This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Kayla.  Congrats!

Halloween is just a few days away, and all month long we’ve been celebrating with holiday-themed crafts and recipes. Our costumes are prepped and our pumpkin is carved in anticipation of the spooky day!

If you’re looking for creative ways to transform your baked goods into eerily decadent treats, check out McCormick‘s Halloween recipes. The ideas presented on the site are easy and don’t take a lot of time. It’s amazing what can be done with a splash of color or a few drops of flavored extracts.

Here is one of their spooktacular Halloween recipes:

Black Velvet Whoopie Pies

Black Velvet Whoopie Pies
Cookies:
1 package (15 1/4 to 18 1/4 ounces) German chocolate cake mix with pudding
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons McCormick Black Food Color
3 eggs
1 tablespoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract

Jack-O-Lantern Orange Filling:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Pure Orange Extract
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Red Food Color
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Yellow Food Color

Cookies

1. Begin by preheating oven to 350°F. Beat cake mix, water, cocoa powder, oil, food color, eggs and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until moistened.  Then beat on medium speed 2 minutes.

2. Spoon 1 tablespoon of batter, 2 inches apart, onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

3. Bake 8 minutes or until cookies are puffed and spring back when touched, turning baking sheets halfway through baking. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks and cool completely.

Orange Filling

1. Beat all ingredients in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.

*To assemble the Whoopie Pies, place 1 tablespoon filling on flat side of 1 cookie. Top with a second cookie, pressing gently to spread the filling. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
