Default Halloween Ideas

This year I'll be taking my son up to see his daddy at work on Halloween. When I went last year I took a big bowl of sandwich cookies that I'd dipped in chocolate and then decorated with spiders and ghosts. Well, I'm on the hunt for a good idea this year.

I'm looking for something fairly simple to make (remember, I have a toddler to contend with while I'm in the kitchen) and something that doesn't require a lot of time - oh, and something that's pretty pleasing to lots of people (I know I'll eat just about anything, but in an office, sometimes there are picky people).

Any ideas?

**oh, and it should probably be something that can just be picked up and carried off - not like a cake or pie that requires plates, forks, etc.

Mini devil's food cupcakes decorated - they don't take long to whip up and they can just pop them into their mouth and enjoy.

You can always bake them ahead of time, cool completely and freeze - thaw for an hour and frost when ready.

At a Halloween party (long ago) these were served and instead of frosting them - a chocolate wafer (any color can be used) and instead of melting and glazing the top, the wafers were placed on top and popped in the microwave to melt/ spread and place a Halloween candy on top.

that does sound pretty easy. I'll keep that in mind.

I've also been debating on just making up several kinds of "fall" cookies and taking a big platter of those.

dangit, if I just hadn't convinced everyone that I can cook I'd be off the hook with a bag of snickers!
