The Daily Dish Recipes

It isn’t too late to prepare some fun and festive foods as a treat for your children tonight. We are planning our own fun Halloween party tomorrow night, so these are great for us and we will probably do several of them over the entire weekend. Why not? Halloween is actually on a Friday this year! YAY!

Here are a whole bunch of ideas for a wicked good Halloween party!

Lady Finger Cookies - This site has the recipe for these, but also has several other absolutely awesome ideas for Halloween treats.

These are actually really easy to make and are a big hit with the kids because they taste great.

Here is a great Family Fun site with Halloween Recipes Galore for everything from desserts, snacks and treats to main dishes and side dishes for a full menu of Halloween food.

  These are another really easy to make item. Take a hot dog and wrap it up mummy style with bread stick dough. Follow the directions for baking on the can. Use peppercorns for the eyes. These are just like pigs in a blanket, except of course wrapped like mummies.

This fantastic cake is nothing more than a chocolate cake or brownies. Use chocolate cookies (Milano cookies work great as grave markers) but you can also use chocolate graham crackers and crumble them as shown. You can purchase a bag of plastic skeletons from any Halloween shop.

Kitty Litter Cake is a widely popular item on Halloween night and at many fun parties. There is a recipe here that you can use and all you need is a brand new small litter box and scoop to add to the look. It sure looks gross but I’ve had it before and its actually pretty good.

These are so easy to make. Hard boil your eggs like you would if you were making traditional deviled eggs. Add red food coloring to the “deviled egg” filling after you’ve mixed all ingredients. Place the egg halves in a plastic baggie with several drops of yellow food coloring and shake the bag gently coating each egg piece. Allow to sit and dry. Fill the eggs with the “red” deviled egg filling and then add either a whole or half of a black olive. Super simple and they look spooky but taste great.

And lastly for my fun Halloween foods, these are really easy to make too. They are simply Nutter Butter brand cookies dipped in white icing with black icing eyes, though if the icing was still wet you could probably use some type of candy. They are really easy to make and of course a Nutter Butter tastes great so imagine how delicious these are. They are a huge hit!

Some other great tricks are to purchase little plastic toys, rings and other Halloween paraphernalia and put it in just about any type of food which turns it instantly into a Halloween food. Float a spider ring in a bowl of soup, or put candy corns around a dish to decorate plain old brownies, etc.

So what special foods are you planning for Halloween or have you already done?
