Your Halloween Treats Will Shine On Insta With These Spookilicious Captions

Halloween is your holiday, and you’ve had your sights set on All Hallows' Eve since Nov. 1 of last year. Or even Oct. 31st, if you’re being honest. To say that you’re well prepared for this year’s festivities would be an understatement at best: You planned out your DIY costume months ago and while everyone else might’ve been fixated on pumpkin spice since September hit, you’ve been busy furnishing your space with ghoulish decor and watching all the spookiest shows Netflix has to offer. You’ve pretty much thought of everything... except the Instagram captions for the homemade Halloween treats crisping in the oven or cooling in your fridge right about now.

Important as it may be to don the costume of your dreams — or your nightmares, depending on the vibe you’re going for this year — you won’t be crowned host with the most if your guests come hungry and leave with an empty stomach. Sure, you could string together some kitschy party bags filled with the goodies like dark chocolate Kit-Kats, Justin’s Dark Chocolate Cashew Butter Cups, and Unreal’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Gems, but your friends are going to want to snack on something while they sample your signature witch's brew. You’re not one to skimp out on the sweetest holiday of the year, right? While others have been stressing about their group costume, or cheesy couples costume, you have been stocking your pantry with all of the baking essentials to make an Instagram-worthy treat that will have your friends begging for more. And with that, you’re going to need a killer caption to get those double-taps.

As you’re whipping up your signature homemade Halloween treats like caramel apple pops or spider web bean dip, post a pic to Instagram, and caption the photo with any of these clever Instagram captions for your homemade treats that’ll entice anyone who dared RSVP “maybe” to attend. And hey, even if they aren’t homemade, we won’t tell anyone.
