    Easy Halloween Party Food

    Halloween themed food is fun for everyone! Even us grown ups enjoy witch finger cookies and brain cupcakes, right? There is just so much you can do with Halloween themed food. The list of foods you can make to celebrate is endless.

    Raising four kids, my husband and I like to make the most of every holiday. Halloween has always been a fun one, from the costumes and decorations, to the trick-or-treating, to spooky movie nights together on the couch.

    Since you’re here, I know you must love Halloween as much as I do, which is exactly why I’m so excited to share with you my favorite part of the holiday… the food!

    These are my favorite Halloween themed foods, from recipes I’ve come up with myself to those I’ve saved over the years. Whether you’re looking for creepy Halloween food ideas as a treat for the kids or Halloween dinner ideas for adults, there’s a recipe here for you.

    What food do you have at a Halloween party?

    For a Halloween party, the best food to serve is Halloween themed foods. You can make them cute, with googly eyes and puff pastry mummy wrappings, or creepy, with fake slime and gooey eyeballs. Or, you can make them only subtly themed for the holiday, like food served in pumpkin-shaped dishes.

    I like all approaches to Halloween food ideas – cute, creepy, and subtle! You just can’t go wrong with theming food for the holidays. Try classic Halloween party foods like monster-themed sweets and spooky savory snacks.

    How do you make everyday foods you serve your children a Halloween themed version?

    My favorite recipes for Halloween below are perfect for the holiday, but if you want to make Halloween themed foods from dishes you regularly make, you can easily convert your favorite household dishes into holiday specials.

    For example, try making a casserole kids love, like Mexican Lasagna, into a Halloween-themed dish by adding Halloween themed food picks or making a crispy Parmesan spiderweb to add on top.

    With younger kids especially, mummy hotdogs are a great choice. Wrap the hotdogs in puff pastry strips to make them look like mummies, and add little candy or olive eyes for extra effect.

    Adding candy eyes (or sliced olives) is a great way to make any dinner or snack into a fun Halloween themed food!
