhood trick-or-treaters are sure to come back knocking on your door for more.
Add a shot of zest to any goodie bag with Homemade Halloween Gummies. These refrigerated treats require very little prep time and can be molded into different shapes and sizes, so you can fix up several batches of sweet and sour gummies in a jiffy.
Give a Maya favorite a twist when you use your Maya Oven Toaster Butter Cake Mix to make Halloween Purple Donuts! Dress up a batch of these easy-to-bake ube-flavored mini donuts with chocolate and candy sprinkles and brighten up any party table instantly.

Gift hunting? Here are 3 Easy Recipes you can turn into Holiday presents
If there’s a whisk, there’s a way. Whether you’re baking to give or to sell, the holiday season is a great time to showcase your skills. Baked treats make for personal and less expensive gift ideas, and a great business opportunity for aspiring bakers of all ages. So, get ready to make this Christmas the tastiest and most memorable one yet with festive holiday recipes from The Maya Kitchen.
For a kick to any Christmas spread, whip up a cheesy Jalapeño Dip. Who knew a mixture of pickled jalapeños with loads of cheddar cheese could be an excellent gift idea? Pour it in a colorful canister and chill for the dip to firm up. You can even serve it as an appetizer with nacho chips or crostinis.
The holidays wouldn’t be complete without something sweet, but how about adding a twist to your ordinary caramel syrup with the Vodka Caramel Flavored Coffee Syrup. A dash of vodka, and some coffee liqueur added to a golden brown syrup is the perfect treat for your closest friends or ninongs and ninangs.
This Christmas, it would also be fun to turn baking into a business. Why not earn a little profit out of your hard work so you can buy something special for yourself or your loved ones? The Salted Caramel Double Butterscotch Fudge Bars could be your winning recipe. With the MAYA Butterscotch Brownie Mix and some extra butterscotch chocolate chips and walnuts for toppings, you can make delicious bars of brownies to sell.
Another great idea is adding cakes, cupcakes, or crinkles to your list. Using the new MAYA Decadence Red Velvet Cake Mix you can create all kinds of desserts using a favorite flavor of many. A lineup of Red Velvet treats is definitely an excellent match to the holiday season.
