Fun Halloween party food ideas

October 10, 2012 by Katie Bryson

Halloween party food ideas by Katie Bryson

Spooky biscuits, monster blood spattered fruit kebabs, ghost cupcakes, witch hats and mummified sausage rolls

If you’re thinking of throwing a little Halloween party or fancy getting the kids stuck into some fun seasonal kitchen projects, then I’ve got a few recipe ideas for you. I’ve come up with five spooky party foods for Parentdish, so if you want to know how to make them click on the links below:

  • Classic Halloween biscuits – dead easy to make, and stamping out the shapes with ready rolled fondant icing makes them look really professional
  • Fruit kebabs with monster blood – adds a healthy dimension to the party table, but satisfies boys’ tendencies for guts and gore
  • Ghost cupcakes – the ghoulish meringues remind me of ghost busters
  • Chocolate witch hats – no cooking involved, just be prepared for all chefs involved to be coated in chocolate too
  • Sausage roll mummies – a lovely warming treat after a hard night’s trick or treating

I can certainly vouch for Arlo’s enjoyment of ‘helping’ me out with making the witch hats…

    Lovely ideas there Katie. Arlo looks like the cat that got the cream!! I don’t think I could cope with the chocolatey mess myself but will pass on the ideas to daughter as she and NCT friends often do Halloween party for the kids.

    Some really lovely ideas here Katie, I don’t usually get that into Halloween but the kids really love it, I’ll be making the witches hats, for sure and the meringue ghosts as cupcake toppers are a brilliant idea.

    great ideas – I love the witches hats in particular – what can’t be improved by chocolate! And I have a we lover of witches here who would love it

    Just to say that once again your site was a hit! I just finished the witch hats and the cupcakes. The witches were indeed a mess but adored! Quick tip: I found I could better secure the cones if I microwaved the chocolate biscuit a bit first and set the cone in it. Thanks for another fun idea.

    Love those bat biscuits! But might do the mummy sausage rolls, for a laugh!

Beautiful little book the audience were all given Beautiful little book the audience were all given at last night’s performance of #Here from @curious.monkey_ at @northern_stage. Such a powerful performance from the talented cast bringing together individual stories of what it means to seek sanctuary in the North East, the friendships that are forged and the spark of hope that refuses to be snuffed out. With the plight of refugees so visible right now,  the timing of this performance was impeccable. #RefugeesWelcome #togetherwithrefugees🧡 #StoryCollectors
