Last Minute Halloween Food Ideas

Just a couple ideas if you are trying to round out your Halloween party menu. You don't have to always make it look like something, but instead rename it or play off the name.

Tombstone Pizza  - use the name brand and insert some Halloween toothpicks
Maggots & Cheese - you guessed it, it's Mac&Cheese
Severed Fingers - Just hot dogs with some cuts and slices in them and some ketchup (blood)

Some other Halloween found ideas include:

• Jack-o-Lantern Puke 

• Jack-o-Lantern Krispies 

• Brain Treats  

• Vampire Donuts 

• Witch's Brew

•  Vampire Slush 

• Corned Beef Face Dip

•  Halloween Sugar Cookie Cut Outs 

•  Halloween Marshmallow Popcorn Balls 

• Vampire Blood, Zombie Drool, Chopped Toads  

• Spooky Lunchbox Ideas 

Next week, I will share some easy Halloween Cupcake ideas with you too.

2 T olive oil
