They may look disgusting and creepy, but they’re devilishly delicious recipes perfect for Halloween.
“I don’t think that I have ever called one of my own recipes “gross” before, but there is a first time for everything and these Dirty Q-Tip Treats are truly gross. To be honest, I kind of got a little wave of nausea making these with the kids last year, but the end result is a truly fantastic and disgusting treat that will be the hit of any horrific (that’s the goal, right?) Halloween party!” – Kerri Lyn
“To be honest with ya, I can’t even imagine eating one of these, now that I’ve equated them with roaches! In fact, just thinking about it is making my skin crawl. Okay, Okay! I put my big girl panties on and gave one a try, but I had to close my eyes! And my grandkids were right…they were so good. LOL! But, for the purposes of my skin…let’s just call them Crunchy Cheese-Stuffed Dates, ok? LOL!” – Darlene
“I know gross, but oh so fun. My 5 year old laughed so hard when he saw these, He even said something like “This is the best dinner ever”. I know, boys are gross right :). I have to admit I am more of a fan of the cute lovable side of Halloween, but if you are looking for an EASY recipe idea for your Halloween party (or just for dinner) this one is a keeper. It is so easy to make but has a dramatic effect for sure.” – Sarah
“Never before have I made something so realistic and disgusting looking. They seriously look like earthworms. And even though I know they are sweet and taste like jello, it is hard to make yourself eat them! Or at least I found it hard to eat them.” – Debbie
“Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. I love the scary decorations, fun costumes, and spooky (sometimes gross!) food. Halloween is a great time to get creative in the kitchen…like making a life-like jello brain topped with strawberry syrup that looks exactly like blood!” – Hunny
“These treats couldn’t be more simple. You just start with a package of Nutter Butters. Dip them in green chocolate, then add candy for the toenails. I used green Dots, but you could use black if you prefer. Kids of all ages love these fun treats!” – Kara
“These Blood Clot Jello Cups are tasty but creepy at the same time. Kids are going to lose their cool over these!” – Brittanie
“Isn’t that terrifying?? But guess what? It is soooo delicious, your kids will eat up this Toxic Waste Mac and Cheese and ask for more!!” – Lisa
“If you’re looking to jazz up a regular recipe this Halloween, this one is perfect for you. These deviled eggs are delicious and a huge hit with the kids. I mean, they look like dinosaur eggs! They’re super cool.” – Stephanie
“These easy eyeball cookies are one of our favorite Halloween food crafts. This OREO Cookie Eyeballs Halloween Treat DIY aka my OREO eyeballs are fun to make and the kids will definitely love to eat them! You can change up the ingredients a little bit to work with items you can find, but you really don’t need much for this easy cookie recipe other than OREO cookies and different frostings.” – Jen
“When it comes to Halloween, I am anti gross. I like the fun side of it all, but I still can’t bear to walk down the spooky isle at the grocery store. I don’t like watching scary movies and sometimes can even be a little afraid of the dark. I’m still not sure what possessed me to do, but I couldn’t help myself! And I don’t know if it’s scarier that my family actually likes meatloaf! When you’ve got a tasty recipe like I do, you can make anyone a fan.” – Amy
“I don’t post a lot of Halloween shaped food, but I couldn’t resist posting these Ghoulish Pizza Skulls! Aren’t they awesome!!! I just love the way it looks like guts coming out of the skull! They would be perfect for Halloween parties and after trick-or-treating.” – Stephanie
“Well, mini mice cakes are the perfect trompe l’oeil treat to send shivers down your friends’ spines and make the kiddies say EEK!” – Mary and Brenda
“I saw this idea online as I was browsing Halloween recipes and just had to try it! I love how easy and fast it is to make. It tastes good, but it looks gross, in a good-for-Halloween way. I tried to get my hubby to help me choose the best photos for this post, but he was getting too grossed out and couldn’t even finish looking at all of them – safe to say that he wasn’t much help.” – Melanie
“These Meatball Mummies are a fun, easy, and delicious Halloween finger food idea. They are store-bought meatballs, wrapped in crescent down, and topped with marinara and olives.” – Zach and Sarah
“his Bloody Good Cheesecake Recipe is the spookiest Halloween treat that is sure to be the scary centerpiece of your party! Red velvet cheesecake is baked on a chocolate crust and covered in a blood red homemade gel frosting.” – Heather
