Halloween Eats and Treats

Have a spooky and memorable time with these Festive Halloween Eats and Treats. Most of these are easy to make and only require a few ingredients.

These Halloween inspired foods are fun to eat, and they help balance out all the sugar kids typically get. I love these recipes because they look really cute, but are actually easy to make.

Hot Dog Spiders

These cute hot dog spiders are both fun and easy to make! I’ve been making them for years, and my kids still love them.

You’ll Need: Hot Dogs, Crescent Roll Tube, Black Sesame Seeds.

• Take a bun length hot dog, cut in half, then cut 4 slits on each side for the spider legs, ensuring part of the middle is still in tact.
• Then place in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Boil for a few minutes for the ‘legs’ to spread apart. This helps remove some excess grease too. Then drain the water, and remove the hot dogs.
• Wrap a small piece of crescent dough in the middle and place 2 black sesame seeds for the eyes.
• Bake at 350° F for 12-14 minutes.

Jack o Lantern Quesadilla

These Jack o Lantern Quesadillas are also easy to make and can be served with salsa (to look like blood) or guacamole (to look like green goo). My kids love these!

You’ll Need: Flour Tortillas, Shredded Cheese, and a Pairing Knife.

• With a pairing knife, cut out the eyes and mouth of a jack o’ lantern.
• Add shredded cheese to a second tortilla then place the cut out one on top. Use cheddar cheese to make it look more orange.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 ° F oven for 10 minutes or until melted.

Cinnamon Sugar Jack o Lantern

For a sweet take on a Jack o lantern tortilla, try these Cinnamon Sugar ones.

You’ll Need: Flour Tortillas, melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.

• With a pairing knife, cut out the eyes and mouth of a jack o’ lantern.
• Brush both sides of the tortilla with melted butter and bake at 350° F for 8 minutes or until both sides are golden.
• Brush the crispy tortilla with more melted butter and immediately sprinkle on cinnamon and sugar.

Nutter Butter Ghosts

These Nutter Butter Ghosts are a great last minute treat if you need to bring one for a party.

You’ll Need: Nutter Butter Cookies, white melting chocolate, and mini chocolate chips.

• Melt the white melting chocolate. If it is too thick add a few drops of vegetable oil to help it thin out.
• Dip the Nutter Butter Cookies and place on a piece of parchment paper. Add mini chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth.
• Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.

Oreo Bats

Oreo Bats are fun treat that’s great for kids to do on their own.

You’ll Need: Oreo Cookies and mini chocolate chips.

• Separate the Oreo to have the cream on one side.
• Break the cookie with no cream in half.
• Use a butter knife to scrape off half of the cream.
• Place the 2 cookie halves on the cream to form wings.
• Roll 2 balls with the scrapped off cream to make the eyes.
• Place 2 mini chocolate chips on the cream for the eyeballs.

Conchas or Pan Dulce

If you’re looking for an Adult Dessert that goes perfect with coffee, try making Conchas. These do require some time to prep and the dough needs to rise, but the extra effort is definitely worth it!

I hope these give you some inspiration for a Fun and Festive Halloween. You don’t need to work hours on decorations or food, just a few minutes for Halloween Magic.
