Ideas for Halloween Party Food (Plus I did something BAD…)

Ideas for Halloween Party Food

Depending on when Halloween falls, we sometimes like to throw a party!  I thought I'd show you some of the fun food we had here last year to give you a few ideas for Halloween party food you could try…

(***First, does anyone need ideas for what to give out instead of candy for Halloween?  10 Ideas + Party Bag Stuffers)

Ideas for Halloween Party Food

Frankenstein pudding cups

So first I'll tell you about the Frankenstein pudding cups pictured above.  I started out by searching online and found lots of cute ideas, but needed to find one that I could adapt to real food, of course!  So here's how I did it…

I made my homemade vanilla pudding, only I used regular organic sugar, instead of organic palm sugar, so it wouldn't turn out brownish.  I used a permanent marker to draw faces on clear plastic cups (this is a fun job for the kids to do), and spooned some pudding into each cup.  Then we crushed up organic oreos, and sprinkled some into each cup for “hair”.

However, making the pudding green is where it got tricky…  I did something BAD!

I had organic food coloring and put a little in a test cup of pudding.  It turned brown, and we had company coming over!!!  So I had to use a teeny amount of the ROTTEN chemical crappy food coloring (which I had around here for crafts) — that's why it's just a light green in the picture, not the bright green you see in the online search above.  Light green was close enough for me, and I was already sick over the fact that I used ANY.

HELP!

Does anyone know a better way to color pudding green that I could try???  Otherwise I won't be making them for this year's party, obviously.  Or maybe Frank could just be less spooky and have a white face…  Too bad I didn't have green cups!

Veggies and Dip with an adorable “bowl” made from a red pepper, parsley, and vegetables

Isn't this so cute?  My friend, Mary Jo, made this one:

Another cute veggies & dip idea:

Mexican “Pumpkin” Dip

Our friends, Jim & Maureen, brought a cute Mexican dip.  You can use any variation of this layered taco dip recipe, sprinkle cheese on top, and use black beans and green onions to decorate.  🙂

“Eyeball Punch”

For this one just use your favorite soda (try kefir soda or kombucha!  Or find a more “natural” kind without high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and all the other junk), maybe add some organic juice, and for the floating eyeballs, use a can of lychees (it's a fruit I had never heard of!) with blueberries inside.

“GUTS”

This hot dog appetizer recipe, made with grass-fed hot dogs, tastes good AND is a little gross looking, perfect!  🙂

    A little goes a long way. I found the amount you need to use actually doesn’t impart the strong flavor of the chlorophyll. I also found that adding it to icing made with palm shortening was difficult because it just wouldn’t mix. Icing made with all butter was another story. Made a beautiful green icing.

      I had the same result with the palm shortening. I will try butter next time. 🙂

    I didn’t notice any taste difference. Only tried it once. When mixing it with palm shortening, it didn’t mix well with that. It was still green but could see the white. I, by accident, found out that sunflower seed butter used in baked goods or pancakes can turn it green the next day….not dark but noticeable.

    I have used avocado to turn my icing green on a St. Pattys cake, but not sure if it would taste weird in pudding

    I say no green at all….kids won’t care and tell the adults to shut up lol I use green algae to dye bath bombs and it would be perfect EXCEPT pretty sure it would change the flavor lol

    Oh! I know exactly what you’re supposed to use for a natural green coloring! Liquid chlorophyll!!! Seriously, it works great, and is actually good for you! ?

      Oh good!! Do you mean something like this? https://amzn.to/1GCGL2x

      How much do I use? Just a drop at a time ’til I see if it’s the right color??

      Thanks Melissa!

        Yes, I believe that’s the same stuff! And I’m not sure how much to tell you to use. Try a couple drops at first to see how it looks. It is pretty concentrated. ?
