Halloween Party Menu Ideas for a Frightful Halloween Party

Celebrating Halloween has changed over the years. It used to be a holiday to celebrate the dead, now we have created a wonderful holiday to dress up and party. Here are some tips to keep your guests fed, watered and well and truly happy:

Top items you may find at a party include eyeball punch, bobbing for apples, caramel apples, Chex mix, Brittle Meringue bones, cupcake spiders, and even eyeball soup.

For the cupcake spiders you need to create cupcakes. They can be different types of cupcakes from chocolate, white, lemon, or rainbow cake. You may choose to create orange icing or you could go with a traditional body with black icing. Icing may even have stripes to show off the different types of poisonous spiders. For legs you will need black licorice. Cinnamon candies work well for the eyes and candy corn works well for the spider’s fangs.

Eyeball soup is just as easy to create for older children. All you need is any type of soup – chicken noodle soup or tomato soup is often popular with children. Then you place fake eyeballs in the dish to help gross out your guests. Eyeball punch is pretty much the same as the soup idea. You take a punch, typically sprite with cranberry juice, and place plastic eyeballs in the punch bowl so they float around to surprise the guests.

Other menu ideas include graveyard cupcakes, black cat cookies, jack-o-lantern burgers, and green grog. There are lots of frightful things you can serve up at your Halloween party to delight and frighten your young guests, and you can really have fun with it. After all, Halloween really is an occasion where having fun is the most important thing!
