Raise Hell!

LUXURY SWEETS

Take Your Meds
As any New York host knows, pills can help get the party started. The label on these bottles of chocolate-covered cocoa beans recommends that patients "savor 3," but these babies are addictive: Expect belligerent and—should the costume permit—pistol-packing cries for refills. $5 per bottle.
Chocolat Michel Cluizel at ABC Carpet & Home, 888 Broadway, nr. 19th St.; 212-477-7335


Jack-O-Flanterns
If you’ve ever had to wait over an hour for a table at Cipriani, you can exact sadistic revenge on this posh chain by having its pastry chef scrape out 100 or so mini-pumpkins to be filled with creamy, coconut flan.$5 each.
Cipriani Le Specialità, 110 E. 42nd St., nr. Park Ave.; 212-812-8956


Ghastly Goody
Finally, a ghost with some substance as Casper re-appears as a small mountain of molded cake and creamy butter goodness. He comes in a variety of flavors and can feed twenty but if the guest list isn't likely to scare up that many people, opt for a pint-size specter who can serve four to six. $125 for a large, $35 for a small.
Ruthy's Bakery & Cafe at Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Ave., nr. 15th St.; 212-463-8800


Bone Fide Bonbons
If a phantom confection doesn’t fit the funereal festivities, maybe a skull cake can act as the feast’s memento mori. Sure, it's kistchy, but they’re so much cooler than cupcakes! $9.50 each
• Eleni’s at Chelsea Market, 75 Ninth Ave., nr. 15th St.; 888-435-3647
