How Many Desserts Should I Plan to Make for a Halloween Party Per Person?

You should plan to provide at least four desserts for each person. Of course, the total number of desserts made will depend on a few factors, including the size of those desserts and the number of people attending your Halloween party. It is better to have extra for your guests to take home with them at the end of the night than to run out of desserts for your guests to eat. If you run out of desserts before the end of the night, some guests might not even get a chance to taste your delicious Halloween treats.

Tips for Setting Up Halloween Party Dessert Table

Create the perfect Halloween party dessert table by selecting a table cover in a Halloween-themed color, such as black, orange, or purple. After placing the table cover down, put your trays and bowls of desserts on the table, leaving some space between each of the different options. You may then want to spread some artificial cobwebs, fake spiders, and fake eyeballs throughout the table to give it that creepy Halloween appearance.
