10 Creative Halloween Ideas for Party Entrees and Desserts
Halloween is always fun for children (and adults) to dress up and act like their favorite superhero, movie character, or idol, but did you ever consider dressing your food up?
With the convenience of having a freezer full of food to use any time, it’s even easier to create entrees that wow your guests. These 10 ideas will surely haunt your guests so they never forget your party!
1. Halloween Burgers
Could these get any easier? Simply cut the cheese into the shape of a jack-o-lantern and place it over your Certified Angus BeefTM burgers. Such an easy way to jazz up your burgers! Thanks for the idea Red Ted Art.
2. Stuffed Jack-O-Lantern
These festive stuffed jack-o-lanterns are perfect for a small gathering or family dinner. The best part about making stuffed peppers is that you can customize these to include your favorite protein! Choose from ground Certified Angus Beef, chicken, or turkey for a well-balanced dinner!

5. Spider Taco Ring
With a beefy taco center and a flakey dough on the outside, this dish might be the first one devoured at the party! We love this idea because it’s customizable! You could even make it into a buffalo chicken or pizza crescent ring if you wanted!

6. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ghosts
This is an easy dessert that the kids can even help with, but be warned, it can get a little messy! Simply dip the strawberries into Vanilla CANDIQUIK Coating (or white chocolate) and add chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth and you have a spooky halloween ghost that your party-goers will love!

7. Bread Coffin Dip
This is such a cute idea to make your typical dip really stand out this halloween! Pick up a loaf of bread that hasn’t been cut yet. Cut open the top and remove some of the bread as seen in the picture, and place your dip in the “coffin”.
Shout out to So Wonderful So Marvelous for coming up with this great idea!
8. Mummy Meatballs
Want a creative way to serve meatballs at your party? This is it! Turn your Five Star meatballs into mummies! Not only are these adorable, but the crescent roll wrapped around the meat will be a yummy addition to your typical meatball!

9. Jack-O-Lantern Quesadillas
Kids will love these jack-o-lantern quesadillas! The recipe just calls for refried beans, cheese, and tortillas, but we recommend taking it up a notch by adding salsa and chicken or steak. Either way you make them, these are sure to be a hit!

10. Frankenstein Brownies
Now, these may look a little intricate, but we promise, they are easy! The green icing is actually mint flavored, but you can omit this and make them easier with green food dye and vanilla icing.
