Hosting a Halloween get together or just want some cute ideas for festive food? Don’t fret—I’ve got you covered. I’ve compiled a list of easy treats and clever ways to add a bit of spookiness to your next meal.
Mummy Dogs
Buy a container of crescent rolls and a package of hot dogs. Take a hot dog, the “body,” and wrap a crescent roll around it to make it appear as the mummy’s wrappings. Lay your mummy’s on a baking sheet and put in the oven at 350 degrees for about 13 minutes. For the eyes, add 2 drops of ketchup.
Fall Hugs
This easy treat is perfect to munch on while studying! Purchase a bag of Hershey hugs, candy corn and pretzels, preferably the square ones. Arrange the pretzels on a baking sheet. Top each pretzel with a hug. Place in the oven at 350 degrees until the chocolate is just melted to the pretzel. Take the pan out of the oven and top each snack with a piece of candy corn.
Candy Corn Cupcakes
Bake a batch of vanilla cupcakes and prepare a bowl of vanilla frosting. Separate the frosting into three bowls. Add food coloring to make one bowl yellow, one orange and leave the last one white. Fill a piping bag with each of the three frosting colors. To make the frosting appear as candy corn, squeeze yellow frosting on top of the cupcake. Next, squeeze orange frosting on the yellow in a slightly smaller circle. Add a dab of white frosting on top. For extra cute cupcakes, bake your cupcakes in festive wrappers that have pumpkins or ghosts on them!
Healthy Candy Corn Fruit Cup
For a healthier option, you just need pineapple chunks, mandarin oranges and some whipped cream or low fat cool whip. In a mini, clear cup, place a layer of pineapple. Next, add a spoonful of mandarin oranges. On top of your fruit, squeeze some whipped cream or a dollop of cool whip. For an added bit of sweetness, toss a few pieces of candy corn on top.
