When it comes to Halloween, many people tend to overlook the food element of the holiday. Sure, the spooky season’s main event is focused on candy, but there’s much more you can eat that doesn’t involve a toothache afterward. Whether you’re planning a Halloween party or just want to indulge in some festive snacking, there’s something just for you. Here are some fun Halloween snacks that will not only tantalize your taste buds but also get you in the spooky spirit.
Witch’s Broomstick Pretzels
No need for a magic spell to create these broomstick snacks. Just take mini pretzel sticks and insert small string cheese pieces into the top to resemble the bristles of a broom. Use a chive or green onion to tie it all together, and you have a simple yet enchanting Halloween treat.
Mummy Dogs
Transform ordinary hot dogs into spooky mummies with just a roll of refrigerated crescent dough. Cut the dough into thin strips and wrap them around the hot dogs, leaving a small gap for the eyes. Use mustard or ketchup to create the mummy’s eyes, and bake until golden brown.
Candy Corn Parfait
For a sweeter Halloween treat, try making candy corn parfaits. Layer orange Jell-O, whipped cream, and pineapple chunks in clear glasses or cups to mimic the iconic candy corn look. It’s a fun and easy way to recreate one of the most debated Halloween candies.
Monster Apple Bites
If you’re looking for something a bit healthier, try monster apple bites! Slice apples and spread peanut butter on one side of each slice. Press mini marshmallows into the peanut butter as the monster’s teeth. Top with another apple slice and use raisins for the eyes. They’re spooky, nutritious, and a hit with kids.
Spooky Guacamole and Tortilla Chips
Give your guacamole a ghoulish twist by shaping it into a graveyard or a spider web. Use black olives for the spider and tortilla chips for headstones. Not only is it a crowd-pleaser, but it’s also a fantastic addition to your Halloween party spread.
Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
Add some “devil” to your deviled eggs by transforming them into little pumpkins. After preparing your deviled egg filling, use a bit of paprika to create a pumpkin-like appearance on top. Place a small piece of chive for the stem, and you’ve got a delightful and savory Halloween snack.
Halloween Popcorn
Make ordinary popcorn extraordinary by mixing it with orange and black candy melts, then decorating with your choice of Halloween-themed sprinkles or crushed cookies. It’s the perfect snack for cozying up with your favorite spooky movie.
