20 Fun Halloween Party Food Ideas To Try Out This Spooky Season
Spook Up Your Halloween Party Offerings
Halloween parties are the perfect excuse to serve some seriously whacky foods. It's the only time of year you'll actually want to freak out your guests with your cooking so why not take advantage of it? From cute and cuddly bat donuts to cocktails served in syringes, here are some of our most creative Halloween-themed food ideas to add to your party table.
1. Spiderweb Cake
Chocolate cake and white frosting go a long way when creating a Halloween centerpiece. To make a spiderweb cake, you can either go rustic and pipe messy streaks over the dark cake surface or go fancy and use a toothpick to drag the lines into a neat spiderweb.
2. Ghost Cupcakes
Another perfect chocolate cake and white frosting combo that's easy to make are ghost cupcakes. Just pipe dollops of white buttercream on the cupcakes and make little eyes out of chocolate frosting or chocolate chips for a spooky snack.
3. Mummy Sausage Rolls
Who doesn't love sausage rolls? Cut the dough into strips and wrap the sausages up like mummies for an easy Halloween version.
4. Halloween Candy Charcuterie Board
A fun take on the classic charcuterie board is the candy board. Just arrange all your favorite classic Halloween candies in a pleasing way on a wooden board for an inviting and simple addition to the table.
5. Haunted Gingerbread House
If you really want to get creative, why not Halloween-ify a Christmas favorite? Build a house but instead of christmas trees and colorful gumdrops, decorate it with ghosts, ghouls, and spiders.
6. Eyeball Cookies
Who doesn't want their food staring back at them? Eyeball cookies are a quirky addition to any Halloween party table. Plus, they're easy to make: just bake sugar cookies and make eyeballs out of frosting or candies like Life Savers or M&Ms.
7. Spaghetti and Meat Eyeballs
Spaghetti is a great Halloween meal as it already looks a bit like guts. The addition of meat eyeballs makes it even more fitting. Just attach olive rings and a circle of mozzarella cheese to your meatballs for the complete effect.
8. Bloody Mary Syringes
Bloody Mary is an iconic Halloween cocktail so why not up the ante by serving it in syringes? It's sure to both impress and gross out your guests.
9. Zombie Gingerbread Men
We've all had gingerbread cookies at Christmas. Take that same concept but make them zombies by decorating with blood, scary faces, teeth and missing or broken limbs.
10. Ghost Pizza Bites
Another easy and fun savory course are ghost pizza bites. Just form your cheese into a ghost shape on top of a bed of sauce. This also works great in full pizza format.
11. White Chocolate Ghosts
White chocolate ghosts are an easy confection you can make for your guests to take with them as a memento. Just melt white chocolate and make ghost-like smears on a parchment. As it sets, make holes for eyes.
12. Spiderweb Bark
Another easy but impressive chocolate confection is spiderweb bark. Make it by spreading a layer of dark chocolate onto a tray lined with parchment, piping concentric circles of melted white chocolate and using a toothpick to streak through in a spiderweb shape before letting it set.
13. Green Popcorn
Green popcorn is a great option at Halloween parties as it looks kind of like brains. Just pop popcorn kernels on the stovetop and when they're still warm, add matcha powder, sugar, and salt.

14. Monster Wraps
We've finally found a use for those green burrito wraps! Make them look like Frankenstein's monster with olives for eyes, cheese for hair, and shredded carrots for a mouth.
15. Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
Anything "deviled" already sounds fit for Halloween. You can make it even better by making those orange innards look like a pumpkin using a gherkin as a stem.
16. Bat Donuts
One of the cutest Halloween treats you can make are bat donuts. Either pick up some donuts or donut holes and add some wings made from wafers cut in half, some eyeballs, and some teeth.
17. Vampire Cupcakes
Nothing says Halloween like a little blood. Vampire cupcakes are both striking and on theme, with red frosting tastefully adorning a white background. Fill them with raspberry jam for an extra bloody surprise.
18. Spider Sliders
There are many different ways to make these creepy crawlers but we like fries as legs and olives for eyes with lots of gooey cheese inside.
19. Frankenstein Guacamole
One of the simplest crowd pleasers for parties is guacamole and what's more, it happens to be green which is automatically on theme. Simply shape it into Frankenstein's boxy head and add some purple corn chips for hair, and a face made from refried beans, carrots, and peppers.
20. Graveyard Dip
Everyone loves a good dip. For this shareable entree, use layers, ensuring the refried beans are on top and stand crackers in rows on top to look like graves.
