Halloween Party Food Ideas

Would you like to try some boo-tiful Halloween treats?  Witch ghoulish recipes do you like the best?

If you are having Halloween party (and let’s admit it, dressing up and going all out does sound like a lot of fun!) set the scene with some yummy and fun foods with a scary twist!  Whether for kids or adults, these ideas will suit all ages and your guests will think they are truly gruesome goodies.

• Toffee Apples – Apples are a traditional Halloween food, and the old-fashioned game of bobbing for apples is still popular now. Buy or make bright red toffee apples for an eye-catching terrifying treat.
• Halloween Spider Cupcakes – make cupcakes and allow to cool. Cover with black icing and use liquorice straps to make the legs then add green smarties for eyes.
• Bat wings – simply oven bake or BBQ chicken wings marinated in soy or other sauce.
• Eyeballs – a healthy treat, but they look truly scary! Get a dried apple ring (a bit wrinkly gives a good effect), a piece of dried apricot and a sultana or dried cranberry in the middle.
• Marshmallow Ghosts and Monsters – stick some marshmallows on some lollypop sticks and freeze for 15 minutes. Dip them in white melted chocolate (white for ghosts or mummies, add green colouring for Frankenstein and orange for jack-o-lanterns), then stick them in a Styrofoam block to set. As they are hardening, use black decorating gel to draw on some spooky faces.
• Halloween themed biscuits – use a basic biscuit recipe, but use Halloween–inspired cookie cutters, such as bats or ghosts, witches hats etc.

Use your imagination and you can re-create any of your favourite party foods into monstrous munchies
