This Dracula Dentures recipe is made from chocolate chip cookies, marshmallows, almond slices, and a little red frosting. These are a Halloween recipe that’s not only fun to look at but good to eat.

DRACULA’S DENTURES

My biggest issue with Halloween food is that although it may look cool, rarely does it actually taste good.

I knew when I saw these that not only were they unique but they weremade from chocolate chip cookies and frosting, something I could totally sink my teeth into.

These took 2nd place by Lori Fillmore in the Nestle 2010 Spooktacular Baking Contest. Thanks for the creative recipe!

I host our annual Halloween Bunko party every year and I’m always looking for fun and festive Halloween recipes.

You can makeDracula’s Denturesas easy or hard as you want. You can make your own dough for the chocolate chip cookie part or buy it; make your own frosting or tint some store bought.

Have a nut allergy? Use pumpkin seeds or a slice of a white gummy candy for the fangs.

You can make any dessert a Halloween dessert by adding Edible Blood!

Hey Christy,
Do you have any video tutorial of this recipe?

Hi there, these look so good, do you think if I make them the night before they’d keep well?
- Christy Denney — Mon, 06 Aug 2018 @ 22:42:41 EDT Reply
  Yes. I think they would be fine!

Love these cookies!! But for those of us who aren’t experienced bakers, be wary of the red food dye/your fingertips. Was planning on bringing them into my office, but saw my stained fingers and could just see the sweet-loving attorneys unhappily walking into court with red dyed fingers… and hearing about it forever… a reluctant no-go from me. The ones I did put together looked terrific, though!

I made these yesterday for an office party, they were a huge hit! Our theme involved red foods, so I upped the ante with red glitter gel piped along the top “gum” which sat overnight and kind of ran down into the teeth, not as much as I wanted, but next time I might try dyed corn syrup. I didn’t have time to fuss with the fangs, they were cute/scary enough without.

  Ooh. Awesome!!

I loved your easy instructions. You might want to add that the top cookie should be placed a little behind the marshmallows. I lined the top cookie up with the bottom cookie. When I looked back at this site, I realized I shouldn’t have done that. It still looks great, but I should have set the top cookie back a little more. Thanks!

These look so cute and I would love to make them for a Halloween party that our fire co. is having for the neighborhood kids. Could I freeze them without a problem?

  Sure! I don’t see why not.
Tracey — Wed, 27 Sep 2017 @ 11:36:54 EDT Reply
Hi, Adorable idea! Thanks. Do you have any ideas about what else could be used for the teeth instead of nuts (for a nut free classroom)? I saw some online with marshmallow teeth, but wondering if anyone has any other ideas.
- Christy Denney — Sun, 01 Oct 2017 @ 21:28:53 EDT Reply
  Marshmallow, white gummies or frosting!

Love these! We have a couple of kids at the party with nut allergies. Can you suggest something instead of the almonds?
- Shayla G. — Tue, 29 Oct 2013 @ 14:03:52 EDT Reply
  For the person who has the nut allergic kids… I was thinking the same thing. I am going to make these too, and we also have those allergies. I’m thinking just pipe some white frosting down from the cookie, or like someone said, use pumpkin seeds. Other ideas may be to use a sliced piece of apricot dipped in white chocolate, or a slice of something like a gummy candy, or candy corn if you can find nut-free. Good luck!

I have been gleaning great ideas off your site for some time now and I about passed out today when I got on and saw the recipe for Dracula’s Dentures. This was the recipe I submitted to the Nestle Tollhouse Spooktacular Bakeoff last year and won second prize for!!! I am so excited to see my recipe being posted and used. Thanks so much for sharing my recipe! I can’t wait to try out some of your other Hallowene concoctions!
