Halloween isn’t just about costumes and decorations; it’s also a great opportunity to get creative in the kitchen. These 11 easy-to-make treats will not only look spooktacular on your party table but are also sure to be a hit with goblins and ghouls of all ages:
- Mummy Hot Dogs: Wrap strips of crescent roll dough around hot dogs leaving a small space for eyes. Bake until golden brown and dot with mustard or ketchup for eyes.
- Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats: Make classic Rice Krispies Treats with a twist: add orange food coloring and shape them into little pumpkins, adding a mini Rolo or similar candy as a stalk.
- Monster Mouths: Slice apples into wedges and use peanut butter to sandwich them together, resembling a mouth. Stick mini marshmallows to the peanut butter on one side for teeth.
- Witch’s Broomstick Snacks: Cut cheese sticks into thirds, fray one end for the broom’s bristles, and then stick a pretzel stick into the other end as the handle.
- Spider Web Cupcakes: Frost cupcakes with white icing, draw circles with black icing, and then drag a toothpick from the center outwards to create a spiderweb effect.
- Ghost Bananas and Tangerine Pumpkins: Cut bananas in half and use chocolate chips to give them ghost faces. Peel tangerines and insert a small celery stick on top to look like pumpkins.
- Jello Worms: Combine raspberry or grape jelly with gelatin in straws to set, creating realistic-looking edible worms.
- Oreo Bats: Split Oreo cookies in half, using the cream-filled side. Insert two halves into the cream of a whole Oreo for wings, and add small edible eyes.
- Halloween Bark: Melt white chocolate and spread it out on a baking sheet. Sprinkle on Halloween-themed candies and sprinkles, then chill until set. Break into shards for a wickedly sweet snack.
- Candy Corn Parfaits: Layer pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges, and whipped cream in clear cups to resemble candy corn.
- Bloody Red Velvet Cake: Bake a red velvet cake, cut it into squares, and drizzle with raspberry or strawberry syrup for a ‘bloody’ effect.
These simple and delicious treats not only bring a special Halloween vibe to your party but also ensure that everyone has a hauntingly good time. Enjoy the spooktacular celebration with these tasty, themed goodies!
