With some green food colouring, edible eye candies and a few extras, these freakish Frankenstein Halloween treats will go down… well, a treat!
Orange Boo Bark
A sweet fun way to add some colour to your spooky spread.

Simply add coloured candy melts to Krispies treats, add candy eyeballs and a few sprinkles. Now you're in for a monster good time.
Eyeball Cake Pops
The forks in these eyeballs add a fun twist to the traditional cake pop!
Monster Mash Popcorn
Use candy melts, sprinkles, green M&Ms finishing off with candy eyes for this spooky treat.
HALLOWEEN CAKES + CUPCAKES
Spooky Black Buttercream Halloween Cake
The bright colours against this black cake look amazing!
Orange Monster Cake
Such a cute cake, this would also be great for a Monster Birthday party!
Surprise Spider Cake
This cake gives me the creeps! But that's the whole point isn't it?! The perfect addition for your Halloween party and so easy to put your own spin on it.
Pumpkin Chocolate Halloween Cake
Not only does this cake look like a lot of spooky fun but I would also love to taste the layers of spiced pumpkin and moist chocolate cake.
Monster Strawberry Cupcakes
Create these scary monster strawberries by slicing a hole in each strawberry. Cover with chocolate and then use a piping bag to create little tiny teeth. Crumble Oreos over the green icing.
Skeleton Cupcakes
These spooky cupcakes are made using yoghurt covered pretzels, marshmallows, straws and an editable marker for the face.
Black Cat Cupcakes
Add some sophistication to your Halloween with these gorgeous kitty cupcakes. The gold sugar makes these cakes stand out from the rest!
Oreo Spider Cupcakes
I always have to throw in easy options, of which you need when you're planning a party, right?! Another important aspect that I love when cooking for my family (of which Erin has covered) are gluten-free and vegan options.
Witches Cauldron Cupcakes
Now I thought I had enough cakes here but I just couldn't pass these fun cauldron cupcakes up! How cute and colourful are they?!
HEALTHY HALLOWEEN PARTY FOOD
Banana Ghosts
A great healthy treat that is easy to make. Simply cut the bananas and stick candy eyes. The kids will love them!
Chocolate Covered Pretzel Pumpkins
Dip pretzels into orange chocolate, use a toothpick to add some greenery and a chocolate chip at the top for the stem. Decorate with orange sprinkles if you like. I'm a little undecided if these should belong in the Healthy section of this post buuuttt… semi-healthy maybe?
Watermelon Head
Everyone loves watermelon (well everyone it seems aside from my 4 year old!). This is an easy and impressive healthy option for your Halloween party food.
Easy Halloween Food Ideas Platter
You'll find a few delicious treats on this Halloween platter.
Super Cute Fruits Halloween Platter
A colourful, fun and healthy Halloween option!
SAVORY + DINNER PARTY FOOD
Spider Web Taco Dip

Monster Burgers
Simply cut cheese to look like teeth and add olives for eyes. You could even get creative with tomato sauce for blood.
Mini Spider Pizzas
Cut olives to create little spiders on your mini pizzas.
Mummy Sandwich
How easy are these? Spread some tomato or pizza sauce over a slice of bread, cut thin lines from a slice of cheese and add olives for eyes.

All those pasta lovers can still get their dose of carbs with this fun eyeball pasta. To make this creation, use string cheese, olives, spinach pasta and your fave spaghetti sauce.
Jack-O-Lantern Burgers
Carve a pumpkin face from a cheese slice and you have the perfect Halloween party burgers.
Meatball Mummies

Halloween Punch for Kids
With it's gummy worms, this drink looks like a heap of fun, the kiddos will love it!
Glow in the Dark Skeleton Juice
It doesn't get any cooler than a glowing Halloween drink! Holly's secret to the glow is a black light and tonic water.
Vampire Hot Chocolate

Hocus Pocus Witches Brew (alcoholic)
This drink just looks amazing, doesn't it?! This cocktail has Gin, Blue Curacao, lemon juice and soda water. For that beautiful blue colour, you will need to follow the instructions from Alyssa (below).

Make these Jello shots by substituting half of the water with vodka. You could also create alcohol-free cups. The eyeballs are gummies which are the sort of thing that is easy to find at Halloween.
