Whether you are thinking about after-school homework sessions, or a weekend treat, these snacks are great for the whole family.
- Mummy Dogs
Mummy dogs are easy to make and super festive. To make these delightful snacks, simply wrap crescent roll dough around a hot dog to make them look like little mummies. Remember to leave the small gaps for the eyes and add a drop of mustard or sliced olives to complete the look. This easy finger food is easy with a spooky twist!
- Jack-o’-Lantern Quesadillas
What is easier than making a quesadilla? Just remember to cut out a Jack-o’-lantern face in the tortilla before placing on top of the cheesy filling. Serve with guacamole for dipping. What to get the kids in on the fun? Let them cut out their own faces! If you have younger children, use small cookie cutter shapes to make the job easier. - Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs are fun and so simple to make; adding just an extra step or two to your favorite deviled egg recipe! Simply prepare your classic deviled eggs, but when mixing the filling add in orange food coloring to tin the yolk filled. Go another step by adding a small chive piece as a stem for your pumpkin! Such a healthy, protein-packed option that still feels festive.
- Halloween Shaped Mini Pizzas
These small pizzas are great snacks and a fun twist on a classic food. Roll out your pizza dough and use cookie cutters in the shape of ghosts, pumpkins, bats and more. Perfect for a party appetizer or after-school snack.
- Witch’s Broomsticks
Pretzel sticks poked into string cheese cut into strips to look like broom bristles is an easy and tasty way to add some spooky flair to your snacking! Want to add a ribbon around the base? Use a thin chive or green onion and tie it around the “bristles.” This no-bake option is salty, cheesy and festive!
