BOO! {A Gaggle of Spooky Foods for your Halloween Party}

Halloween Treats & Fun

OK, I LOVE HALLOWEEN.
I love the kids dressed up.
I love my house spookified.
I love creepy cocktails.
I love the friends gathering.
AND
despite all my Pumpkin hate.
I actually LOVE a good cheese ball shaped like a pumpkin....
it's the thought of adding pumpkin to my coffee, risotto or even yes.... *shudder* my Martini that KILLS ME.


So, spooky food.....
arm me with a variety of Pillsbury products and I can bake up one killer Spooky Food Banquet. 
And I do.
Every Halloween.
It's one of my favorite things....
nothing gourmet.
Not fancy.
Probably bordering on 4th grade level execution
BUT F.U.N.

So, I want to share.... all the recipes are links,  I created NONE of this, I cannot take credit for the creativity but the execution [good and bad] is all me & my kids.... the crappy photography.... all me.  But none of this was done for a blog... this was done for the love of it.

I hope you love it too & HAPPY HALLOWEEN {I know it's early but what good would this post be ON Halloween! You'd be annoyed}!



Halloween Cheese & Dips

My pumpkin cheese ball is my FAVORITE I use for Halloween

and of course for Turkey Day

Super easy.  The top I actually rip a stem off a real pumpkin.... the recipe called for using a green pepper. 

I like my way better :)

 

The web dip was just on Yummy Mummy with a video that I'm linking, that's Ranch with Ketchup for dipping little mummies but you could use any dip in my opinion.

 

The fingers out of the dip below are baby carrots with red pepper triangles.  Cute and easy! 

 



Halloween Spooky Food with a little help from Pillsbury



On the far left are serpent "hoagies"

                    then little bugs.... a/k/a pigs in a blanket with dots

                                              then a couple examples of every one's favorite....

                                              the Cordon Bleu Mummy. 

                                              Do not make less than 2.  Actually delicious.

                                                                                        & bringing up the rear are the meatball caterpillars.... CUTE!



Quick Fixes to fill out the Spooky Banquet
Deviled Eggs with Olive Spiders
& Witches Fingers PBJs



 

& even with ALL THAT CANDY.... dessert is a must!





SPOOKY HALLOWEEN SWEET TREATS

 

The top right is a spooky log pound cake...

That is really as talented as I get.

I'm VERY proud of that.

 

That's Dylan with our "Witch's Hat" Cake.  BOO!

 

A friend of mine brought the Kitty Litter Cake.

Too freaking funny

& pretty darn tasty

presented in a real litter pan of course.

 

And finally my Candy Corn Trifle

I think that with practice it will end up being

a great addition but that was my first attempt!

It was yummy :)

 

 

 

 

 

p.s. I promise a spooky cocktail post within the week!

 

 

NOTE:  The links in this post are mostly from the original source but a couple I could not find so I chose a blog rendition that I felt was accurate & useful; a few I couldn't find anything other than the picture I had gone from and so I leave you with my picture as your guide... the log [which is a saralee pound cake cut in half, iced and marshmellows, M&Ms, gummiworms and almond slivers], the spider eggs and use your own yummy recipes!
