Monsters made of biscuits with chocolate and marshmallow
Let’s kick off our list with a monstrously sweet treat. These adorable and edible monsters made of biscuits, chocolate, and marshmallows are a hit with kids and adults alike.

Get creative with different colored icing to give your monsters unique personalities. These little critters are almost too cute to eat, but we promise they taste as good as they look!
Banana ghosts and clementine orange pumpkins
For a healthier yet still spook-tacular option, try creating banana ghosts and clementine orange pumpkins. These treats are perfect for Halloween-themed school snacks or a fun activity to do with the kids. Simply peel and slice bananas in half, and use mini chocolate chips to create ghostly eyes and mouths. For the orange pumpkins, peel clementines and insert a small piece of celery or pretzel stick into the top as the pumpkin stem. These fruit-inspired Halloween snacks are a great way to balance out all the sugary treats of the season.
Scary sausage mummies in dough
Turn your ordinary sausages into spooky mummies by wrapping them in strips of dough! You can use pre-made biscuit or croissant dough or make your own. Wrap the dough strips around the sausages, leaving a small opening for the eyes. Bake them until the dough is golden brown, and then add two small dots of mustard or ketchup for the mummy’s eyes. These sausage mummies are a savory delight that will disappear faster than you can say “Boo!”
Stuffed red and yellow sweet bell peppers with cut-out faces
Take your Halloween dinner to the next level with stuffed bell peppers that have eerie cut-out faces. Choose red and yellow sweet bell peppers for a colorful twist. Cut out jack-o’-lantern faces on one side of the peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Fill them with your favorite stuffing, such as rice, quinoa, or ground meat mixed with seasonings. Bake until the peppers are tender and the stuffing is cooked through. Your guests will be captivated by these edible jack-o’-lanterns!
Pasta vampire monster face with big eyes and fangs
Pasta lovers, this one’s for you! Create a frighteningly delicious pasta dish featuring a vampire monster face with big eyes and fangs. Start by cooking your favorite pasta and sauce. Then, assemble the monster face on the plate. Use two large mozzarella balls for the eyes and add sliced olives or cherry tomatoes for the pupils. For the fangs, slice cheese triangles and position them as vampire teeth. Your little monsters will love this pasta dish, and you’ll love how easy it is to make!
Spooky green apple monsters
These spooky green apple monsters are a healthy and adorable addition to your Halloween spread. Slice green apples into wedges and use peanut butter or almond butter to stick them together in pairs. Insert slivered almonds or sunflower seeds for the monster’s teeth and add googly eyes made from candy or icing. These little creatures are not only cute but also a fantastic way to incorporate some fruit into your Halloween festivities.
Burger monsters
Turn your burger night into a hauntingly fun experience by creating burger monsters. Start with your favorite burger patties and buns. Then, let your creativity run wild! Use cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and condiments to create faces on the burgers. You can make mummy-like burgers with cheese strip bandages or create creepy smiley faces with ketchup and mustard. Serve these burger monsters with a side of “witches’ brew” (green smoothie) for a complete Halloween meal.
Scary ginger biscuits
Gingerbread cookies are a classic treat during the holiday season, but why not make them spooky for Halloween? Bake your favorite gingerbread biscuit recipe and use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to shape them into ghosts, bats, pumpkins, and witches. Decorate with royal icing in eerie colors like black, orange, and purple. These scary ginger biscuits will add a touch of Halloween magic to your dessert table.
Spider web mini pizzas
Transform ordinary mini pizzas into creepy-crawly delights with spider web designs. Start with mini pizza dough rounds and your choice of toppings. After baking, use black olive slices to create spider bodies and shredded mozzarella cheese to form spider webs. To make the web, place a small dollop of ricotta or cream cheese in the center of the pizza and use a toothpick to draw lines outward. These spider web mini pizzas are a hit at any Halloween party and are as fun to make as they are to eat.
Masked potato ghosts with green peas eyes
Finish off our list with a side dish that will make your guests do a double-take. These masked potato ghosts with green peas eyes are a whimsical addition to your Halloween dinner. Prepare mashed potatoes and shape them into ghostly figures. Then, create little masks using slices of black olives or pieces of seaweed.
