Halloween cooking!

I'm having a party on Saturday, and I'm trying to make my menu more Halloween-y. Any suggestions? Or do you think it's Halloweeny enough? Is anyone else making anything fun and worth sharing?

caramel fondue (with apples)

mummy sausages (sausages wrapped with strips of Pillsbury crescent roll dough, to look like a mummy)

Bakerella's spider bites

witch finger cookies (cookies shaped like fingers, with dyed-red almonds as "fingernails")

mini spinach quiches, baked in a pumpkin shaped muffin tin

grilled chicken skewers with peanut teriyaki sauce

pumpkin bread

apple cheesecake tart

spicy kettle corn

cheddar cheese muffins

candy corn martini

pumpkin martini

hot spiced apple cider

Re: Halloween cooking!

  • Oh wow, you're making a lot! Maybe you are having more people than I am, but we're having a party and I don't think there will be as much food as that hahaha.

  • That sounds delicious!  I am so hungry right now and this list isn't helping.  I love the mummy sausages idea.

    Things look pretty Halloween-y already.  The only thing I don't see represented is maybe a ghost?  Could you make the apple cheesecake tarts ghosty?  Those seem like the most white thing.

    I'm making spider web cupcakes.  I'm just going to pipe a web on the top and put a chocolate spider on.  I hope they turn out like I am imagining!

  • Wow, you're making a lot!  I think it all sounds great and plenty Halloweeny already.  Have a great time!
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • You know what? I *am* making a lot. I wonder if I should rethink the menu. We're having 11 people, but 4 are leaving early to take their kids trick or treating. Hmm. However, I do like having party leftovers.

    Maybe I'll nix the muffins and make half a batch of quiche (about 8-10 muffin-sized quiches)

  • I thought you were having like 40 people over with that menu!  I have that same habit of wanting to make too much food for a party.  There are just so many fun ideas out there. 
  • That all looks delicious and halloweeny enough for me!
