Posted by Alexis TiradoCan you believe Halloween is this week? Today, we're having a Creepy Treat bake-off on "Morning Living" ! Hosts Kim and Betsy and their producer, Maureen, are the contestants for this contest. See their thoughts below and vote on the scariest treat!

Betsy Karetnick, Cohost of "Morning Living"
Recipe: Bug Brownies
Arachnaphobics beware! These big, bad brownie bugs are out to get you. They've got googly eyes and a tenacious disposition -- they'll stick to your thighs if you're not careful. Best of all, the brownie recipe is straight from the "Martha Stewart Cookies" book.
Kim Fernandez, Cohost of "Morning Living"
Recipe: Skull Cake
For my creepy treat, I leaned toward the whimsical and made a skull cake. I found a skull-shaped candy dish and went to town with the idea. The eyebrows on the cake are made from gravestone candies, the nose is composed of bat candies and the teeth are the tips of gummy candies. This recipe is fun and easy to make and bound to delight your kids!
Maureen McMurray, Producer of "Morning Living"
Recipe: Dirt Cake
Under the supervision of my mom, dirt cake was my first foray into baking. Luckily, this cake is super easy to make. Simply mix 8 ounces of cream cheese with butter and powdered sugar. Fold this mixture into a chocolate pudding mix and set aside. Crush a package of Oreo cookies and spread 1/3 of the cookie crumbs in the bottom of a planter. Layer 1/4 of the pudding mixture on top, layer another batch of cookie crumbs on top of the pudding and continue. Garnish with fake spiders, flowers, gummy worms, and voila! -- you have a creepy treat!
The brownies sound the most delicious, and look the most delicious. But, for scariest, even though I love spiders, and think they get a bum rap, it has to be the dirt cake

Maureen's is the scariest! The others are more cute & not scary.

I love, love, love the cup cakes. Looks like they took a lot of time to make, but so cool.
