Adult Halloween parties are sweeping the nation. Here are some ideas for easy, creative Halloween treats to bring to your favorite Boo Bash
Every year there are more and more Halloween parties for adults. Kids have Halloween night to collect treats, so nowadays grown-ups want to get dressed up and scare up some fun as well.
These are some easy, creative, inexpensive Halloween party food ideas for adult parties.
Halloween Party Food: Eyeball Donuts
You'll need a box of (any flavor) donut holes, a bag of white chocolate melting chips, a box of Life Saver Gummies candy, a bag of Plain M&Ms, and a tube of red decorating gel. Melt the chocolate (mix with a few spoonfuls of milk to thin if necessary) and dip the donut holes. When they are cool, place a red LIfe Saver Gummy on the top, with a blue or green or brown M&M in the middle of it. Add squiggly lines for the 'veins' of the eyeball. Adults will love this Halloween party treat!
Skewered Antipasto Pumpkin
Start with a large pumpkin. You'll need barbecue skewers, various varieties of olives, marinated peppers, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese balls, sliced chunks of salami, etc. Be creative! Skewer the items and stick the skewers all around the pumpkin. This is an easy, creative, delicious Halloween food for adult parties.
Halloween Sweets: Candy Spiderwebs
This treat is easy and yummy! Place a large piece of wax paper on your counter. Simply cut black licorice strings into 4 equal sized pieces (about 4 inches in length) and make 2 interlocking 'x's' to resemble a spider web. Melt some chocolate chips. Use a pastry bag with a fine tip and draw a swirl with the melted chocolate, connecting the 'web' together. When they dry, you will have attractive, tasty spider webs for your adult Halloween party.
Hot Dog Roll Gravestones
This is an easy trick for your adult Halloween party. Cover a plate with lettuce. Simply take Hot Dog Rolls, fill with your favorite salad (chicken salad, seafood salad, tuna salad) and cut in half. Place the sandwiches with the oval ends up. Decorate your 'gravestones' with the letters "R.I.P." written, of course, in mustard! You can also make 'finger sandwitches' by slicing bread into finger sized pieces and adding a sliced almond for the 'fingernails'.
Witch Hat Cookies
These would look great next to the spiderwebs and are a completely easy, creative, inexpensive Halloween treat for your adult (or kids!) party. Buy fudge stripe cookies (with the hole in the middle) and Hershey's kisses. Use chocolate icing to stick the Hershey's kiss in the middle of the fudge striped cookies and they make the most adorable witch hats! If you are feeling creative, take a tube of orange icing and make a ribbon/bow around each kiss.
Quick tip: If you take a clear plastic glove, fill it with red food coloring in water and freeze it- you will have a great frozen hand to float in your party punch! Click here for creative Halloween party drinks.
