Halloween Party Recipes

The trick to making these gross recipes for Halloween a gory success lies in the power of suggestion. Make little signs labeling each dish with it's gross name so your guests will know "exactly" what they're eating.....If they dare.

Puking Pumpkin: The same look as the pumpkin at the top of the page, except you use a smaller pumpkin. Carve out the face however you'd like, making the mouth open, and sit the pumpkin on top of a clean serving tray. Instead of puking pumpkin seeds, use store bought or homemade guacamole spread haphazzardly out from the pumpkins mouth onto the tray to double as edible puke. Poke a spoon in the puke for serving and stomach turning purposes. Don't forget the basket of tortilla chips. Get the dark blue ones and call them fried bat wings.

Rotten Wormy Apples: Wash and core about 6 small apples. Bake in a 350 degree oven until they start to get soft and appear to shrivel. Let cool and arrange on a serving platter. In about 1 cup of light corn syrup add a drop or two of yellow / green food coloring to get a icky shade of slime. Put some gummy worms in the apples as well as around them. Pour the "slime" over the whole thing. Let some apples tip over or even smush some slightly to give that rotten look.

Moldy Mac and Cheese: Fresh from the dumpster this culinary delight will please your pickiest eaters. One of the easiest gross recipes for Halloween. Prepare boxed macaroni and white cheddar as instructed. One drop at a time, stir in blue and green food colorings so they streak through like mold. If you have it handy, crumble in some blue cheese for added gross out.

Maggot Stew: This is actually one of my favorite meals for any day of the week. Make your favorite red chile recipe, or any red stew. Boil enough maggots (long grained white rice) to pile on top of a bowl of the chile being careful not to mix them in.

Chop up some large black pitted olives in pieces about the size of house flys and place them on top of the pile of maggots. Some plastic flies sitting on the side of the bowl and scattered at the

base of it help add to the effect. Ew.

Fried Guts: My kids love this one. Slice up an entire package of hot dogs lengthwise. First in half, then in strips. Fry the strips in a pan until they start to curl and brown up. Pour in enough blood sauce (ketchup), to coat the hot dogs. Once the sauce is warmed remove from heat and serve with hot dog rolls on the side.

Gourmet Stuffed Roaches: You will need 1/3 cup softened cream cheese. 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts and 25 -30 dates. I've seen this done with fruit preserves instead of cream cheese, but I think it's a little over the top sweet. So I use cream cheese. Again, to make this one most gross recipes for Halloween add some food coloring to the cream cheese to make it a yucky yellowish shade. Think...smooshed roach.

Mix the cream cheese and the walnuts. Carefully stuff each date with some of the mixture. It's Ok if you need to cut them open a bit. If so just put the cut side down. Lay them on a serving dish with some plastic roaches mixed in. --Note: If you're doing this for an adult gathering only place a new, sealed can of Raid next to the plate for effect.

Rotten Eggs: We stumbled onto this by mistake at Easter while coloring eggs, and I've since found it in other places for Halloween. You need a dozen eggs; food coloring; and water. Hard boil the eggs. When cool, tap the eggs lightly all around to crack the shells, but do not remove them.

Combine some blue and green food coloring to make a moldy shade. Place the eggs in the water so they are completely covered then put on the coloring a little a time all around the eggs. Let the eggs sit for at least half an hour. Peel then serve your completely edible rotten eggs.

Barbeque Roach Eggs and Pig Snouts: For this you need a pot of Barbeque baked beans. For a 55 oz. can add 1/4 cup brown sugar; 3 Tbsp spicy brown mustard; 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and simmer. In a separate pan you are going to cook your pig snouts. Use a package of Knockwurst. Cut off the ends and chop them up to add later. Cut the remaining knockwurst in 1 inch slices so you have small circles. Use the end of a vegetable peeler to carve out two little notches in the center of each circle so it looks like a pigs snout. Fry them up until they're cooked through then add them to the pot of roach eggs. Yummy.

Bloodshot Eyes:You need, 6 hard boiled eggs, 6 oz. of softened whipped cream cheese (make sure you get the "Whipped" style), a jar of green olives with pimientos, red food coloring. Cut peeled in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. You won't need them for this dish. Fill in the eyes with the cream cheese then press an olive into the center of the cream cheese, with the pimiento facing up. This is the eyeball. Use a toothpick to draw red bloodshot lines on the "whites" of the eyes.

You can use the yolks to go ahead and make a deviled egg filling style dip. Mayo, mustard, salt, pepper then any other seasoning you'd like to use. Create your own gross recipes for Halloween. Use food coloring to make it look awful. Come up with a totally gross name. Then serve with crackers.

Popped Pimples: Just the name alone sounds nasty. One of the simplest gross recipes for Halloween. Get a container of cherry tomatoes and a tub of whipped cream cheese. You can get the flavored cream cheese if you like. Core the tomatoes, then with a butter knife stuff cream cheese into each tomatoe. Scrape the cheese level with the tomato then pinch slightly to puff the cheese out. Arrange on serving platter.

Don't forget to label all your dishes then dare your guests to dig in.
