Going to Halloween parties can be fun, but preparing for one is the real deal. Yes, we love dressing up spooky, but, snacks that are not only flavourful but also spooky-themed can actually turn out to be the real stars of the party. If this year, a low-stress Halloween party is something you are planning to host, serving up a spread that is hauntingly good and sharable, seems like the best way to bewitch your guests.
From easy Jalapeño Poppers to appetizing Meatballs, we have created a list of 8 savoury appetizers that will bring life to your not-too-flashy Halloween party.
Jalapeño Poppers
Jalapeño Poppers might sound meh, but trust us, a snack cannot get more Halloween-y than this. And we are saying this for a couple of big reasons. First, they’re stuffed with a creamy filling of cream cheese and shredded cheddar. Second, each popper is wrapped in crescent roll dough to look like mummies. With this flaky, spicy, and cheesy snack, you really can’t go wrong!
Meatballs
Meatballs can never disappoint and these spooky ones are the perfect appetizers. If you are going to be too busy on Halloween day, you can prep the meatballs ahead of time and keep them in the freezer. For the eerie effect, use mozzarella cheese, black olive, and tomato sauce. Serve them on a bed of spaghetti or just by themselves.
Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs are a classic finger food appetizer at Halloween parties, and for good reason. With just a few ingredients like mayonnaise, mustard, paprika, and other spices, you can turn your regular hard-boiled eggs into these creepy-cool snacks. Give them a spooky upgrade with some food coloring or soy sauce.
Pizza Bites
Turn your regular pizza bites into a Halloween hit with easy shapes like pumpkin. Made using classic pizza rolls, marinara sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, and olives the pumpkin-shaped pizza bites will surely be a crowd pleaser.
Taco Ring
If you are hosting a cozy Halloween movie night, surprise your family and friends with a Spooky Spider Taco Ring. Loaded with classic beefy taco filling, the flaky crescent roll dough body is both eye-catching and tasty.
Stuffed Peppers
Jack-o’-lanterns but make it edible. This Halloween festive stuffed peppers can be the best fun and healthy snack to impress your guests with. Loaded with meat, rice, veggies, and cheese, this savory dish is both creative and delicious.
Sliders
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party for adults or kiddos, sliders are the perfect choice. Decorated with olives, and stuffed with meaty and cheesy goodness between buns, we promise, one bite into these scary-looking flavourful sliders and you’ll be hooked.
