Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party of simply want to make some spooky fun for your family, we have a couple of fun ideas for you. They can be made even more festive with this skeleton platter.
Witch fingers for lunch/dinner, and graveyard dip for dessert. Sounds tasty, right? It’s not like the kids need coercing when it comes time to enjoy pizza and candy, but we made it just a little more exciting. Here’s how:
Witch Finger Pizza
Ingredients:
Frozen pizza
Fruit leather / red bell pepper / other food cut into nail shaped triangles
After baking the pizza, let rest for a few minutes to cool slightly. When cooled, use a pizza cutter to make long thin slices of pizza I made long cuts about a half inch apart lengthwise before I sliced the pizza in half horizontally. This will give you the witch “fingers”.
As for the nails, you can use pretty much anything you have that can be cut into a triangle shape since nails can be any color. I like black, red or green for the nails. Use what you’ve got. I decided on cutting fruit leathers to make the “fingernails”.
Graveyard Candy Dip:
Ingredients:
8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Nestle Crunch Candies, chopped
*I doubled this recipe to use with my 9″x9″ serving dish.
Mix the cream cheese, sugar and vanillas very well. Spoon into serving an 8×8″ square dish.
Add chopped candy to the top making the graveyard appearance complete. You can now add decorations like tombstones and such, and serve with sliced apples or pretzels.
It only took about 13 (funny!) or so fun size crunch bars to make the “dirt”. Then a few more for the tombstones.
These would be great additions to any Halloween party menu. Don’t you think?
These are such cute ideas! What I like best is that they are so simple and I love anything with candy or pizza!
These are really cute, I love both foods, so I think it will be adorable for Halloween.
I am sooooo going to make these for Halloween! My family will love them!
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
and now each time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the
same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Many thanks!
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from
an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog?
I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to start.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? With thanks
