It’s almost that time of the year again! Halloween is my favorite holiday. It also happens to be my husbands birthday so it is extra special for us! Unfortunately, we are not having a Halloween party this year because of our current times but you better believe next year, it will be a monster mash with all kinds of spooky, creepy and fun appetizers like these! I am already starting to plan my menu.
But don’t let me stop the fun! If you ARE planning on throwing a small party this year, I have collected some of the spookiest appetizers and snacks that your guests will love!
The Halloween season is filled with many exciting activities and festivities but will be incomplete without the “spooky” food. If you are looking to have an adult-only party, then these Halloween finger foods should be on the menu: they are festive and guaranteed to give your party guests the ultimate chill.
Before your invitee’s dive into the main course and all the Halloween desserts, try seducing them with these crowd-pleasing Halloween appetizers including frightfully delicious dips, deviled eggs, and — a personal favorite — severed toes in a blanket. With these brilliant recipes, you can easily transform some of the best party staples into ghosts, goblins, spiders, and more.
This list also comprises some vegetarian options for those meat-free folks, like veggie “fingers”, and big bites of traditional favorites, like the Jack-o-lantern ham and cheese sandwich bites. Whip up these recipes for a dreadful delight!
Thanks to puff pastry, mini pepperoni and two slices of black olives, your basic baked brie becomes a totally spooky Halloween appetizer. It is perfect for your Halloween party spread and can be smacked on while watching scary movies!
