Fabulously Creepy Kids Party Food
Here are a few food/snacks/munchy ideas for your Halloween Party. These are easy and fast, most take only a few minutes to make and will be a hit with both the kids and the adults.
Spooky Spider Crackers
Spread peanut butter or process cheese spread onto round butter crackers then place four chow mien noodles or small pretzel sticks on each side of the cracker making eight spider legs then stack a cracker on top making a sandwich then dip raisins into peanut butter or cheese spread and place on top as spider eyes. Peanut butter makes a great glue! LOL
Bloody Rib Bones
Smear cooked spare ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce (add a bit more red food coloring to make them even more macabre). Then arrange the ribs to resemble a human rib cage. Place a half of a red pepper or tomato in the middle as the heart and put a real knife or fake knife into the heart. Creeeeepy!!
Here are some great ideas to help decorate your Halloween table and feed your hungry ghouls:
Smashed Bloody Brains
Take any type of cooked spaghetti or spiral pasta and create a mound in the middle of a large plate, now soak the pasta with red spaghetti sauce. Voila… a busted brain!
Monster’s Hands
Find some clear plastic “food safe-serving” gloves and place a candy corn into each finger then fill with popcorn until plump and tie off at the wrist of the glove. Your guests can munch from the hand shaped popcorn bags till they get down to the sweet “fingertips”! Yum!!
Yummy Veggie Eyeballs
Slice carrots, cucumbers or radishes in bite size circles. Put a dab of cream cheese on top and then put 1/2 a pitted black or green olive on top. Perfect combos for the vegetarian in all of us!
Fingers and Dip
Peel and slice carrots length wise into finger size pieces. Attach almond slices or plain potato chip pieces onto one end of the carrots with cream cheese too serve as the fingernail. You can use the same idea using pretzel rods or bread sticks. Next bowl up some of your favorite dips so guests can literally… “dip their fingers” in! Ha ha ha…
Apple Bites
Core and slice an apple. Spread peanut butter to one side of the apple slice. Put three or four tiny marshmallows for teeth on top of the peanut butter. Top with another apple slice, peanut butter side down. Now you have a mouth with teeth smiling back at you while you chomp down on it!
My Mummy Roll-up
Use a cooked hot dog or breaded chicken strips and place in tortilla with a bit of ketchup, next roll them up burrito style leaving one end open. Use small ketchup drops to dot on eyes of mummy. Now you have a Yummy Mummy!
Food Faces
Create scary, silly, or jack-o-lantern faces using meat, cheese and vegetables pieces on round foods such as pizzas, cheese crisps, quesadilla or tostadas. You can use homemade pizzas or frozen cheese pizzas. Use pepperoni and black olives as eyes, red pepper pieces to form a nose or diced onions to create teeth. For cheese crisps use black olives for eyes shredded lettuce for a mouth, salsa or sour cream for noses or mouths. Be creative!
Bagel Monsters
Slice bagel in half. Spread on cream cheese fill with meat and use a piece of ham to make a tongue coming out of center of the bagel hole. Attach black olive or pepperoni eyes with cream cheese put lettuce leaves as hair and a carrot nose. Not only a bit creepy but FUNNY looking too!
