Halloween Food Ideas

Need a fun and easy idea for dinner on Halloween? My friend Mauri had a neighborhood Halloween party for the kiddos and I helped her with the lunch. We had so much fun eating yummy treats and playing fun games. Here's a sampling of the food to give you some fun and easy ideas.

Mini mummy pizzas:These are not actually mine; I forgot to take pictures as I was hurrying to get them finished. This picture I just found on the web. I think mine were cuter, but you get the idea!

Mummy hotdogs: Sorry this pic is so small; another from the web.

Now for the treats:

Witch's Hats

(fudge stripe cookies and a hershey kiss)

And Ghost cookies

(Nutter Butters dipped in melted white chocolate and mini choc. chip eyes! Mia loved helping with the eyes! The skewers were kind of annoying. I did some without and they were just as cute!)

And I think for our dinner this Halloween we are going to have pumpkin pancakes (orange batter and choc. chips to make the jack-o-lantern face). I will most likely make regular round pumpkins, but I found this tip:

To make pumpkin shaped pancakes, spray inside of pumpkin shaped cookie cutter with no-stick cooking spray. Place on hot skillet. Fill with 1/4 cup batter, cooking for 2 1/2 minutes. Carefully remove cookie cutter (it will be hot). Flip pancake to cook other side.

Why not for breakfast you ask? Our breakfast usually consists of a breakfast bar or bag of cereal which can be taken in the car :)

One of my college friends did a super cute dinner and posted it on her blog here. It's a Mr. Bones dinner. You make a veggie head/fingers/toes, spaghetti intestines, and breadstick bones. Check it out! So cute if you have the energy!

Hope you all have a very Happy Halloween!
