Does anyone have a neat Halloween recipe for treats for a Halloween party. Maybe something like spiders made out of food?
I have a recipe for very easy to make ghosts. You need a package of Nutter Butter cookies, melted white chocolate, and mini chocolate chips. Dip the cookies 3/4 of the way down in the white chocolate and let cool slightly before adding the mini chocolate chip eyes. Cool completely. Easy and delicious!
For spiders I took Ritz crackers, put some PB on it & added pretzel sticks for the legs. Then put another Ritz on top and a tiny bit more PB to stick on rasins for eyes and a few sprinkles for decorations. I don't think they would travel well, but I took the stuff to my son's PreK Halloween party and they actually made them there as a craft.
Last year I made a batch of rice krispies and added orange food coloring. I let them set a bit and then formed them into pumpkins (just not totally round balls). I added a pumpkin for the stem. You can also use a fine tip icing bag and make jack-o-lantern faces on them.

check out www.familyfun.com. Or you could make krispy treats with cocoa puffs and add black licorice legs for spiders??? have fun
Check at familyfun.com. I made carrot stick eyeballs, fingers made of carrots, almonds, and cream cheese, and lots of other good food that was creepy!
C. - a fun treat that everyone can participate in is to make a batch of rice krispie treat mix and form it into the shape of a pumpkin, stem and all. Using food coloring in white icing you can make the colors you need for a green stem, white face, or orange face, etc. I just do the stem and a face and decorate the face with candy corn. You can also purchase small tubes of frosting with a fine point to make a zigzag smile on the pumpkin or outline the face. I started this when my kids were little and they didn't want to give them out for Halloween because they liked them so much!
Rice Crispy treats as spiders. Use candy for the eyes and licorce for the legs.
I just saw a cute idea in Cookie magazine. Take and orange and cut off the top and scoop out the insides. Then carve it like a jack 0 lantern and fill with chocolate pudding. Then put the top back on. The pictures were sooo cute.
I am going to do this for our halloween party!
Last year I bought frozen sugar cookie dough, m&m's, and pretzel sticks. Cut the dough right off the log, add the m&m's for eyes. When the cookie is done, poke the pretzel sticks around the sides for legs. They turn out so cute and really good (sweet and salty). We also made spaghetti and meatballs look Halloweenish, too. I made my spaghetti like normal, but when my meatballs were done, I used green olives to make eyeballs. Just use a toothpick to hold the olive, pimento side showing. It was really cool, and I added plastic spiders and worms and it was the talk of the party! Good luck!
Check out good housekeeing.com. I was looking at aagazine in the doctors office an they had really cute ideas. One was a chocolate moon pie decorated with candy corn, Oreos, sprinkles. They were cute as decorations and then a treat to eat.
I just saw this idea in one of my parenting magazines:
Fill a clear surgical glove with one color candy and put dark licorice or candy corn at the tips of the fingers. Tie off the ends of the gloves and hang them around doors as decorations. Give them as party favors at the end of the party.
Yesterday my son and I made candy bones. Take a straight pretzel stick, put a mini marshmallow on each end, then dunk them in melted white chocolate and let harden. They are so cute and quite yummy.
I have a recipe for Oreo truffles that you could make into spiders.
1 pkg soften cream cheese
1 pkg Oreos- crushed
melted chocolate to dip into-almond bark, etc.
Mix crushed Oreos into the softened cream cheese and form into balls (however big you'd like them, 2 bites per ball works best for me). Cool in refrigerator overnight or at least 2-3 hours. Dip into melted chocolate, place back into fridge till set. To make spiders, use licorice strings and white icing to make eyes, could use red icing to put blackwidow mark on back, however you'd like to decorate.
Hope this helps. P.S. My kids teachers got these for Christmas last year and loved them. Didn't make spiders, lol, used white chocolate to drizzle zig-zag on top. My 4 yr old son calls them "chocolate meatballs" and has been asking for them since Christmas!
martha stewart has the cutest ideas!!!! check out marthstewart.com!
Our family has creepy dinner every year, right before Halloween.
Green slime - white choc. Fondue with green food coloring
Snake- cresant rolls stuffed with ham and cheese. Shaped like a snake and colored with food coloring.
Just to name a few.
Good luck and have fun.
Last year I made a "witches hand". I used clear gloves and filled each finger with a candy corn (pointed side down so it looks like a finger nail). Thne I filled the glove with popcorn. Tied off the end with curly ribbon. I added a spider ring on one of the fingers. U've also done cupcakes with white icing. Then use black icing to make a spider web and add a spider ring. Have fun!
Since your kids are a little older, they may enjoy a jello brain. They sell the molds here and there (I saw some at Albertson's the other day.), and you use 2 boxes of jello to fill it. It comes out all wrinkly and gray, just like a real brain. Teenagers love it. : )
