I’ve always loved Halloween. It gives me an excuse to eat candy. The flip side is having to prepare last-minute Halloween Dishes. Who hasn’t had a child state at 8:30 PM that they will need 30 snacks for the School Halloween Party tomorrow? Or, if this hasn’t happened to you yet, maybe you’d like to jazz up your Halloween with special dishes, but want simple recipes. Whatever the case, we’ve got 17 Easy Halloween Recipes, including everything from drinks to snacks. Most of these require minimal ingredients and can be made quickly. Let’s get this party started!
17 Easy Halloween Recipes
Halloween Drinks:
Eyeball Punch Recipe – This gluten-free punch has four ingredients and can be made in around five minutes. Chill the ingredients in advance to keep the punch colder longer. You can use your choice of orange beverage in this one; orange juice, orange soda, or, for a more upscale version, blood orange soda. Not sure where to find the eyeball candy? Check your local dollar store.
Easy Zombie Punch Recipe – Another four-ingredient punch, this gluten-free version uses lime sherbet and a bag of candy body parts from the dollar store. Kids can help mix the punch and decorate serving cups with the candy body parts.
Embalming Fluid Punch – This gluten-free, three-ingredient punch is a twist on an Orange Shirley Temple recipe. If you’d like to make this into a grown-up drink, just add a touch of peach schnapps.
Easy Zombie Ice Cubes – Tired of ice melting in your drinks, making them watery and flavorless? Try these simple zombie ice cubes made with two ingredients!
Halloween Main Dishes:
Mummy Chicken– This gluten-free Mummy Chicken recipe has five ingredients and can be completed in around 30 minutes. While the chicken is baking, boil the noodles and slice the string cheese. This is a kid’s favorite recipe for Halloween.
Easy Cyclops Sandwiches – This sandwich can be prepared with your child’s favorite filling. I used cheese, but you can substitute lunch meat or whatever your heart desires. Make this a cute gluten-free treat by substituting gluten-free bread.
Halloween Desserts:
Gruesome Green Toes – Another recipe with only three or four ingredients, depending on whether you purchase green candy melts or go the more frugal route and use green food coloring. These cookies require a drying time of around five minutes before completing the second side.
Easy Goblin Feet Cookies – While you’re whipping up the Gruesome Green Toes, use the same ingredients to make these cute Goblin Feet. The only difference is that you’ll need chopped peanuts or cashews instead of fruit candy.
Creepy Spider Cakes – Who says you can’t use prepackaged mixes to create something cute? This recipe uses a boxed cake mix and canned chocolate frosting to make these adorable spiders. Use the leftover cake for a trifle or a crumb topping for ice cream.
Bloodshot Eyeballs – Dip Oreos in white chocolate and top with candy eyeballs in this four-ingredient recipe. If you need a gluten-free version of this recipe, substitute gluten-free sandwich cookies.
Spooky Ghost Cake – Another quick recipe using a boxed cake mix and frosting. Who knew a simple cake could be so spooky?
Zombie Parfait – I used a purchased cheesecake to create these parfaits in around 15 minutes. If you have more time, you can prepare a homemade cheesecake filling. Zombie hands can be found at the dollar store.
Witch’s Hat Cookies – These Witch’s Hat Cookies have only three ingredients and you can whip up an entire plateful in 15 minutes. Kids can help with these treats by unwrapping the candies and placing them on top of the fudge striped cookies. Add orange, purple, or green food coloring to the icing to give the cookies more color.
Halloween Snacks:
Zombie Blood Jello – This is one of the easiest recipes ever! Green gelatin is mixed with lemon-lime soda and a touch of cherry-flavored syrup. Top it with candy gummy pieces or plastic zombie hands for a snack that is to die for!
Slime Popcorn – Microwave popcorn is the base of this quick recipe. Mix it with green candy melts and candy eyeballs and you’ll have a dish worthy of Slimer.
Monster Mix Crunch – Three ingredients is all that is needed to make this sweet and salty treat. I use a bag of microwave popcorn to save time.
Graveyard S’mores Cups – All the goodness of s’mores without the campfire!
These easy Halloween recipes will help your next party, last-minute treat, or dinner become a touch more spooky and a little less hectic. Do you have a favorite easy Halloween recipe?
