If you are having a Halloween party, you need festive foods!
Here are some simple recipes to make for your seniors’ Halloween party:
1. Ghost Cupcakes
Use marshmallows, mini marshmallows, and chocolate sprinkles to make adorable, edible, and festive cupcake toppers. This recipe uses homemade cupcakes, but you could easily use store bought and have seniors decorate their own for a great party activity.
2. Spider Cookies
These sweet and spooky treats can be decorated by seniors or made beforehand for your Halloween party. Based on this recipe, the cookies contain peanut butter, so be careful of any allergies.
3. Tangerine Pumpkins
If you’re looking for a healthier Halloween party food, check out these tangerine pumpkins. Just use tangerines and celery to create this simple but cute snack.
4. Candy Corn Fruit Cup
Another fruit-based snack, this recipe uses the classic candy corn as inspiration. Make this simple treat with canned pineapple and mandarin oranges as well as whipped cream or yogurt. The image on the site uses a mason jar, but you could easily use clear plastic cups instead if you have a large party to serve.
5. Ghost Pops
For another Halloween party snack made with fruit, these banana ghost pops are an easy one to make. Half of a banana on a popsicle stick, yogurt, shredded coconut, and mini chocolate chips are all you need. Like other snacks, you can either have seniors prepare these themselves, or make them in a large batch for the party.
6. Harvest Trail Mix
Trail mix is a great and easy party snack, especially if you’re feeding a large crowd. Check out this recipe for ideas on what to include in your Halloween party snack, but feel free to make any changes.
7. Deviled Spider Eggs
For something savory, make any deviled egg recipe and top with black olives to make little spiders. See that recipe for a guide on how to cut the olives.
8. Mini Mummy Pizzas
Another savory Halloween party snack are these mini mummy pizzas. Use English muffins as the crust for an easy alternative to rolling out pizza dough (but if you’re willing to put in the effort or want larger pizzas, using dough is fine). Use mozzarella string cheese to make easy bandages along with olives for eyes, and add other desired toppings to make these adorable spooky snacks.
9. Strawberry Ghosts
While this treat is simple, it is still cute and tasty! This recipe uses white candy coating uses white candy coating, but you could replace that with white chocolate or even yogurt (be sure to freeze if using yogurt). Use extra coating to form the ghosts’ tails and stick on mini chocolate chips for the spooky face, and that’s all you have to do for this Halloween party snack!
10. Dracula Dentures
These sweet treats could make a great crafting activity and a great snack. Though it is a little more complex to make than some of the other snacks on this list, how it looks makes it worth the effort. While this recipe uses a tube of cookie dough, you can use store bought cookies to save on some work.
Be sure to get creative with these recipes and take inspiration from them to make your own Halloween party snacks!
