The 7 Spookiest Edible Haunted House Kits You Can Buy

New to haunted house kits? Fret not, my spooky friend, for I have crafted a list of edible haunted house kits that are sure to scare your socks off. 

Gingerbread houses walked so that haunted house kits could run. Sure, Christmas-themed candy-covered houses with cookie walls are cute and cozy, but the Halloween Heads among us have been waiting our whole lives for something a little darker. We want spiders, bats, and ghosts, not gumdrops and peppermint discs. Here are the eeriest edible haunted house kits to buy right now.

This haunted house kit is a 2022 collaboration between Create-A-Treat and Reese’s that includes Reese’s cups, Reese’s pieces, and little decorative circle bits labeled “Halloween Quins” (like sequins, but spooky). It also comes with six chocolate cookies that form the roof and walls of the house, along with premade purple and orange icing packets for easy decorating. The kit includes a foundational base labeled as the “E-Z Tray” to ensure that the haunted house stays upright and aligned. We want our haunted house to be scary, but crooked is out of the question. This is a haunted house we’re building after all, not the Leaning Tower of Terror.

Create-A-Treat Oreo Spooky Castle Kit

The folks at Create-A-Treat have had their hands and likely their stomachs full given how yummy these haunted house kits look. Their Oreo Spooky Castle Kit practically shouts, “Why settle for a house when you could have a whole castle!” Finally, I can bring to life the spooky Oreo-themed Dracula fantasies I’ve been cultivating, right on my kitchen table. This kit comes with engraved cookie pieces and even includes a little haunted tree and fountain combo for extra Halloween bougieness. You also get orange, green, and white frosting, along with Halloween Quins in tiny pumpkin, bat, and ghost forms. The kit also includes mini neon beads and, of course, a bag of mini Oreo cookies. One thing that differentiates this Create-A-Treat kit from their Reese’s collab is the inclusion of the support pieces. These pieces go between the main cookies to create some depth in the build. Create-A-Treat knows the only thing I love more than Halloween Quins is a haunted castle with some depth.

Target’s Hyde & EEK! Boutique has a charming twisted tavern-themed Halloween house kit that is not for the faint of heart. This two-story haunted house kit comes with ten separate cookie pieces arranged in what the instructions label a “sandwich” (who doesn’t love a Halloween sandwich?). The whole tavern is designed to be slanted and comes with both purple and orange icing, as well as Halloween confetti sprinkles and black sanding sugar. This sanding sugar is a brilliant touch that gives the tavern spooky yet elegant accents. If you’re looking for a solid two-story haunted house kit, this one should scare up some fun.

This Creepin’ It Real haunted house kit from Wilton is so well named because creepin’ it real is what I think everyone should strive to do each Halloween season. This kit is straightforward and a good option for haunted-house-kit newbies, as it comes with seven easy to differentiate cookie pieces, one of which is a giant spider. For arachnophobes everywhere, this offers big points on the spook scale. It also includes three large icing bags and a sprinkle mix of stars, bones, and teeny little spiders. Go off, Wilton!! They’re creepin’ it real with the sprinkle game and we love it.

Yes, we typically associate Peeps with Easter, but they’ve gone fully macabre for spooky season.
