when it comes to Halloween food. Here are some great snack and meal
ideas. These are perfect for a Halloween party, or as a way to enjoy
the excitement as you count down to the big day.

Ghostly Sandwiches
Fix your favorite sandwich on white bread. One of our favorites for
these ghostly sandwiches is a turkey and cheese sandwich with just a
touch of mayonnaise (all white ingredients for a spooky white
ghost). Fix the sandwich as usual, then use a ghost cookie cutter to
cut it into ghost shapes. If you don’t have a ghost cookie cutter,
you can cut the ghost freehand or make a simple pattern out of
cardboard or wax paper to use as a guide.
Bat Cookies
Make a batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough, or use a pack of
refrigerated dough from your grocery store. Roll out the dough and
cut out bat shapes. Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter, or cut them
freehand.
Melt some dark chocolate and brush it on the bat cookie. Of course
you could also dip one side of the cookie in the melted chocolate
and set the cookies on some wax paper until the chocolate has a
chance to harden. After that they are ready to eat or store in an
airtight container.
Jack-O-Lantern Tortilla Wraps
Start with a plain flour tortilla. Spread some pimento cheese on it,
or layer some sliced ham and shredded cheddar cheese on there.
Anything orange works well. Wrap the tortilla tightly, then cut it
in ½ inch slices. Lay each of the slices on its side and use some
nuts, raisins or small pieces of veggies (like yellow or red
peppers) to make the eyes and mouth of your little Jack-O-Lantern
tortilla Wrap.
Pumpkin Pizza
Start with your favorite pizza dough or a ready-made crust. Top it
with pizza sauce and your favorite toppings. Add a layer of cheddar
cheese on top. Then use slices of green pepper to make the ridges of
the pumpkin – you’ll arrange them in ( ) shapes around the pizza
pan. Use pepperoni slices or red and yellow pepper slices to form
the jack-o-lantern’s face. Bake as usual.
