Once again, we invited our friends and family over last weekend to partake in our annual Pumpkin Carving party. This is always a great opportunity to take in the fall weather, and also a great chance to try out the top new Pinterest-worthy snacks for a Halloween party.
And I think it was our best year yet! My favorite new snack this year was the Rice Krispie Monsters:
These were so easy – just dip Rice Krispies in Candy Melts and then add edible eyes.
Which were joined by pimento cheese sandwich ghosts:
Another easy one: using store-bought pimento cheese or any other filling, make sandwiches, then use a cookie cutter to shape. Gel icing finishes the faces.
A puking pumpkin featuring both homemade guacamole and a creamy jalapeno dip:
A puking pumpkin! Also, not pictured, his head was cut so it perfectly held a bowl for a second dip!
Halloween Trail Mix:
Halloween trail mix: take toasted Chex Mix and add Reese’s Pieces and Candy Corn!
Deviled “Dragon” Eggs:
These were NOT easy. First, you have to hard boil the eggs, then crack the shells and dye them like Easter Eggs. After they’ve been dyed, make your filling and add green gel food color, then top with black sesame seeds. Recipe here.
And finally a Dia De Los Muertos Sugar-Skull “Fruit Pizza”:
A Sugar Skull Fruit Pizza looked better before being cut into sections, but was still delicious
All the Halloween-themed snacks were a huge hit, and provided the fuel needed to create some excellent pumpkin creations!
