The tour was super cool! An experience we’ll always remember. Our personalities compliment each other because when one of us doesn’t feel like putting in the effort, the other does. We compensate for each other! I never would have thought a trip to the store could teach us how intricately pool cues are made!

This Halloween Pop-Tart Haunted House accommodates both approaches! You can either go into decorating with a plan or just randomly place candy and see what you end up with!

No Baking Required – So kids can easily help assemble and decorate without using an oven!

Ingredients You’ll Need

6 Cookies & Cream Pop-Tarts – The main structure of the haunted house, providing sturdy walls and a spooky cookies and cream flavor that fits the Halloween theme.

1 tube Decorating Icing – Acts as the ‘glue’ to hold the Pop-Tart pieces together and is perfect for adding decorative details like windows, doors, cobwebs, and spooky designs.

Halloween Candy – Used to customize and decorate each haunted house with festive colors, textures, and fun seasonal touches. Candy can create roofs, pathways, pumpkins, ghosts, or other Halloween inspired details.

How to Make a Halloween Pop-Tart Haunted House

Lay out a piece of parchment paper.

Vertically place 1 Pop-Tart down. Lay another one down to the left and to the right of it, lining them up on the bottom.

Using a knife, find the center of the top of the vertically placed Pop-Tart and cut down to align with each Pop-Tart to the left and right of it.

Lay the cut Pop-Tart on top of the remaining Pop-Tart and cut along the pointed top so they match.

Reposition the pieces to form a house, placing the pointed Pop-Tarts on the ends.

Using decorating icing, ‘glue’ all walls together. Once set, ‘glue’ the roof on.

Once all edges of the house have dried, begin ‘gluing’ on Halloween candy to decorate as desired.

Let the Icing Set as You Build – Apply icing to one section at a time and allow it to firm up for a few minutes before adding more pieces. This helps prevent the house from collapsing.

Gather Decorations Before You Start – Have all of your Halloween candies, sprinkles, and icing ready so you can decorate immediately after assembling the house.

Make it a Group Activity – Set up a decorating station with different candies and let everyone create their own unique haunted house design.

Don’t Aim for Perfection – Crooked roofs, extra candy, and messy icing often make the houses look even more spooky and fun, which is perfect for Halloween!
