    Easy Halloween Appetizers

    Hotdog Fingers

    A plate of bloody, wrinkled, severed, Halloween sausage fingers.

    You'll never see hot dogs the same way after this Halloween sausage fingers recipe!

    Simply use a knife to create lines on sausages, boil the sausages, plate with oozing red ketchup (or raspberry jam.) Voila, you get creepy witch's fingers for Halloween!

    If you want more tips and tricks, click though to the recipe!

    It's an easy treat for a dinner party, for both kids and adults!

    Caprese Skewers

    Tomato, mozzarella and basil is always a winning combination but even more so when it comes as skull skewers!

    Charcuterie Board

    Salad Grubs

    You'll never guess what these Halloweens slugs are made of but I'll give you a hint- they're pretty healthy!

    Drinks

    Bleeding Eyeballs

    A cup of odiously green cocktail with a bloody looking lychee eyeball floating in it.

    Lychees make perfect eyeballs for Halloween- one of my favorite creepy Halloween treats!

    Pop in a bluberry- or black olive if you want a savory twist- smear on some raspberry jam to mimic fake blood, and you're almost done!

    These sweet lychees can be served as an appetiser or a dessert!

    To make these party snacks for grown-ups, I use the lychee eyeballs in this lychee champagne jelly recipe.

    Note: you can also add the lychee eyeball jellies to sparkling wine or lychee tea for a Halloween cocktail/ mocktail! (Leftover lychees can be used up in these recipes.)

    Bloody Lychee Eyeballs
    These Bloody Lychee Eyeballs are so quick to make- 5 minutes!- and only require 3 simple ingredients. Make them for an extra creepy Halloween party! (Vegan too.)
    Click here for Halloween bleeding eyeballs.

    Mains

    Pasta

    This Spooky Pasta with meatballs is a great main course for a Halloween party!

    Mummy Meatballs

    These Mummy Meatballs only need 3 ingredients: marinara sauce, meatballs and crescent roll dough!

    If you'd like an Asian twist to them, stuff them with these Asian pork meatballs!

    Burnt Hands

    These Pizza Hands are fun Halloween snacks for kids of all ages!

    Cyclops Pizza

    A platter full of spaghetti with creepy eyeballs on it.

    Noodles with black olives eyes are the perfect scary Halloween food for the whole family. If you don't have pasta, you can use chow mein noodles.

    Tip: To scale the creepy factor up a notch, use red cabbage juice or squid ink to turn your noodles purple or black!

    Halloween Spaghetti with Creepy Eyeballs
    Scary spaghetti with eyeballs is a fun, tasty halloween dish and this Clan Kitchen recipe doesn't need special ingredients and only takes 20 minutes to prep. Looks so Halloween-esque but uses regular pasta ingredients!

    Rotting Teeth

    We've seen strawberry ghosts and strawberry monsters, but have you seen rotting teeth strawberries?

    Maggots

    Can you believe these slugs and worms are made with marzipan?

    Broken Bones

    These Broken Bones show you anything is possible with pretzels!

    Poison Apples

    These sinister Poison Apples only take 5 ingredients to make!

    Worms

    If marzipan is not your thing, you only need pink juice, gelatine and straws to make these creepy crawly worms!

    Worm Tart

    And now that we have our worms, why not make them into a dark chocolate pecan mousse tart?

    No Bake

    Brain Cookies

    Who would have thought that Oreo cookies could make such spooky snacks?

    Best of all, that creepy oozing brain is totally natural and not from artificial red food coloring!

    Raw Meat

    These Halloween Rice Krispie Treats look a lot like raw meat- or even brains!

    Jellies

    Jellies are so easy to color and shape, they're amazing for creating scary sweet treats!

    Add a bit or red food coloring and you can create a blood clot.

    Or use a worm mold, some funky colors and you can make worm-shaped snacks- much better than using gummy worms as you can control the amount of sugar you add!

    GF Ghouls and Brains

    5 ghoulish cups of red jellyforming a cross shape.
    Ghoulish Jellies
    This is a fun, 3-ingredient creepy jelly by Easy and Delish that only requires 10 minutes to make! It's also gluten-free!

    5 ghoulish cups of red jellyforming a cross shape.

    Note: if you're vegan, you can substitute with agar agar or konnyaku jelly. Click through for more information before substituting. (For example, konnyaku is a choking hazard so not recommended for kids' parties!

    Eerie Chocolate Bark

    Melt some dark chocolate - you can do this easily by microwaving on low. Pour the melted chocolate onto parchment paper to cool.

    Next, melt some white chocolate, and use a tooth pick to use the chocolate sauce to draw cobwebs on the dark chocolate.

    Add a plastic spider and you're all set for your Halloween dessert.

    Tip: The best thing about this recipe is it can be customised for kids or adults! Use high-quality, high-cocoa chocolate for adults who don't like it too sweet, or milk chocolate for kids!

    Note: I don't recommend melting chocolate chip as it contains stabilisers.

    Drinks

    Amaze everyone at your next Halloween party with this easiest Halloween drink!

    A halloween shot that looks like creepy alien brains.

    Tip: A great way to create green cocktails is to use pandan extract or pandan paste.

    Hi I'm Zhen also known as GGG! I couldn't boil water till I was 18! However, I love creating community and nurturing people, so when I lived abroad (in St. Andrews then London) for 11 years, I started hosting regular parties for friends, and that's how I started cooking and helping out in professional kitchens. (Couldn't cook before that!) I even organised a supper club for charity (which strangers came to!) Learning to cook late, I make sure my recipes go into enough detail for those new to Asian cuisine or who love a test kitchen approach to cooking!
