The Worm-Infested Dirt Cake
Kicking off our list of gross looking Halloween desserts is the classic worm-infested dirt cake. This dessert is as easy to make as it is disgusting to look at. All you need is some chocolate cake, crushed Oreo cookies, gummy worms, and a little bit of creativity.
To make the dirt, simply crush your Oreos and mix them with some butter. For the worms, you can either use gummy worms or make your own using fondant and food coloring. The key to making this dessert truly gross is to bury those worms deep within the "dirt" so they're not immediately visible. Trust us, your guests won't know what hit them!
Bloody Brain Cupcakes

Start by baking your favorite cupcake recipe and letting them cool. Then, it's time to get gross. Use a box of red velvet cake mix to make a batch of "brains." Once they're cooled, cut them into brain-like shapes and place one on top of each cupcake. To make the bloody effect, use a combination of red and pink icing to create those gruesome veins. Finally, add some edible glitter for that extra touch of gross.
