Season 1 of Halloween Cookie Challenge will feature five contestants in every episode. They will compete against each other to bake the best-looking and best-tasting cookies for Halloween.
Every one-hour episode of the show is going to be filled with challenges aimed at making the competition tougher. Apart from baking cookies that look a certain way, contestants will also be asked to add specific flavors to them.
The contestant who emerges victorious in all the challenges across the six episodes will ultimately be deemed the champion, and will also get to take home a cash prize of $10,000.
For the premiere episode of Halloween Cookie Challenge, titled Halloween Costumes and Haunted Houses, the competition will be held in two rounds.
In the first round, contestants will be given the task of making two costumes out of cooking dough. The official synopsis of the episode describes this round as follows:
"Halloween is fast approaching, but don't fret if you haven't decided what to be yet! In round one, hosts Jet Tila and Rosanna Pansino tasked four expert cookie makers with creating two costumes out of cookies!"
In the second round, to make things more interesting, participants will be asked to bake 3D cookie buildings. That apart, the cookies will also need to be induced with specific flavors. The episode synopsis describes this round as follows:
"Things start to get spooky in round two as the cookiers construct 3D haunted buildings. To make sure their displays have a hauntingly delicious taste, they incorporate spirits like black raspberry liqueur, melon liqueur, absinthe and orange aperitif."
