The best part of these recipes is how easy they are to customize. Want a more adult magic wand? Use chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or orange zest instead of sprinkles. Don't like dark chocolate? Replace it with melted milk chocolate or peanut butter chips. Don't want to buy candy eyeballs? Use mini marshmallows and mini chocolate chips to make your own. 

 Whether they're for a Halloween party or a pre-trick-or-treating snack, they'll make everyone who tries them scream in delight.
