Smashin Sweets’ Halloween smash cake

You’ve heard of the Monster Mash, but have you heard of the Brain Smash? Use the handy-dandy wooden mallet that comes with the cake to wreak havoc on this hand-made chocolate brain. It’s filled with chocolate bars, lollipops and candy eyeballs—kind of like a piñata, but better because it’s entirely edible. $45 (on its own) and $95 (with other treats included). Delivery starts at $10 and varies based on location. Orders must be made 72 hours in advance. @smashinsweets

A box of sweets from The Candy Bar

One of the best parts of Halloween is getting home and taking inventory of your haul. But there’s also the disappointment that comes in the form of boxed raisins. Well, you won’t find any of those in The Candy Bar’s curated box. Each order comes with a different mix of goodies that could include gummy frogs, Ring Pops, caramel corn, vanilla fudge, Fun Dip, neon sour gummy worms, Nerds, rainbow laces, taffy or British Cadbury chocolate bars. No matter your box, every one comes with a no-raisin guarantee. For Halloween delivery, orders must be made by October 27. $30. thecandybar.ca

O&B’s Halloween-at-home kit

It’s not quite what you’d expect from the folks behind Canoe (and a whole bunch of other restaurants), but kids are sure give this Halloween haul five stars. Each kit comes with two Detroit-style pizzas, a caesar salad, pumpkin- and ghost-shaped cookies, assorted candy, glow sticks and animal masks. Then, for your movie marathon, there’s also Graveyard Carnival Corn (essentially tricked-out caramel corn strewn with gummy worms, chocolate hunks and marshmallows). $110. oliverbonacini.com

Terrifying treats from the Grand Order of Divine Sweets

If you like your Halloween celebrations on the gory side, a multi-tiered cake cleaved open to reveal chocolate ribs and a realistic heart should do the trick. Or maybe a pumpkin-shaped one that “bleeds” when cut is more up your alley? If you’re not up to the task of demolishing an entire cake, The Grand Order of Divine Sweets also makes (not-so scary) brain cupcakes, chocolate zombies and bat-emblazoned bars. Delivery available for all orders over $50. For Halloween delivery, orders must be made by October 27. thegoodsweets.com

Storm Crow Manor’s Deathburger

On All Hallow’s Eve, the Grim Reaper will be delivering Storm Crow Manor’s so-called Deathburgers. And Death doesn’t travel by bike or in a 10-year-old Mazda—he’s gonna be ferrying those fries in a full-on hearse. The goth-approved Deathburgers are crushable sliders that sandwich all-beef patties between charcoal black buns. $22.50 for a box of six sliders. stormcrow.com

Gemaro Bakery’s gingerbread haunted mansion

Who says Christmas gets to have gingerbread houses all to itself? Heck, the cookie spices are basically a PSL—minus the pumpkin and the latte—so why not enjoy gingerbread in October? This kit is perfect for kids haunted by allergies; it’s free of gluten, eggs, corn, dairy and nuts. For Halloween delivery, orders must be made by October 28. $22.95. gemarobakery.com
 

Hyr Live’s virtual cocktail and cookie experiences

Project Gigglewater’s autumnal cocktail kits

R.I.P. to the first Saturday Halloween in the last half decade—and you won’t be getting another spooktacular Saturday until 2026. Drown those pandemic blues with one (or two) of Project Gigglewater’s autumnal cocktail kits. A night of slasher flicks would pair perfectly with some of their Violet Delights, Violet Ends. If you’re more of a paranormal junkie, a brew made with tequila, blood orange and ghost pepper agave called Casper and The Harvest Moon might be more fitting. $65-$67.50. projectgigglewater.com
