Halloween party food recipes

Celebrate Halloween with these seriously spooky party food recipes. All Hallows Eve (October 31st) is the perfect excuse to throw a party. Whether you’re planning a ghoulish grown-up bash, a family party or want some homemade party food for hungry trick-or-treaters, you’ve come to the right place.

Our best Halloween party food recipes include sweet treats with a scary spin. Think spider cookies, a layer cake topped with meringue ghosts, and a spooky mummy blackberry tart. Have a bash at making your own jelly worms – a fun half-term project to make with the kids, and bound to be a hit when it’s time for trick-or-treating.

Savoury options include cheese biscuit skulls, mini pumpkin fondues and easy witch’s broomsticks.

For something more sophisticated (because adults love Halloween, too), try our gory blood splatter cake, or gothic Mississippi mud pie piled high with cream and blackberries.

Grab a (witch’s) brew and a notepad, take a look through our party food ideas and start planning your monster bash.
