Halloween Party Food – Detoxinista

Turn classic appetizers and snacks into fun Halloween Party Food! This collection of Halloween recipes will impress your guests without too much effort on your part.

These fun Halloween food ideas are no more labor-intensive than any other appetizer or dip you might make for a party. Paired with fun Halloween decorations, they will make you look like the ultimate party hostess!

(Or a guest who brings something extraordinary.)

Some of these ideas are pretty darn healthy, too, which may help balance out the Halloween candy.

Halloween Snacks & Appetizers

1. Spider Web Bean Dip

Give your favorite dip an adorable spider web look with this easy tutorial. If bean dip isn’t your favorite, use queso or guacamole as the base, instead. 

2. Puking Pumpkin

If you’re going to carve a pumpkin this year, why not incorporate it into your spread?

This pumpkin looks like he’s responsible for the party dip, thanks to the simple carving look. Serve with tortilla chips and sliced veggies for a snack that will disappear before trick or treating. 

3. Jack-O-Lantern Veggie Tray

Offering sliced veggies and dip is a thoughtful option during candy season, but it doesn’t have to look boring! Arrange carrot slices or baby carrots on a large platter, and add celery on top to look like a pumpkin stem.

Use sliced cucumber or red peppers to create a smile. The dip bowls will create adorable eyes and complete your look. 

4. Mummy Pizza Bites

Cut your favorite pizza crust or pastry into bite-sized rectangles and decorate it with string cheese or sliced white cheese for a mummy look. Place a couple of sliced black olives on top and it will look like a spooky mummy.

This savory snack bakes in just 10 minutes for a warm appetizer. 

5. Witch Finger Pretzels

Turn pretzel dough into spooky witch fingers when you top each piece with a sliced almond. My recipe is gluten-free, but you can use any other dough you love. Serve with your favorite honey mustard sauce or cheese dip, and these will disappear fast!

Halloween Desserts & Sweets

6. Mummy Granola Bars

You can decorate store-bought granola bars if you need to save time, but my peanut butter granola bars are quick to make and taste even better. Top these with melted chocolate, coconut chips, and candy eyes for an adorable treat that kids love. 

Alternate idea: Melt white chocolate and decorate the granola bars to look like ghosts. You could also do this over rice crispy treats, instead.

7. Halloween Cupcakes

Who needs food coloring when you can make frosting out of sweet potatoes? They conveniently come in orange and purple hues, so make a batch of sweet potato frosting to make a colorful dessert spread.

Use any cake recipe you love to make the cupcakes! 

8. Lychee Eyeball Punch

Did you know that you can make simple eyeballs with fruit? Stuff a fresh blueberry into a canned lychee for this quick look. You can serve them on the side so guests can add them to their favorite cocktail, or freeze them for an ice substitute.

They look spooky floating in the punch! 

9. Witch Finger Cookies

Adding matcha (powdered green tea) to your favorite shortbread cookie will turn them naturally green, without artificial food dye. Shape the cookies into logs and add an almond finger nail at the end for a spooky cookie that tastes amazing.

10. Apple Monster Mouths

Instead of simply serving apple slices with peanut butter, turn them into these spooky monster mouths! Spread peanut butter or caramel in the center and finish the look with hulled sunflower seeds or almonds for teeth.
