Plot Synopsis

Each one-hour episode of HALLOWEEN COOKIE CHALLENGE features four crafty bakers who compete to deliver on the ultimate treat and prove their cookie-making skills by decorating decadent and show-stopping Halloween cookie creations. The winner earns a $10,000 prize and the title of Halloween Cookie Champion. Hosted and judged by Rosanna Pansino and Jet Tila in Season 1.

For Season 2, Duff Goldman and Rosanna Pansino celebrate the wildest and most colorful holiday of the year, beginning on Monday, September 25, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT on Food Network. They bring together the best cookie makers in the country to compete in two challenges and create the creepiest, spookiest and tastiest Halloween cookies ever made. The winner takes home a trick-or-treat bag filled with $10,000. In the season opener, "Day After Halloween and Ancient Coffin," it's the day after Halloween, and all the spooks are exhausted from their night of hard work. Four talented cookie makers show hosts Duff Goldman and Rosanna Pansino how the creepers relax the next day. The three cookiers who advance to the second round try to bury the competition while making 3D ancient coffins. To give their ancient coffins an "authentic" flavor, they'll need to use "mummified" ingredients like dried figs, dates, dried apples and dried cherries. One winner will take home the $10,000 prize.

On Monday, October 30, 2023 at 10pm ET/PT, Food Network premiered "Halloween Slice and Bake and 3D Haunted Mirror," the Season 2 finale of HALLOWEEN COOKIE CHALLENGE. Today in the laboratory, four top cookie makers take on one of the hardest technical challenges in the cookie world -- slice and bake cookies! Then, hosts Duff Goldman and Rosanna Pansino reflect on the remaining three cookie makers' creepy 3D haunted mirrors -- each with something spooky trapped inside! Old, haunted mirrors are always cracked, so the cookiers will have to incorporate "cracking" ingredients like kettle chips, pretzels, corn chips and plantain chips. The best mirror-maker will make off with a crackling $10,000.
