The Boo-ffet: 6 Easy Halloween Party Foods

With a few years of Halloween parties under my belt there are certain go to foods that I tend to repeat over and over because they are pretty simple to create and tend to be great accents to fill out the buffet table.  So I figured this would be a perfect time to share my absolute favorites.



Cold Cut Head: This is one I get asked about a lot. It couldn't be more simple to make. Just cover a Halloween skull in prosciutto(it sticks all on its own) and then use pimento olives for the eyes. Instantly terrifying.
Panna Clotta: This is a great one to make ahead of time.  Simple make a batch of panna cotta (or pudding or custard), poor into small ramekins and add a drop of red food coloring while still warm. Use a tooth pick to pull the red food coloring into a clot shape and then let cool.  Added bonus: its very tasty.
Moist Eyeballs: Pitted lychees (from a jar) with a grape inserted into the center and then scattered haphazardly on a black plate makes a striking addition to your display. Not only is it gross but a healthy treat.
Give it a hand: Ok, so this isn't technically a food but simply adding dollar store hands to your finger foods takes 3 seconds and makes for a great impact.
Blood Rimmed Punch: You can make virtually any punch recipe dark by adding some black food coloring.  Add a red sugar rim to your glasses for extra effect.
Eyeball Caprese: This one always gets eaten first.  Take a mozzarella ball and slice in half. Lay halves side by side on basil leaf and top with sliced pimento olives.  Here's looking at you!
