1 - Halloween Coffin Dip

I have a real soft spot for this Coffin Dip. Not only is it visually "cute" (ok is cute the right word for it?) but it is easy to make. You just need a sharp knife and a whole loaf of unsliced bread. Fill with any dip you want or use my pea and feta dip!

2 - Eyeballs in Blood

I mean what could be better than eyeballs in blood aka bocconcini and olives with pasta sauce? Sometimes the kookiest things don't have to take very long to make and this is one of them. Think of it like your gruesome version of a quick pasta!

3 - Bloody Body Parts

I have a soft spot for these body parts because not only do I love dumplings but they can pretty much look like any body part! I usually think they look a bit like ears but that's just me!

4 - Skull Sandwiches

Cookie cutters aren't just for cookies-they are also super fun to cut out sandwich patterns like these skull sandwiches! These are spread with chicken liver pate and cranberry sauce.

5 - Candy Corn Fruit Kebabs

These candy corn fruit kebabs are just clever, healthy and fun. Because before trick or treating you may just want something light to power through before you get to the chocolate and candy!

So tell me Dear Reader, are you doing anything for Halloween tonight?
