Halloween is a great time to get creative with spooktacular foods! Some foods take more effort than others. I will start by listing the treats that are easier to make with their recipe link. On another post I will put more extravagant recipes that take longer to concoct.
Add a little candy corn to your chex mix treat! You can easily add candy corn and pumpkins, gummies, or any other Halloween treats. The one below also has honey bears- yum!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups Corn Chex and 4 cups wheat chex
- 2 Cups of cinnamon Teddy Grahams
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (melted)
- 6 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 cups of candy corn/pumpkins or whatever amount you like!
- 2 cups of chocolate covered pretzels (or regular)
- 2 cups sweet potato chips (or whatever type you prefer)
- 1 cups of reese’s pieces or m&ms
Directions
-
- Preheat oven to 250°. In a large bowl, combine Corn Chex, Wheat Chex, and Teddy Grahams. In a small bowl, mix butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla.
- Drizzle about one-third of butter mixture over Chex mixture. Toss to coat, then repeat with remaining butter mixture until every component is coated.
- Divide Chex mixture between 2 unlined rimmed baking sheets; spread in an even layer.
- Bake Chex Mix, tossing every 15 minutes, until toasted and crisp, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Let cool, then mix in candy corn, pretzels, sweet potato chips, and Reese’s pieces.
- Make Ahead: Chex Mix can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
If you prefer nuts and cinnamon toast cereal- then this bowl is for you!
Spaghetti with eyes! AHHH
- Make your spaghetti and meatballs and sauce as usual.
- To give the spaghetti the twirled “nest” look, just twist big scoops spaghetti with a fork in a ladle
- Use olives and canned black cut up olives on top of mozzarella slices.
- Serve with a side of parmesan cheese for sprinkling.
Pasta pumpkins! Cut the top of the pepper off and carve in the features! Then cook the pasta and sauce and scoop it all into the pepper.
Mummy Garlic Bread!
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
- Use italian bread cut in half long way (of buy premade garlic bread). If making own you can smother it in butter and place garlic powder/garlic precut on the bread.
- cut up some strips of mozzarella cheese (strips of string cheese work well too).
- Place them on a bakery garlic bread or home made
- Heat the bread in the oven at 375 degrees for about 5 minutes.
- Finally, add a couple olive slices for “eyes”.
Ghost Bananas and clementine pumpkins!
- All you need to do is use celery of the clementine and mini chocolate chips for the eyes of the ghost and a regular sized chocolate chip for the mouth! Kids love them!
Toes! Just use hot dogs- either cut up regular size or mini hot dogs. Cook them up and wrap them with cut up tortillas! You can also cook them in the oven with crescent rolls like the next recipe of mummy hot dogs! Then place mustard on strategically to make nails!

If you prefer to go healthier, you can make fingers or toes from carrots with cutting s small area on the top or bottom of the carrot and using hummus and putting on a sliced almond! You can also use cream cheese and cut up peppers!
Another hot dog recipe! This time it is for a worm sandwich! This time you slice the hot dogs into long strips and boil them until they curl- then add ketchup!
Spider Deviled eggs!
- Make your deviled eggs as you usually do, then add olives to make the spiders- such a cute and easy idea!
Pumpkin seeds take a little more work as you dig them out of your pumpkin, clean them and let them dry- but well worth it! This website has 10 great seasonings and ways to roast them- try it this year- you won’t regret it!
