  5. Bake Ghostly Meringue Cookies: Whip egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Pipe ghost shapes on a baking sheet and bake until crisp.

  8. Make Sweet Potato Bites: Bake sweet potatoes, allow to cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  9. Dip Pretzels: Melt chocolate until smooth, then dip pretzels in it. Let them cool on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens.
