Have a Spooky [& Delicious] Halloween
PIN IT!GUYS! GUYS! Halloween is only a few days away!! Are you freakin’ excited? Because I am. As you may have noticed, I’m sort of a Halloween junkie. This year is even bigger for me since we FINALLY have an actual house to decorate! Take a look at some of our spooky decor!
If you think this is much, you should see our neighbors. Their house is CRAZY. The whole thing is OOZING Halloween. I have a bit of a competitive edge so I might have gone to Party City, spent $70 dollars on more decorations just to upstage them. It’s a real life keeping up with the Joneses. Just wait until Christmas. I’ll get all Christmas vacation on their arse!
Now, they may have us beat in yard decorations, but I’m pretty sure I’m winning the in the spooky food department. At least, I think so. I haven’t actually challenged them to a duel yet. Regardless, I had SO MUCH FUN this month baking up spooky, gross (looking) and delicious Halloween themed concoctions. So, to share the fun around, I’m compiling all of my gory, bleeding, ghoulish, festive and tasty concoctions all in one post!
And to kick off the fun, I’ll share the gross little appetizer I made last night 🙂 Adapted from this recipe!
Bloody Toes
Yields: 8 little toes
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 7-8 minutes
What You’ll Need:
-
8 mini low fat cocktail weiners (can be found at Whole Foods, Wegmans)
-
2 large flour tortillas (can use corn)
-
Ketchup
-
Cooking spray
-
Plastic spiders for garnish 🙂
How to Make Them:
-
Preheat oven to 375. Grease a cooking pan with cooking spray.
-
Using a knife, cut a wedge out of the top of weiney to create a toenail look. Discard wedges. Cut the tortilla into 1/4 inch slices.
-
Wrap the bottom half of the wiener with the tortilla, making sure the end piece is on the back side of the wiener. Place wiener, back side down onto the cooking sheet. Bake for 7-8 minute or until tortilla is a bit brown and crunchy.
-
Place a dollop of ketchup into the wedged finger nail and enjoy!
Nutritional information per wiener: 90 calories, 7 grams of fat, 5 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of protein.
Don’t they look really gross? Well, don’t let that fool you. They taste amazing and make the perfect Halloween party app! Ready for more fun, ghoulish (and a bit gross) party food ideas? Check out these tasty treats below!

Not sure about those bloody fingers. Good idea, but I can barely look at them. I'd go for the chocolate treats instead. :)
