Utterly Gross Halloween Food

The power of suggestion is the key with these and our other disgusting Halloween food recipes. After you've planned your menu, find a creepy font on your computer and make some labels for all your gross foods. Attach them to skewers or even craft sticks and poke them in the foods or display them near the serving bowls.

Disgusting Halloween Food and Other Simple
Gross Out Ideas

Cup of Dirt: You will need: 1 package of Oreo cookies, 1 package instant chcolate pudding, or one large container of already prepared pudding; 1 small tub of cool whip; a bag of gummy worms. In your food processor or blender crush the cookies into course crumbs. Fold the cool whip into the pudding. In a clean flower pot, or individual plastic cup spoon a layer of crumbs, then the pudding mixture. Top with another layer of crumbs. Add the gummy worms poking some into the dirt and sprinkling a little dirt over the others to make them look like they've been wiggling around in there. Chill to set then serve.

Bath Water Beverage: One of the simplest gross Halloween food recipes. All you need is a 1/2 gallon tub of Rainbow Sherbert; a 2 liter bottle of 7 up; a prepared 12 oz can of frozen lemonade, or try our homemade lemonade recipe; and some puffy after dinner mints (the ones that look like little pillows). Let sherbert sit out long enough to soften. Combine the lemonade, 7 up and sherbert in a ghoulish punch bowl. It will get a scummy color. Toss in some mints right before serving. As they dissolve they look like bits of use soap. Ewww.

Bloody Punch...Oops How'd that Hand Get in There: Simplest of gross Halloween recipes. Put on a pair of clear latex gloves and wash them using hot water. Take them off them turn them inside out. Fill with water or Jello that you've dyed a sick flesh color. Then freeze. Once frozen solid carefully peel away the glove and add float the hand in a bowl lovely blood red fruit punch. If you snap off a finger, don't sweat it, just throw it in there too.

Buggy Ice Cubes: Add some of these to your guests glasses for some shrieks. Fill an ice tray half way with water and freeze. Add a clean plastic bug to each cube then top off with more water and freeze again. Make sure you use clear glassware so everyone can see their lovely ice. Make sure everyone is aware that the bugs are NOT edible. As the ice melts the bugs will be floating in the drinks.

Witch Fingers with Sweet Blood Dip: Use prepared sugar cookie dough and roll into fairly thin strips. Remember, they will puff when baked. Shape the strips into "fingers" adding large knuckles and sliced almonds for fingernails. To give the fingers creepy dimension bake drapped over some rolled up foil so the fingers appear curled or twisted. Bake until golden and let cool. Serve in a basket stuffed with linen napkins or black tissue paper. Poke the fingers in the folds to make them seem more "real" amd at their gross Halloween food best. Serve with a bowl of vanilla icing that you've colored blood red.

Ant Pudding: You will need some chocolate jimmies (ice cream sprinkles) and prepared vanilla pudding. Blend chocolate "ants" into the pudding then spoon individual servings into clear plastic serving cups. Chill to set. Sprinkle more ants on top right before serving.

Booger Dipped Pretzel Sticks: Stomach turning for sure. For this gross Halloween food you need: a jar of Cheez Whiz; a bag of pretzel sticks; some red pepper flakes (optional); and green food coloring. Melt the Cheez Whiz so it's pourable consistency. This can be done in the microwave or heating the jar slowly in a pan of water. Add green coloring a drop at time until it's a lovely shade of snotty green.

One at a time, dip pretzel sticks in the cheese and cover one end. Let set for a few seconds then dip again until it has a good coating. Place on a sheet of waxed paper to set. Once you've used about 2/3 of the jar add some red pepper flakes to the remaining cheese then finish off. The pepper flakes look like...well...icky bloody bits. Plus they add some bite to the flavor for those who like their boogies spicy.....I'm sorry...I could not resist.

Bloody Scab Snacks: Just nasty...but...yummy. Simply put out a bowl dried cranberries. (Ocean Spray Craisins) and label them as "Bloody Scab Snacks". They're packed with vitamin C.
