Halloween Party Snacks

Halloween Party Snacks:

The spooky season is upon us! Every great Halloween party has themed foods and snacks. But sometimes, doing all that work just for some spooky snacks seems like a hassle! We’ve put together a list of some simple, fun, and delicious snacks for your Halloween party.

First up are these super simple spider crackers!

Ingredients

• 1 box of snack crackers
• Creamy peanut butter
• Small pretzel sticks
• Icing
• Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Cut 4 pretzel sticks in half. Then spread peanut butter onto a cracker. Place the four halves into the peanut butter so they stick out like spider legs.
2. Place another cracker on top, and give it two dollops of icing for eyes. Then place a mini chocolate chip on the top of each eye.

Next are these spicy, spooky, mummy jalapeno poppers. They’ll be a hit

Ingredients

• Ten jalapeño peppers, sliced in half lengthwise and pith/ seeds removed. Leave the stem if you can on some or all of the halves.
• Eight ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• Eight ounces jack cheese, shredded
• One scallion (green onion), finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Candy eyeballs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven 400° F. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, jack cheese, scallion and salt until well blended.
2. Roll out the crescent rolls and separate into 4 rectangles (not triangles) with a perforation in the middle of each. Press your fingers into the perforations to seal them. Using a pizza cutter, cut each rectangle into 10 long pieces lengthwise.
3. Fill each jalepeño half with the cheese mixture. Wrap each jalapeño half with the dough, leaving a space for the eyes. Use two pieces of dough if necessary. Brush with egg mixture and place on baking sheet.
4. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and press the eyes into the cheese where the opening is. Serve immediately.

For a sweeter treat, we’ve got white chocolate strawberry ghosts!

Ingredients

• 1 bag of white chocolate chips
• 1 bag of milk chocolate chips
• Whole strawberries

Instructions

1. Lay down a sheet of parchment paper for your strawberries to rest on.
2. Melt the white chocolate and the milk chocolate separately using either a microwave or your stove.
3. Wash and dry the strawberries and dip them in the white chocolate. Make sure to drag them a little on the parchment paper before you set them down. This will give them a nice little tail.
4. Once the white chocolate has dried. Put the melted milk chocolate into a piping bag, or a ziplock bag with a small corner cut off. Pipe two eyes and mouth onto each strawberry ghost.
5. Let them dry and serve for dessert!
