Kid-friendly options include mummy hot dogs, pretzel pumpkins, Rice Krispie witch hats, and apple spiderweb pops. They’re simple, playful, and safe for school parties.

What can I make for a Halloween party besides candy?

Beyond candy, think savory foods like stuffed peppers shaped as jack-o’-lanterns, spider web guacamole, cheese balls, and themed pizzas. These balance out all the sweets.

Use creative shapes, bold colors, and themed garnishes. For example, carve faces into bell peppers, use black olives as spiders, or drizzle raspberry syrup for a “bloody” effect.

Hot dog mummies, deviled “spider” eggs, mini pizzas, and pretzel pumpkins top the list. They’re easy to grab and eat while mingling.

Berry eyeball punch (with lychee-and-blueberry “eyes”) and sherbet punch are fun non-alcoholic options. Hot cocoa bombs also work for chilly Halloween nights.
