Hot dog mummies

Live sausage night? The beauty of this A festive twist on pigs in a blanket Its flexibility is that you can use regular sized sausages, cocktail sausages for a mini version or veggie friendly options for veggie friendly mummies. Either way, the only other ingredients you’ll need are a packet of crescent rolls and some mustard or ketchup to make the eyes. Divide the rolls so that there is one strip of dough to wrap around each hot dog, and leave some space near the top for eyes — a couple of drops of ketchup or mustard — to peek through. Then preheat the oven and put it in for 10 minutes until it turns golden. Elevate the recipe by adding cheese between the dough and the dogs. You can also use Edible candy eyes To make the mummies look more realistic.

Pumpkin cheese ball

this Easy recipe Perfect for displaying cheese dip at Halloween parties. Start by grinding the cheese puffs in a food processor and then place the crumbs on a baking sheet. Next, mix the cream cheese, chives, salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese in a bowl and make a giant pumpkin by rolling everything into a ball. Smash the top with your hand to make it flat, and add some lines on the sides with a butter knife to make it look more realistic. Finally, roll the giant ball in cheese crumbs to give it a rich orange color, then place a bell pepper stem to serve as the pumpkin stem. Serve the cheesy pumpkin with the rest of the peppers, crackers, or other veggies you’d like for dipping.

Apple monsters

These are adorable Apple monsters They are a great choice for a non-scary Halloween party. You’ll need some Granny Smith apples, your favorite peanut butter (the thicker the better), candy eyeballs, pine nuts, and some pieces of mango or cheese. Cut the apples into quarters, then make a mouth in each one. Use peanut butter to fill in the gaps. The rest of the ingredients are used as the teeth of the little monster (pine nuts) and the tongue (a slice of mango or cheese). Finish off the face by gluing candy eyeballs onto the top of the apple slice with a few dots of peanut butter.

Creepy pudding cups

Perfect for those who appreciate a delicious “dirt cup” type of pudding, This is the spooky Halloween version Includes a chocolate mousse base. Topped with Oreo “dirt” crumbs. Use Milano cookies to make tombstones (if you have an edible pen or chocolate in a tube on hand, you can even write “RIP” on each one) and make little ghosts out of whipped cream. If you want to get even spookier, add candy pumpkins or gummy worms (or both!).

Witch’s Finger Cookies

these Scary cookies SO much tastier than they look: These delicious shortbread sticks are brought to life with green food coloring, chopped pistachios, and cherry and almond jam. The secret is to chill the dough in the refrigerator for up to two days before shaping it to ensure the fingers stay in the right shape. You’ll also need to add details — pistachios as warts and almonds to make convincing nails — and freeze the cookies for 30 minutes before baking them in the oven. Once done, remove the almond nail, put some cherry jam in its place, place it back on top, then add the jam on the other end of the biscuit for an even fancier look.

Deviled egg spider web

Think about these Festive deviled eggs As more of a foodie art project. In a bowl, mix blue or purple food coloring with water, then use a spoon to gently break up the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Place them in the blue water – with the skin still on – then place the bowl in the refrigerator for two hours to create a stylish spider web effect. Next, peel the eggshells, cut them in half, and remove the yolks. Mix it with mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, and green food coloring, then scoop it back over the egg whites. You can add some black sesame seeds for a more spooky effect.

Zombie brain cake bites

This is a no-brainer (see what we did there?). Not only these Small cakes Chocolatey and easy to bake in a mini muffin pan (unless of course you prefer full-sized cupcakes), the edible candy brains and green goo, made with a mixture of melted candy and heavy cream, make these the perfect addition to any Halloween party. There’s a little hand work involved, as you’ll need a brain candy mold and a food-safe paintbrush to enhance the details. But your guests’ reactions—especially when they bite into the candy brain and the green goo spills—will make all your effort worth it.

Peanut butter spider cookies

For all you peanut butter lovers, this is it Spider cookies It’s a piece of Reese’s cake that needs to be put together. You’ll only need four ingredients: peanut butter cookies (it doesn’t matter if you bake them or buy them, we won’t tell!) a package of mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, melted semi-sweet chocolate, and some eyeball candy. To assemble, use melted chocolate to stick a small peanut butter cup to the top of the cookie to create the spider’s body, then slide some of it through a Ziploc bag to create four legs on each side. Finally, use chocolate to attach the candy balls to the peanut butter cup.

Cakes of agony!

If you’re short on time, pick up some cupcakes from your favorite bakery or grocery store, along with a bunch of silly plastic vampire teeth and some candy balls, and whip up some Cakes of agony. Simply place these pieces into the donut hole, click the eyeballs into place, and go.
