These ideas can make your Halloween Spooktacular. There is also a roundup of my Halloween posts!

Quick and Easy Party Food Ideas

Spooky Spiders

• Spread peanut butter or processed cheese spread onto round butter crackers.
• Place four chow mien noodles or small pretzel sticks on each side of the cracker making eight spider legs.
• Stack a cracker on top to make a sandwich.
• Dip raisins into peanut butter or cheese spread and place on top as spider eyes. Peanut butter makes a great glue.

Bloody Bones

• Make spareribs using your favorite barbecue sauce or purchase ready-made spareribs.
• Arrange the ribs to resemble a human rib cage.
• Place a half of a red pepper or a tomato in the middle as the heart and put a real knife or fake knife into the heart.

Bloody Brains

Any type of cooked spaghetti or spiral pasta with red sauce. Easy peasy!

Monster Hands

• Place candy corn into each finger of a plastic deli glove.
• Fill the glove (including fingers) with popcorn until plump and tie off at the wrist of the glove.

Yummy Eyeballs

• Slice carrots, cucumbers, or radishes into bite-sized circles.
• Put a dab of cream cheese on top.
• Put 1/2 a pitted black or green olive on top.

Fingers and Dip

• Peel and slice carrots lengthwise into finger size pieces.
• Attach almond slices or plain potato chips pieces onto one end of the carrots with cream cheese as the fingernail.
• Use the same idea using pretzel rods.
• Supply your favorite dip.

Apple Bites

• Core and slice an apple.
• Spread peanut butter to one side of the apple slice.
• Put three or four tiny marshmallows for teeth on top of the peanut butter.
• Top with another apple slice, peanut butter side down.

Mummy Roll-Ups

• Use a cooked hot dog, breaded chicken strips, or nuggets.
• Place in a tortilla with ketchup and roll up burrito-style, leaving one end open.
• Use ketchup to dot on the eyes of the mummy.

Food Faces

• Create scary, silly, or jack-o-lantern faces using meat, cheese, and vegetable pieces on round foods such as pizzas, cheese crisps, quesadillas, or tostadas.
• You can also use homemade pizzas or frozen cheese pizzas.
• Use pepperoni and black olives as eyes, red pepper pieces to form noses, or diced onions to create teeth.
• For cheese crisps, use black olives for eyes, shredded lettuce for a mouth, salsa or sour cream for noses or mouths.

Bagel Monsters

• Slice bagel in half.
• Spread on cream cheese
• Fill with meat and use a piece of ham to make a tongue coming out of the center of the bagel hole.
• Attach black olive or pepperoni eyes with cream cheese
• Use lettuce leaves as hair and carrots as a nose.
