FAQS
How Many Halloween Party Appetizers Should I Make?
- If you are planning to serve dinner, plan about 3-5 appetizers per person.
- If you do not plan to serve dinner, 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.
Keeping Appetizers at the Right Temperature?
- Keep them warm. Use chafing dishes & crock pots to keep things like creamy dip and meatballs warm.
- Keep them cold. Place out only what can be eaten within 30 minutes, and then refill as needed. Add ice to a bowl or platter, and place the appetizer on top to keep it cold longer.
How Can I Make Appetizers More Festive?
- Use Ingredients. Black olives, green olives, fresh herbs, chives, peppers, and more can decorate foods to make them more spooky.
- Make it festive. Use a cauldron, and other Halloween-themed platters and bowls to serve the food. Add to the Halloween theme with jack-o-lanterns, spider webs, mummies, a spider web, ghosts, and other Halloween Party Must-Haves.
- Be creative. A fun trick to turn an average appetizer into a Halloween one is to make labels! Here are some examples:
- “Witch Fingers” for Fried Green Beans
- “Toxic Sludge” for Cream Cheese Green Chili Dip
- “Spider Eggs” for Fried Mac and Cheese
- “Spider” for Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball (just add legs)
These are my go to Halloween recipes for a quick meal before the grands go out Trick-Or-Treating
