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:
