Halloween Party Recipes - 65 Fun and Creepy Halloween Recipes

If you look around Divine Dinner Party, you'll find tons of Halloween party recipes all over the site. These are some really fun recipes that range from absolutely disgusting to fun and kid-friendly to elegantly creepy.

But this is the first time I've put all of my favorite Halloween party recipes in just one place... all 65 of them!

The collection below is sort of a table of contents of all of the Halloween food you'll find here on the site, separated by type and easy to sort through. There is hours worth of great stuff here!

But there are other great Halloween ideas and resources on my main Halloween page, including pages and pages of Halloween Drinks and Punches, help planning an adult or teen Halloween party, Halloween decoration ideas, and more.

Or check out this whole page dedicated to the gross and creepy Halloween foods my visitors have come up with... and lots of photos!

Gross Recipes for
Halloween Parties

Disgusting Halloween Dips

Cockroach Puree: Tasty, crunchy cockroaches in a puree-- creamy with a bit of cockroach shell crunch. Guests will love this delicious walnut dip if they have the guts to try it.	Coagulated Blood Dip: Made from beets and spices, this Halloween party recipe looks like you scooped it right out of a victims veins and let it congeal in the bowl. But it tastes great!
Disgusting Diaper Dip: Who knew black beans could make food look so gross? Served with a plastic doll for effect, this black bean hummus is so gross looking, it'll be hard to get guests to try it! (that's a good thing, by the way!)	Puking Pumpkin: This is one of those Halloween party recipes that's all about presentation! Here, I've used my favorite guacamole recipe, but you can use any kind of dip, or even chili. SO gross! So simple.

Freaky Finger Foods and Snacks

Tasty Stuffed Roaches How can something so gross be so good! Dates are stuffed with walnuts and cream cheese for a creamy, sweet roach crunch. Mmm.	Tasty Turds Rice Krispie treats coated with chocolate and dotted with candy corn, these little turds look ultra realistic. One of the most gross Halloween party recipes I make. But they're delicious!
Gross Slimy Worms Halloween Recipe These worms, made with two colors of Jello and simple drinking straws, are so gross and realistic looking! A great Halloween party recipe for kids.	Slimy Tapeworm Sandwiches This is one of my favorite Halloween party recipes to make for kids (though great for adults, too!). These are just regular everyday hotdogs sliced specially before cooking.
Maggot Stew Funny how adding just one creepy ingredient --long grain rice "maggots"-- to your favorite stew can tranform it into an oh-so gross Halloween party recipe. Be sure to label it for maximum gross effect.	Fruity Dried Scabs This is simple Halloween party food at its best. Dried cherries or cranberries = yummy. But when you label them "dried scabs" they inspire a completely different reaction.
Ready to Pop Pimples Another one of those simple Halloween party recipes that you can place anywhere on your Halloween buffet table. Simple pomegranate seeds become very gross Halloween snacks!	Gross Halloween Booger Dip Your favorite cheese (or any light-colored) dip plus a little green food coloring? A truly easy but gross Halloween recipe. Serve with pretzels, bread sticks, or whatever.

Gross Halloween Sweets

Used Tampons The name says it all! This one of the most gross Halloween party recipes you'll have on the table! Even better? You only need two ingredients.	Kitty Litter Cake Recipe The kitty litter cake has become a Halloween classic! All you need is some prepared cake, some melted Tootsie Rolls and a brand new litter box.
Truck Stop Toilet Halloween Recipe Want to make your guests lose their lunches? All you need is a batch of brownies, an unused training toilet, and this recipe. Guaranteed gross out-- as nasty as it get!	Edible Ashtray Recipe Oreo crumbs, powdered sugar, and candy cigarettes make a very realistic looking ashtray! Serve in a never-used ashtray for best effect. Makes a yummy dip for apple slices or other fruit.

Gross Halloween Food Body Parts

Severed Fingers in Blood With carved-in knuckles, these cocktail sausage severed fingers look so gross! Simple, tasty, and effective. One of my favorite creepy Halloween recipes!	Marinated Mozzarella Eyeballs Bite-sized and delicious, this is one of those creepy Halloween recipes your guests won't be able to stay away from. Realistic and easy to make!
Cannibal Cajun Brain Recipe The tasty shrimps in this disgusting looking Halloween brain recipe are SO tasty! But made in a Jello brain mold and coated in cajun-spiced Jello slime, this is creepy Halloween food at its best.	Trophies of War Cannibal Platter This is one of those ultra simple creepy Halloween recipes that you'll want to make every year. The cannibal platter is made up of cooked-straight shrimp "fingers", curled shrimp ears, and glossy scallop testicles.
Gory Panna Cotta Brain This is the best use I've ever made of my Jello brain mold! Tasty panna cotta covered in a thick cranberry jelly makes for an ultra realistic, ultra gory Halloween brain recipe.	Halloween Meathead Recipe With a plastic skull from your local craft store, some cream cheese, and a couple pounds of lunchmeat, you can put together this ultra creepy meaty Halloween head in no time.
Flayed Face Halloween Recipe This one is similar to the meathead, but is filled with a wonderful cheese mixture instead of a plastic skull. A little more work intensive, but this creepy recipe is so much fun!	Parts from the Morgue Soup How can something as simple as this (wonderful) black bean soup turn into such a creepy Halloween party recipe? Simply add novelty body parts, and serve in bowls as a meal or little cups as an appetizer.

Some of the other Halloween desserts you'll find below are pretty gross-looking, too, like the donut eyeballs or severed fingers!

Eerie Halloween
Appetizers and Dishes

Halloween Finger Food and Snacks

Alien Larvae with Blood Dip These tasty and unusual cumin sweet potato empanadas are tinged green to give them an "alien larvae" look. Bite size, autumn-y, and delicious.	Baked Flesh Rolls Appetizer Call these flesh rolls, sliced baby's leg, or whatever... these little pizza-flavored puff pastry rolls are delicious for a Halloween party.
Roasted Alien Fingers Who would think that asparagus and prosciutto would make such a great creepy Halloween party recipe? Delicious, simple, and way gross (especially if you choose to call then Alien Dog Penises-- ick!)	Sticky Black Bat Wings Chicken wings and a sticky-tasty soy-sauce based sauce with black food coloring give these gross-looking Halloween bat wings a very special look.
Cute Cream Cheese Draculas Add these simple little Draculas to a cheese or olive platter, or serve them with chips. Simple, sort of elegant, and pretty funny.	Deviled Eyeballs Halloween Recipe It's amazing what a black olive, a bit of red pimiento, and some food coloring will do to transform boring ol' deviled eggs into a creepy Halloween recipe.
Cute Cream Cheese Mummy This little mummy is made with a delicious cheeseball mixture and then decorated with cream cheese "bandages." A cute and creepy Halloween party recipe that always gets raves.

Elegant, delicious, and pretty, this is perfect for a Halloween dinner party... or any nice autumn dinner.
Frankenstein Finger Dip This is one of those flexible Halloween party recipes where you can use whatever you want. The recipe here is for a wonderful BLT dip, but use your favorite... and then add in the creepy carrot fingers.	Screamin' Cheese Man Made of simple goat cheese or cream cheese, I have trouble deciding whether this poor tortured cheese guy is cute and funny, or cruel and creepy. But tasty? Definitely.
The Dip Demon A simple loaf of bread sliced open the right way and decorated with olive eyes transforms any plain 'ol dip into a creepy Halloween food creation.

Halloween Mummy Pizzas Using halved English muffins or cut-out rounds of prepared pizza dough, this creepy Halloween recipe is so much fun. Make tiny ones for Halloween appetizers or bigger ones for a meal.	Alien Avocado This creepy food makes a fun decoration on a plate of cheese or veggies. But he also tastes good on his own. Simple but really neat looking!
Classic Colcannon If you're looking for Halloween party recipes for a traditional Halloween dinner party, this buttery mashed potato recipe is one that you must make. Delicious, Irish, and very traditional.	Boxty Pancakes If you like the idea of celebrating Samhain, you've got to make these wonderful savory potato pancakes.

Halloween Caramel Apples & Popcorn Balls

Homemade Caramel Apples This recipe for Halloween caramel apples uses homemade caramel. The result is rich, wonderful, and not as teeth-crackingly sticky as store-bought caramel.	Carmel Apples with Purchased Caramel Making caramel apples at home with the caramels from the store couldn't be easier. You can buy loads of caramels here, and you're ready to go.
Decorated Caramel Apples While plain caramel apples are --of course!-- absolute heaven, decorating them using some of the tips you'll find here not only makes them prettier... it makes them taste even better!
