Halloween Party Ideas: Appetizers, Dinner, Desserts and Printables

I have always wanted to have a Halloween Party, there are so many fun ideas, and I knew my boys would love it. So last night we finally hosted a not-so-spooky Halloween Party! It was more of a Halloween Dinner Party, and us and our neighbors enjoyed some spooky drinks, food and desserts.

Let me share with you all the fun food i made. all of them are really easy to make, so anyone can create them. you could even use one of the ideas in your evening family dinners to excite the family for Halloween.

How to Make a Pumpkin Patch with Drinks

First up were drinks! I had the idea to make a Drink Pumpkin Patch out of the drinks. We used Fanta mini cans and the 20 oz. waters bottles, which made the perfect size for my pumpkin printables. However, you can use any size.

To make your own Drink Pumpkin Patch, you need:

• 8.5  x 11" orange paper
• Printer with black ink
• Drinks
• Tape
• Pumpkin Drink Printable

• Step 1 - Download the pumpkin drink printable here
• Step 2 - Print the pumpkin faces onto the orange paper.
• Step 3 - Cut the printable to the correct size
• Step 4 - Tape the pumpkin bands around the sodas and water bottles.

Lastly, I set all the soda pumpkins and water pumpkins up like a real pumpkin patch, and placed a sign letting guest know they can pick their own drinks. Download the free printable here.

Didn't they turn out cute?!!!

Next up was the appetizers, and this Halloween Onion Ranch Cheese Ball was at the top of my list. One, because it's cute, and two, because it tastes amazing!

This Pumpkin Shaped Ranch & Onion Cheese Ball made the perfect appetizer for my Halloween party, and I love how it turned out. The kids AND adults devoured it! Such a great appetizer for both kid or adult Halloween parties....even for your Fall and Thanksgiving celebrations.

Halloween Onion Ranch Cheese Ball Recipe

Here is the Halloween Onion Ranch Cheese Ball Recipe. Head over to that post for easy step-by-step instructions. Best of all, it can be made days ahead, so you don't have to stress on the party day.

Make sure to serve it with Wheat Thins, they make the best dippers and taste great with this dip.

Halloween Mummy Hotdogs

I also made these adorable mummy hotdogs for the dinner. I bought wooden sticks at the craft store (they are made for caramel apples) and then wrapped pre made breadstick dough and wrapped it around the hotdogs. I added mustard eyes to make them extra cute. Here is the recipe for mummy hotdogs.

Halloween Fruit Platter Idea

These banana ghosts and clementine orange pumpkin made a fun side dish for our mummy hot dogs. Also easy to make, just use chocolate chips for the banana ghost eyes, and a little piece of celery makes the pumpkin stem on the oranges.

Easy Halloween Oreo Treats

And for treats...because you have to have treats at a Halloween party, I made these Spider Web Halloween Oreos. By using a fine tip frosting piping tip, I simply piped on the spider webs with white royal icing onto my Halloween Oreos. I was surprised at how fast it was to make these, and they turned out just how I imagined.

First pipe the frosting in the 4 cross webs. Then starting in the middle, pipe the spiral that connect the cross webs. Simple as that. Finally, let them dry and then they are ready to serve.

And for the finale, everyone made their own Orange Fanta Spooky Halloween Floats! Start with Fanta Orange Soda, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Set out creepy gummies and eyeball candy to make them spooky. Download the free printable sign here.

These Spooky Halloween Floats were the hit of the party and were super yummy! everyone loved adding their own creepy treats to make them spooky. but if you aren't into spooky, then make them Jack-o-lantern themed.

Our Halloween party was a sweet success. It was so much fun to plan. To find all the ingredients I used to make this Halloween party happen, head over to your local Walmart store! You'll find great prices there. I really hope you love all of these Halloween Party Ideas.
