Halloween Food Fun

So, I know the most important issue surrounding Halloween is choosing the right costume. However, the second most important issue is what kinds of treats you’re going to whip up for the annual Halloween party that you’re either hosting or attending, right? After those two issues are resolved, it’s time to think about what kinds of candy you’ll hand out to the little trick-or-treaters and where you are going to take your kids to trick-or-treat.

I’ve always enjoyed Halloween for a number of reasons, but the one thing I look forward to the most (after trick-or-treating with the kids) is hosting our annual pumpkin carving party. This is something that just sort of happened about six years ago when a couple of friends came over to carve pumpkins with my husband and I. It has grown from there and is something we do every year. Everyone brings some food to share and we eat, drink and carve pumpkins. As I’m getting ready for this annual festivity, I’m collecting Halloween food recipes and thought I would share them with you guys! After all, what fun is Halloween without the festive food? So, here are some Halloween food that you and the entire family can enjoy!

1.      Chocolate Dipped Eyeballs: How yummy does this sound? Well, after reading the recipe, it sounds even yummier than I originally thought. This is one recipe that I’m going to have to give a try this year! You can find this Halloween delicacy here. 

2.      Side of Intestines: If you have a flair for the darker side of Halloween and enjoy serving foods that look like something out of a horror show, then these savory intestines will fit right in! For as gross as they look, they actually sound quite good!

3.      Mummy Dogs: Enjoy a new twist on an old favorite with this Pillsbury recipe. These Mummy Dogs looks amazing and are sure to “hit the spot” with all of your guests. While they are certainly filling, they are still a festive finger food!

4.      Monster Toes: Speaking of “finger” foods, why not add some monster toes to your Halloween menu? Guests are sure to find these to be delicious as they bite down and discover the secret to the toes! Best of all, this treat only has four ingredients so they’re going to be quick and easy to prepare!

5.      Spider Deviled Eggs: I’m a sucker for deviled eggs, but I’ve never thought about making them as Halloween party treats! Not only is the snack healthy, but it’s so cute and simple to make! These spider deviled eggs are definitely going to be making an appearance at our pumpkin carving party this year! (In addition to the spider eggs, you can scroll down to find nine more healthy Halloween treats for even more ideas!)

I hope you’ve found the recipes above inspiring for your Halloween festivities. If nothing else, these festive treats will give you something fun to do with the kids. Regardless of how you’re celebrating Halloween this year, I hope you have a blast and enjoy some spooky treats along the way!
