Halloween Food: Making Spooky Treats Kids Will Love
Make your Halloween party something special by serving Halloween treats that look like body parts and creatures. This holiday, the Celebrations team has great food ideas that go beyond candy corn and caramel apples. We have the recipes you need to create creepy cupcakes, edible jack-o-lanterns, and more spooky treats for the children.
Read on for sugar, chocolates, and black cupcakes galore. We have five dark ideas for a great Halloween night.
Spooky and Easy Recipes
1. Jack-O-Lantern Face Pizza
Create a Jack-O-Lantern face on frozen cheese pizza. Use pepperoni slices and cut them into triangles for the eyes, have an olive for the nose, and a green pepper sliver for the mouth. Arrange face ingredients to your liking, and be sure to cook the pizza according to the instructions.
2. Gibson Onion Eyeball Garnish
For something delicious, slice a pimento-stuffed green olive into small rounds and put it on a Gibson onion. Use these to garnish dips and cocktails with the use of a toothpick.
3. Pumpkin-Shaped Food
For ultra holiday celebration, use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to stamp out cookies and sandwiches for the party.
4. Worms in Dirt Pudding
Fill clear plastic cups with mounds of chocolate pudding. On top, layer Oreo cookie crumbs to act as a dirt. For extra effect, add gummy worms sticking out.
5. Witch Hat Cookies
To create this black delight, ice a cookie with dark chocolate frosting and place a Hershey’s Kiss in the middle for the top of the hat.
