Preparation

1. Spiders Dipped in Blood: Slice hot dogs with a knife from both ends to almost the middle several times. Boil and the ends curl up to look like spider legs.

2. Fried Fingers with a Side of Guts: Chili fries.

3. Mummy Dogs: Hot dogs wrapped with croissant dough cut into thin strips and two dots of mustard or ketchup for the eyes.

4. Hand-burgers: Cut beef patties in the shape of hands. Use Mustard for fingernails. Drizzle with ketchup for veins. Have burger fixings available for assembling and give each guest a "hand"

Halloween Party Ideas for Drinks:

5. Hands Floating in Blood: Fill several Laytex gloves with water, sprite or strawberry soda and freeze. Float them in a big bowl of red punch. This'll chill the drink while freaking everybody out.

6. Slimy Punch: Pour Mountain Dew into a punch bowl and add green Sherbert

Halloween Party Ideas for Treats:

7. Dracula's Teeth with Witch's Blood: Nachos and cheese. Add green food coloring to the melted cheese for a great effect.

8. Krispie Eyes: Make Rice Krispie Treats (directions are on the cereal box). Form them into small balls, add an M&M or other small round candy for the iris, and dot the candy with frosting or gel for the pupil.

9. Cat Litter: Mix Grapenuts with powdered sugar and pour the cat litter into a container which resembles a litter box. Add Tootsie rolls or squished brownies and stir in with a clean, unused cat litter scoop or use a slotted spoon or cookie lifter.

10. Spider Oreos: Separate the two parts of an Oreo cookie, put three strands of licorice across the cookie and put the top of the cookie back on. Use two dots of icing to anchor red hots or M&Ms for the eyes.

11. Peeling Flesh Caramel Candy Apples

Cover Candy apples with Caramel, allowing some of the red to be seen through the caramel coating. If using solid caramel wraps you can really make it look likt the skin is falling off by cutting into the caramel at random and peeling back the pieces. You can decorate these to look like zombies if desired. Add marshmallows and M&Ms for eyes, gummy body parts for nose and ears, wax lips and candy corns or white Chiklets to make a mouth, licorice string for hair, etc. Go nuts and have fun with these!

12. Candy "Hand"-outs

Fill transparent Laytex gloves with candy corn and tie at the top with ribbon or licorice string.

13. Bugs on a Log: Take a celery stick, smother with peanut butter, and add little ants (raisins). Another variation is to dip a pretzel rod halfway into peanut butter and roll in chocolate chips.

14. Worms in Dirt: Chocolate pudding cups covered with crumbled Oreo cookies topped with gummy worms or bugs and candy rocks or pumpkins. If you wanna get really creative, make coffins out of chocolate and fill with the pudding mixture. Use vienna fingers or Milano cookies coated with grey frosting for tombstones and write an epitaph using black writing gel or icing.

15. Creepy Jell-O

Use Laytex gloves to make different colored Jell-O hands. Another awesome Jell-O idea is to use a full-face party mask as the mold. Plug any holes in the mask and spray the inside with non-stick spray. Depending on the size of the mask, mix up a couple boxes of Jell-O (usually about 4) with about a 1/4 cup of milk to give it a more realistic look. Add some Gumi worms to the mixture and refrigerate. When the Jell-O has set, carefully remove the mask.

16. Spidery Halloween Deviled Eggs

Peel hard-boiled eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and mash with mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper. Spoon the filling into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika. Garnish each deviled egg with a black olive half and cut another olive into 8 pieces for the legs, assembling to look like a spider.

17. Frozen Jack-O-Lanterns Halloween Food Idea

12 Navel oranges

12 Cinnamon sticks or chocolate covered pretzel sticks

1/2 Gallon Dark chocolate or lemon ice cream

Cut off tops of oranges. Gently hollow out pulp (reserve for another use), leaving a thick shell; hollow out pulp off tops also. Cut Jack-O-Lantern faces into each orange. Pack ice cream into shells, avoid letting ice cream come out of holes. Cut a hole into top of orange top. Set tops back on, over ice cream, and insert cinnamon stick stem through the hole. Place in freezer for at least 3 hours, or until serving time.

18. Lollipop Ghosts for Halloween

Cover Toostie pops with a Kleenex or tissue paper. Tie a bow around the neck with black or orange ribbon. Draw a ghost face on the head. Hang from the ceiling over the snack table or arrange in a Halloween pail.

19. Dried Scabs

Dried cranberries

20. Sweet Mummies

Twinkies covered with white frosting

21. Spider Bread with Gooey Spider Eggs

Take refrigerated bread dough and shape it into a body and head of a spider, then do the same to make legs, then cook it on 375 degrees for twenty minutes. Then cut a circle in the abdomen of spider, and place 8 cooked jalapeno peppers in the circle. Then take marinara sauce and call it spider guts!

22. Devilled Eyeballs

Make devilled eggs. Sprinkle with paprika. garnish each with one green olive, pimientos up for the pupils.

23. Baked eyeballs

Using biscuit dough, shape into balls. Press an olive into each ball, pimientos up. Bake according to package directions. If desired, drizzle melted butter mixed with red food coloring over dough before adding olives for a veiny effect.

24. Edible Ghosts

Stack 2 or 3 marshmallows on a wooden toothpick, skewer or pretzel stick. Cover with rolled white fondant. Decorate eyes and mouth with black frosting or writing gel.

25. "Gingerbread" Crypts

Assemble Graham crackers like a house. Frost with grey frosting. Decorate with chocolate covered sugar cone pieces for windows, black licorice string for barbed wire, spider webs and wrought iron gate, green fruit rollups cut to look like grass, white M&M's with red frosting dots for mushrooms, black M&M's for spiders, etc.
