11 Savory Recipes for Your Halloween Party

?>

For me, one of the hardest parts of planning a Halloween party has been pulling together a solid menu.

I usually take the party snacks approach but want something a bit more clever than the spiderweb seven-layer dip or mummy dogs, y’know? Savory recipes, in particular, seem to be a hard one to come up with.

Over the years, I’ve made a few fun recipes, like my take on this graveyard dip, my spooky spuds and sprouts or even this salsa I made with the guts of my summer jack-o-lantern. Today, I’ve rounded up a few more unique ones you might want to try at your Halloween party this year!

 

11 Savory Recipes for Your Halloween Party

 

Roasted Garlic Cheeseball

We’ll kick off the list with this uber gothic roasted garlic cheeseball. I love that it’s coated in black poppy seeds to give it a darker vibe. SEE THE RECIPE

 

Amputated Appetizer

I’m a sucker for a good charcuterie board, and prosciutto rolled in mozzarella is always my weakness. If you need something a little on the gruesome side, check out this three cheese hand! SEE THE RECIPE

 

Marinated Mozzarella Skulls

One more cheesy recipe! My ghoul Hellen over at The Necro-nom-nom-nom-icon is always whipping up amazingly creepy creations. Learn how to make your own skull-shaped mozzarella (it’s easier than you think!). SEE THE RECIPE

 

 

Shrimp on the Brain

Sometimes you just need to eat brains. This dip shaped like a brain would be great for a Halloween party as well for a zombie movie night. SEE THE RECIPE

 

Falafel Fingers

I eat halal food on a pretty regular basis and have become obsessed with falafel. I love this savory take on witch fingers and absolutely want to try this! SEE THE RECIPE

 

Killer Jalapeno Hummus

Another thing I eat on a regular basis? Hummus! So I love finding creepy recipes for new takes on one of my favorite snacks, like this killer jalapeno hummus. SEE THE RECIPE

 

Monster Sushi

And as long as we’re talking about favorite foods, sushi is way up on the list too. I was tickled when I found these Halloweenified sushi balls! SEE THE RECIPE

 

Pumpkin Stuffed Shells

Looking for a more hearty recipe? I tested out these pumpkin stuffed shells earlier this year, and they were pretty delicious! SEE THE RECIPE

 

 

Candy Corn Veggie Tray

Need something quick and easy to take to a party? Make your own candy corn veggie tray using cauliflower, carrots and yellow bell peppers! SEE THE RECIPE

 

Cheese Graveyard

Making a cheese board for your party? Why not turn it into a graveyard? SEE THE RECIPE

 

Tortilla Bats with Tomato Salsa

When it doubt, keep it simple! Make your own fresh salsa (so easy and SO much better than the premade stuff!) and bat chips. SEE THE RECIPE

    Love the monster sushi, but the pics on the website are blurred out for me, anyone else have a problem seeing them?
    also love the vegan falafel fingers! I always have a few vegan witches that show up for my witches tea, so nice to have a new recipe for them.
    Thanks for the cute food ideas!

    So going to make the shrimp brain mold. I have had the mold for years but always used it for an opaque Jello. brain. Caused two kids in my sons class to throw up, lol.

    Really want to make the brain mold shrimp dip but not use a canned soup laden with sodium. I searched substitutes and am going to try one.
