MUMMY PIGS IN A BLANKET

Possibly the king of all Halloween finger foods, mummy pigs-in-blankets are spooky, yummy, and spectacular. There are lots of variations on how to make these—some folks like to add arms and legs, others choose not to; there is debate over whether cheese or jalapeños make better eyes—and there many fun ways to display them.

Strawberry mummies are a fun and easy Halloween party food. Strawberries, white chocolate and candy eyes are all you need to create a “boo-tiful” sweet treat!

PORK RIBCAGE

If you’re going for a more formal, sit-down dinner Halloween party (do those exist?), you may want to consider something more substantial than Halloween finger foods. That’s where something like this amazing ribcage recipe will be fantastic. Visually exciting and savory, these ribs will be very popular.

SHRIMP BRAINS WITH BLOODY MARY COCKTAIL SAUCE

Shrimp Cocktail molded into a brain shape and wrapped in medicinal gauze turns a classic into one bloody creepy presentation.

SPOOKY SPIDER GOAT CHEESE LOG

Crushed Black Peppercorn Coated Goat Cheese is as easy to make as it is delicious. Divide (20) ounces of goat cheese into two balls – 1/3 for the head and 2/3 for the body. Roll each ball in the peppercorns to coat. On a serving board, press the balls together and shape to form the head and body of the spider. Use painted black twigs for the spider legs. Cut a piquillo pepper into 2 small triangles and place them on the body in an hourglass shape and now you have a black widow ready to your guests.

DEVIL-ED EGGS

Deviled eggs are a popular party finger food and there are a few ways to jazz them up for Halloween. A little paprika paste and a paint brush can transform hard-boiled eggs into spider webs; a sliced olive quickly turns an egg into a creepy-crawly spider!

MONSTER EYES

Deviled eggs are always one of the most popular items at a party, and these monster eye deviled eggs are so fun and creative for Halloween. Plus, you get to combine egg yolks with avocado—an absolute match made in Heaven!

A VILLAINOUS HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL RECIPE

This green apple vodka cocktail will break the ice at any haunted gathering. Inspired by a favorite cult classic, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, this drink has all the right elements to make it Oogie Boogie-approved.

OOGIE BOOGIE HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL RECIPE

  • 25 ounces Green Apple Vodka
  • 25 ounces Sour Mix
  • Lemon-Lime Soda
  • Black Rimming Sugar
  • Candy Worms

First, flip your glass upside down and dip into a shallow bowl filled with water, or use a lemon or lime wedge to rim the edge of the glass.

Pour your rimming sugar onto a plate.

Again with your glass upside down, dip your wet glass rim into the rimming sugar on the plate. Flip your glass back around and you have a very cool, and perfectly ghoulish, cocktail rim. Pretty easy, right?

Next, add ice, vodka, and sour mix to a shaker.

Shake and then strain into the sugar rimmed martini glass.

Top with sprite and garnish with candy worms.
