Halloween treats aren’t just reserved for trick-or-treaters; they’re a must-have from parties to school lunches and even the office.

Tips for Halloween Snacks
1. Halloween Parties: If you’re throwing a Halloween party, snacks are an absolute MUST. They set the spooky mood and keep your guests fueled for a night of fun! From pumpkin snack boards to mummy meatloaf, Halloween snacks can be both delicious and eerily entertaining. Plus, they make for great conversation starters!
2. Kids’ Lunches: Don’t forget the little goblins! A Halloween-themed snack can add a dose of excitement to your kiddo’s lunchbox. Ghost-shaped marshmallow pops, bat-shaped sandwiches, and carrot fingers with “blood” ranch can turn an ordinary school day into a thrilling adventure.
3. Office Treats: Halloween snacks are also a hit in the workplace. Consider setting up a communal snack table with a variety of Halloween treats. Try pumpkin-shaped whoopie pies or witches’ broomstick breadsticks to lift spirits in the office.
4. SO’s Lunchbox: Surprise your spouse with a little Halloween magic in their lunchbox. A love note and a few Halloween-themed snacks, like vampire teeth apple slices or Oreo bats, can brighten up their day and remind them of how fun Halloween is as kids.
5. Movie Nights: Halloween snacks aren’t just for special occasions. Enjoy a cozy movie night with friends or family and elevate your popcorn game with Halloween-themed popcorn or “bloody” tomato soup.
6. Classroom Treats: For teachers and parents, Halloween snacks are a creative way to celebrate the season with the little ones. Whether it’s for a classroom party or a simple treat, mini-mummies, monster eyeball cake pops, and other spooky snacks can make the day SO FUN for the kids.
7. Neighborly Gestures: Surprise your neighbors with a spooky goodie bag filled with Halloween snacks. It’s a fantastic way to strengthen community bonds and share the Halloween spirit with those around you.
1. Mummy Hot Dogs
Honestly, if you manage to sneak in some savory food at Halloween – job well done! Let these hotdog mummies help you with that.
They’re really easy to make and take only a few ingredients: hot dogs, packaged crescent dough, candy eyes, and a slice of cheese.
You could also use sliced olives for the eyes.
Try farmer’s sausage or veggie dogs instead of hot dogs for a delicious swap, too.
2. Halloween-o Jalapeño Poppers
Another take on mummies, but with vegetables! These have a pop of flavor with jalapeños and pepper jack cheese; likely a welcome addition to all the sugar around Halloween.
But, if you don’t want to use jalapeños, you can use smaller-sized, or mini, bell peppers.
Use any cheese mix that works for you and your guests!
3. Meatball Mummies
Yes, another easy savory recipe! Hooray!
These are so cute and you’ll need just four ingredients. The original recipe calls for frozen meatballs, but you can always use homemade and season them to your liking.
4. Mozzarella Halloween Pumpkins
Calling all cheese lovers! These are delicious. Orange snacks are so fun.
For a dairy-free version, you could get creative with vegan cheese, and vegan chip crumbs for the coating.
5. Mummified Garlic Bread
Delicious on their own or served on the side of spaghetti, these mummy garlic breads are sure to keep the vampires away.
For our vegan friends: this is another one that could easily be made into dairy-free Halloween snacks by swapping for vegan ingredients.
6. Graveyard Taco Dip
This would be awesome at a Halloween party, but so cute as a lunchtime surprise, too! Just make a smaller portion in a reusable container and pack it to go.
For a plant-based Halloween snack, swap the sour cream for a dairy-free version.
7. The Puking Pumpkin
A twist on chips and guac! SO funny. Kids and adults of all ages will get a kick out of this presentation.
You could swap the guac for virtually any type of chip dip you like, too. There are no rules for Halloween!
8. Witch’s Broomstick Snacks
Need an easy appy idea? Try these cheese broomsticks!
They’re a simple but healthy Halloween appy. I made these for a Halloween kids’ party and everyone loved them.
They’re literally so easy to make, great for picky eaters, and hey – not junk food!

Get some pizza dough and use Halloween shapes to make mini pizzas!
This is a great activity to get the kids involved. Make a pizza station for a Halloween party or before the kids go out trick-or-treating.
Top with your favorite cheeses and veggie shapes to decorate them, like bell peppers for spider legs, or olives for eyes.
12. Cheeto Monster
Need a creative Halloween snack to bring to a party? Get a styrofoam block as a base, stick cheetos into it with toothpicks, and decorate with eyes and an antennae made from pipe cleaners. Ta-da! Cheeto monster!
Don’t forget to include a second bowl of cheetos for easy grabbing.
13. Spider Taco Ring
This is a really cool and unique dish to bring to a Halloween party.
You’ll need 3 cans of crescent dough and regular taco fillings and toppings.
This one is very easily made vegetarian too – just substitute the meat for an additional can of black beans, or use veggie ground round.
14. Healthy Halloween Nachos
Cut Halloween shapes out of fresh tortillas using cookie cutters, bake them in the oven, and serve with fresh guacamole, corn and bean mix, and salsa.
It can be challenging to eat healthy around Halloween, but well-rounded recipes like this make it easier!
15. Ghost Chips
These are so cool. You’ll only need oil and spices, tortillas, a knife, and a wooden skewer to make them!
Serve with your favorite sides, like guacamole, hummus, spinach or crab rangoon dip.
16. Witch Finger Cookies
These cookies are too good! They look like witch fingers but they’re actually delicious strawberry almond cookies your guests will be happy to eat.
Bonus: they’re all-natural and made using jam, not food dye.
This is a great way to bring Halloween spirit to your table.
17. Snakes And Soup
If you have a favorite home made tomato soup recipe, let it shine in this fun dish!
The snakes are made from refrigerated breadstick dough wrapped around wooden dowels and baked in the oven. Sprinkle with poppy seeds or sesame seeds for the scaly finishing touch.

Make meatloaf into these little mummies! Then pipe mashed potatoes on top with a piping bag fitted with a 1/2-in. ribbon tip, and put two green peas for the eyes.
This would be super easy to make vegetarian too.
These would be great for a Halloween party, or to send your love in a lunch!

These are the cutest little Halloween snacks, and are ridiculously easy to make.

Make mini ones for the kiddos and watch their faces light up!
21. Monster Sandwiches
This puts an adorable twist on the sandwich scene.
Use a round cookie cutter (or glass jar with a knife) and cut the center out of your bread slices. Then decorate using cheese with jagged edges, and the meats and condiments your guests would like. Top with two pimento olives on toothpicks. Ta-dah! Monster sandwich!
These are perfect for your spouse’s lunchbox or as part of Halloween lunches for kids.
22. Babybel Cheese Bats

They are so easy to make; you can easily recreate these.

Truffles are excellent to bring to Halloween parties. You can make them ahead, customize the filling, and who doesn’t like truffles?
These red velvet ones are decorated so creepy!
24. Eyeball Caprese Salad
This recipe is super easy, and everyone will appreciate a fresh, zesty, healthy dish on the table.
Bonus: It takes only 5 ingredients!
25. Pumpkin Snack Board
Bring this to a party to add some veggies, fruits, and grains to the table.
Snack boards are pretty easy to make with some planning.
Start with the frames of the eyes, nose, and mouth using dark-colored fruits and vegetables like blackberries, concord grapes, or black olives. Next, fill in the surrounding spaces of the board with your favorite orange snacks, like crackers, apricots, carrots, and cheese.
26. Snakewich with Venom Sauce
Switch up a simple sandwich idea with this Snakewich!
Take refrigerated bread dough and shape it into a snake, bake it, and dress it with your favorite condiments, cheeses, and meats.
Use a roasted pepper for the tongue, and cucumber slices with olives for the eyes.
It’s a great take on Halloween sandwiches, and is a fun visual for the table.

I had to save this one for #30! It is honestly so impressive (and gruesome); I think everyone will absolutely love it.
It uses frozen puff pastry, chorizo, and some cranberry sauce on top.
Honestly, the filling of this is pretty customizable, and you could easily swap chorizo for a different sausage of your liking. I could see this pairing well with a chicken or turkey sausage to go with the cranberry.

All you do is put pretzel pieces into the oreos, and adhere candy eyes to the tops with melted chocolate.
