Some people love Christmas, others live for Valentine's Day, but I absolutely love Halloween and everything the season brings - creepy decorations, spooky costumes and scary Halloween appetizers!!
But don't let the thought of creating unique Halloween appetizers scare you - with a little bit of imagination you can 'Halloween-ize' your traditional appetizers to suit the day:
Add a sliced black olive to the middle of deviled eggs to transform them into monster eyeballs Halloween appetizers.
Hollow out a squash then decorate the outside with magic marker to look like a monster (use traditional pumpkin decorating templates found on the internet), then add your favorite guacamole or dip to look like its brains. Serve with tortilla chips or crudités for another great Halloween appetizers transformation.
Press slivered almonds into an apple wedge to look like a monster or pumpkin smile.
Make individual Mummy Pizzas, using English muffins, add olives for the eyes, and your favorite toppings. Place long strips of mozzarella cheese across the top to look like mummy bandages. These Halloween appetizers can do double duty as a kid-friendly dinner before heading out for trick-or-treating.
As you can see, even everyday appetizers can dress up and 'trick-or-treat' as Halloween appetizers!!
Enjoy the day!!
