What makes for a Halloween Appetizer?
Delicious, warm and inviting appetizers are perfect for your Halloween party. I have collected an assortment of some of our favorites.
Once you have your appetizer menu planned the next question is HOW MUCH to make. Here’s a good rule of thumb to follow:
- If you are planning to serve dinner then you will only need about 3-5 appetizers per person.
- If you do not plan to serve dinner you will want to increase the amount per person according to how long your event lasts. For a 2-4 hour event serve 8-12 appetizers per person. For an event lasting longer than 4 hours plan to serve 12-15 appetizers.
Since the appetizers themselves aren’t necessarily Halloween themed you can dress up the table with Halloween themed bowls and platters. A really fun idea in turning an average appetizer into a Halloween theme is to make labels for the items.
For example:
- “Witch Fingers” for Fried Green Beans
- “Toxic Sludge” for Green Chili Cream Cheese Dip
- “Spider Eggs” for Fried Mac N Cheese
Be creative!
