Creepy Treats: Eyeballs

“Eye” spy something that is round…and maybe a little bit squishy when stabbed with a fork. It’s always the eye kills that make me turn my head in a horror movie. I don’t mind watching the rest of the body hacks and slashes – eyeballs are just so vulnerable.

So if you like having your food look back at you, these Halloween creepy treats are worth a peek. Simply quite eye-catching, if you ask me. Feast your eyes on these eye treats (or is it treat yourself to these eye feasts)??? All in favor…say “eye”!

Scary Candied Apples

ScaryCandiedApplesThis hauntingly delicious candied apple recipe deserves its own post. I won’t even dare to mix and match these with traditional candied apples because there has never been a more dark & elegant Halloween treat dropped out of the orchard before…in Snow White fashion – these apples are simply to die for.

These candied apples are dripping with blood red and black glass-like candy with natural twig branches that serve as the sticks. They are perfect for Gothic and Vampire themed Halloween parties. Kudos to the talented apple dipper and the stunning visuals from the photographer. I can foresee these forever charming my macabre dinner parties for many years…

Creepy Treats: Blood and Guts

bloodycupcakesNot for the faint of heart, these recipes might have you seeing red if you dare to slaughter an attempt at recreating these creepy treats. Looks like a ton of bloody dripping fun to me…

Surprise your guests with a few gross Halloween treats this year, such as Blood and Guts Potatoes and Blood Drip Martinis.

Cut out and then…um…cut up a few batches of Zombie Cookies. They are just dying to lie in a pool of red icing, and may sever an extra limb or two along the way.

Most importantly, you cannot skip over the cupcakes recipes that I have featured above in the photo! Blood Clot and Brain Cupcakes are definitely winners in the grossness and gore category. Almost enough to freak your guests out enough to lose their appetites. At least they’ll be plenty of ahem…leftovers?

Halloween Bento Boxes

Bento boxes are a perfect Halloween lunch for the kids, but would also be a unique addition as Halloween party food. You can combine your favorite sushi and vegetable arrangements on large platters in between the olive and egg eyeballs for an elegant touch.
