NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The countdown to Halloween is on, and Wilton is bringing this year’s spooky season to life with treats that are equal parts frightful and fun. From ghost- and pumpkin-shaped pans to sprinkle mixes with serious personality, Wilton's Halloween 2026 lineup makes it easy for anyone to get creative in the kitchen and whip up their own boo-tiful treats.
Whether it's monster cookies for the school party, bloodshot eyeball cake pops for a grown-up gathering, or a batch of ghost cupcakes decorated with the kids, Wilton wants every baker to find their own way to get into the spirit. Because when it comes to Halloween, the scariest thing should be how good the treats taste.
"Halloween is one of our favorite times of year to see families get creative in the kitchen," said Doug Kafer, Director of Consumer Business Units, Wilton. "This year's Wilton Halloween lineup is all about giving bakers new ways to have fun with the season. Our new Witches Brew Mix and Pick Your Poison Mix sprinkles bring a little extra personality to the table, and pans like the Jack-O'-Lantern Fluted Pan make it easy to turn a simple cake into a showstopper. Whether it's a first attempt at monster cookies or a Halloween tradition that's been passed down for years, we want Wilton products to make it easy and fun to create something a little spooky and delicious."
