Fun Halloween Food Ideas
Jalapeño Popper MUMMIES
For jalapeno popper mummies, you’ll be breaking out the crescent dough, cream cheese, and mini candy eyeballs.
Please see our Jalapeno Mummy Poppers post for all the details on how to make them, as well as a substitute for jalapenos for those who would prefer a non-spicy popper.
We don’t think the mummy poppers necessarily NEED a dipping sauce, but feel free to serve them with marinara, ranch dip or sweet and sour sauce like we’ve done here.
PUMPKIN Deviled Eggs
These pumpkin deviled eggs aren’t pumpkin flavored (that sounds kind of gross, right?), they just LOOK like little pumpkins with plenty of Halloween spirit.
Please see our Halloween Deviled Eggs post for all the details on how to make deviled eggs that look like pumpkins.

Favorite Halloween Snack Ideas
Mini Pizzas With SPIDER Olives (Our Favorite Halloween Snack Idea!)
The little spider pizzas are probably our favorite snack on this Halloween food ideas board! It’s as simple as grabbing a box of frozen mini pizza bagels and a can of pitted black olives for a festive touch.
Please see our Halloween Mini Pizzas post for all the details on how to cut the spiders and assemble these pizzas!

Apple And Peanut Butter MONSTERS
For the apple monsters, you will need 2 Granny Smith apples and about 1/2 cup of peanut butter or nut butter of your choice (although it needs to be a thicker kind that isn’t runny).
You will also need about 40 pine nuts for the “teeth,” a small chunk of cheese or mango you can cut into triangles for the “tongues,” and some candy eyes decorations for this Halloween party food.
Detailed instructions for how to assemble these little monsters are in the recipe card at the very bottom of this post.

BAT Tortilla Chips And Salsa (One Of The Easiest Halloween Recipes!)
For the bat tortilla chips, you will need flour tortillas and some type of seasoning (we like chili powder and salt, but a prepared seasoning like Tajin works great, too).
Use small bat cookie cutters to cut bats from the tortillas, sprinkle them with seasoning and bake until they are crispy.
Serve the chips with store-bought salsa of any variety, or homemade mango salsa.

Halloween Party Foods Home Chef Tips
- We like to make several different Halloween snacks and then pile them all onto one large platter for a fun and spooky effect.
- If you’re expecting a bigger crowd or you don’t have a large enough platter, you can put each type of snack on its own plate or platter. Spread them around your party space so there’s a haunting treat at every turn!
Which Halloween Snacks Can Be Made In Advance?
If you’re attending a Halloween party at somebody else’s house rather than hosting, most of these Halloween snacks can be carefully packed up and taken with you.
The bat tortilla chips and mango salsa are, of course, a no brainer Halloween themed food to pack up and take. The pumpkin deviled eggs and apple monsters also travel just fine if you pack them carefully.
The jalapeño popper mummies are best warm but still really good at room temperature – bake them and cool them just before leaving, and then pack them up.
Make sure the mummies are fully cool before you put them in any sort of airtight container, otherwise they’ll steam and the crescent roll dough will get soggy.
However, the spider pizza bagels are really best when fresh. If you’re traveling with these, we would recommend cutting the olives into “spider parts” and taking them with you.
Then, when you get to your host’s house, bake the pizza bagels and then assemble the spiders on top and serve them to the guests right away.

Easy Halloween Snacks FAQs
The Apple Monsters and Spider Pizzas are the most popular options for a kids Halloween party.
Round out your Halloween snack spread by adding other popular Halloween foods like candy corn and roasted pumpkin seeds.
We think a combination of sweet and savory treats is best for any party, including Halloween. Add some desserts like Halloween-themed cookies, brownies or a cake to the savory snacks below.
Traditionally, certain foods have been avoided at Halloween due to their associations with bad luck or the supernatural. These foods have included nuts, apples and eggs. But as you can see, we haven’t avoided any of these when coming up with these easy Halloween snacks!

Lori, I mean, seriously, you just took Halloween snacks to the NEXT LEVEL! My kids (myself included) would die over this platter. I’ve always felt like Halloween foods sometimes goes a little too far in the weird/creepy department, but THIS is awesome and so yummy looking. I can’t wait to try some of these this year.
Thanks, Aimee! I’m with you – I’m not a fan of the snacks that are like gory/bloody. I don’t want to eat that, you know? Cute/slightly spooky is more my speed 🙂 Happy Halloween!
Jeff would probably enjoy being in El Paso for Halloween, because our very large Hispanic population takes that holiday very seriously. You see almost as many decorations for Halloween as for Christmas, including orange lights on the houses. Me, I’m not a big fan of Halloween, for many reasons, but I have to say that your jalapeño mummies are absolutely adorable. I also like the apparent combination of salami with mango – and the salsa and sweet/sour sauce. This snack dinner is the first Halloween thing I’ve seen that I consider pleasant. The mummies, especially, put a smile on my face.
Oh, it does sound like Jeff would love El Paso! And thank you for your kind words, as always. The mummies might be my favorite part, too 🙂
