What foods for a Halloween party?

[Bernadine]

We're hosting our first Halloween party, and I like to plan early. What would be on your menu?

[W.T.Faulkner]

Autumn Apple sangria

I don't know a lot about food but I do know about alcohol, lol.

I would probably do all finger foods. Maybe chili with a toppings bar if you need sturdier.

Wings (bat wings)

dip in a pumpkin

Seven layer dip (a sour cream spider web on top)

the thing where you put ribs and cocktail weenies in a fake skeleton to look like ribs and intestines

Jalapeño poppers that look like mummies

Meatballs (eyeballs)

What kind of party? Mostly kids?

We go to a kids party every Halloween before trick or treating and the hosts serve pizza with a few fun Halloween apps like pigs in a blanket that look like mummies and things like that. There are a ton of clever Halloween appetizers on Pinterest that kids love.

And then Halloween cupcakes for dessert.

Maybe a cold lo mein "brains" salad. Corn dogs or you can take the hotdogs, wrap them with crescent dough to make mummy dogs, Fruit skewers, various chips and dips (maybe come up with cute names...thinking Hotel Transylvania with the scream cheese cake). Sliders are always good.

I have made these and they are beyond delicious, but then, I loved buffalo chicken.

HUH. I'd never heard of this before, so searched & I'm definitely making for any future Halloween parties, thanks!!


I also thought this looked pretty funny, OP (though not sure how easy it would be to eat for a party...🤔)

I know it's just meat loaf....but I could NOT eat the FEET loaf!

Caramel apple bar: Caramel in a mini crockpot and apples with a slicer. Toppings like chocolate chips, sprinkles, nuts, etx

[miso]

Boo-berries

[sonrisa]

Put the "sangre" back in Sangria:

Sangria with lychee/blueberry eyes  
(https://www.thespruce.com/diy-lychee-eyeball-garnish-for-halloween-759981 but skip the fruit preserves)

We do pumpkinfest each year with alllll the beer.

This time I'm making coconut pumpkin curry with chicken, onion, and sweet potatoes.

Basic beckies.

Ok this is genius. Keeping this idea for our party!

I love the disgusting ones! Last year I had guacamole coming out of the mouth of a small carved pumpkin with the chips arranged around it.
