Brainstorming for your Hallow's Eve party snacks at the last minute? Here are three easy, yummy, and awesome ideas (tried, tested, and highly recommended by me and my friends) adapted from an ivillage.com article for the perfect spooktastic snacks that might just rock your party!
Spider Web Tortilla-Pizza
We decided to add a twist to the all-time party favourite pizza by replacing the usual crust with flour tortilla. For the tomato base, we used a pre-made sauce (widely sold in supermarkets), and with thinly-sliced strips of mozzarella cheese, we formed the spider web.
The tomato sauce and cheese are tasty enough, but we wanted some toppings, so we added some bits of seasoned beef (in cumin and other spices) and some grated cheddar cheese.
Pop the "pizza" into the microwave or oven toaster to melt the cheese and toast the tortilla for a distinct crisp.
Freaky Fingers
Let's redefine "finger food", shall we?
Fry some slices of hot dogs or franks or wieners (or whatever you call them!) and wrap them in strips of tortilla, as though they were strips of gauze. Use a toothpick to hold the "bandage" in place. Dab some ketchup or any red sauce of your choice around the toothpick to make an impression of blood seeping through the bandage. For the fingernails, adhere peanut halves on the hot dog slices with ketchup.
Serve with seasoned tomato sauce.
Carved Orange Dessert Bowls
Forget the boring (and un-eco-friendly) plastic dessert bowls and opt for this cute idea instead!
Cut the top of an orange open, and empty it by spooning the pulp out (*tip: make some orange juice after!). With a small knife, carve some fun jack-o'-lantern-like faces on the orange.
Fill the "bowls" with Jell-O or cubed pieces of fresh fruit. If you're worried that you dessert contains liquid that might ooze through the craved areas, you can place a piece of cling film inside the bowl before filling it.
