Quantity
Large eggs
6
Mayonnaise
3 tablespoons
Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/4 teaspoon
Pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Paprika
1/2 teaspoon
Black olives (sliced)
12 (for spiders)
Black olives (whole)
6 (for spider bodies)
Cooking Steps:
Prepare the Eggs: Place the large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 12 minutes.
Cool the Eggs: After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Allow them to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
Peel the Eggs: Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Start peeling from the larger end, and rinse the eggs under cold water to remove any stubborn shell pieces.
Slice the Eggs: Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter, cut side up.
Make the Filling: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and paprika to the bowl. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, mounding it slightly in the center for a spooky appearance.
Create the Spiders: Take the whole black olives and place one on top of each filled egg half to represent the spider body. For the spider legs, slice the remaining black olives into quarters and arrange them around the body to create eight legs.
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the Spider Deviled Eggs for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve cold and enjoy the creepy yet delicious appetizer with your guests!
Mummy Meatballs
Mummy Meatballs are a fun and festive appetizer for Halloween parties, combining the savory taste of meatballs with an adorable mummy twist. Wrapped in strips of crescent dough that resemble bandages, these meatballs are not only delicious but also make for an eye-catching treat on any spooky table.
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Make the Meatball Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined, but avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
Form the Meatballs: Roll the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should end up with approximately 12-15 meatballs.
Bake the Meatballs: Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and register 165°F (74°C) internally. Remove them from the oven and set aside.
Prepare the Crescent Dough: While the meatballs are baking, open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Do not separate the triangles; instead, press the dough into a rectangle to form a sheet. Cut the dough into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Wrap the Meatballs: Take each baked meatball and wrap it with the strips of crescent dough, leaving a small opening for the “eyes” to peek out. You can sort of overlap the strips to give it a bandage effect. This will create the mummy appearance. Place the wrapped meatballs back on the baking sheet.
Add Cheese Strips: Place a small strip of mozzarella cheese in the center of each wrapped meatball where the eyes should be.
Finish Baking: Return the wrapped meatballs to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Add Eyes: After removing the meatballs from the oven, use a toothpick or a small dipper to add two dots of mustard on each meatball where the cheese strips are to create eyes.
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the Mummy Meatballs on a serving platter and enjoy them warm with your guests!

These skewers feature fresh mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, and basil, all artfully arranged to resemble little ghosts. They are not only easy to assemble but also provide a rejuvenating contrast to the heavier dishes often served during the spooky season.
Prepare the Skewers: Start by gathering your ingredients and laying them out on a clean surface. Take your skewers and set them aside for assembly.
Assemble the Ghosts: On each skewer, begin by threading a fresh mozzarella ball. Position it at the top of the skewer to create the head of the ghost.
Add the Body: Follow the mozzarella ball with a cherry tomato, which will form the body of the ghost. This vibrant color contrasts nicely with the white cheese.
Add the Eyes: Take a sliced black olive and press it gently onto the mozzarella ball to create the ghost’s eyes. You can place it slightly off-center for a more playful look.
Garnish with Basil: After adding the olive eyes, top off each skewer with a fresh basil leaf to act as the ghost’s “cape.” You can slightly fold the basil for added effect.
Season the Skewers: Once all the skewers are assembled, lightly sprinkle them with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.

String cheese sticks

Assemble the Broomsticks: Take a pretzel stick and insert one of the cut cheese pieces onto the top to resemble the broom head. Press it down gently to secure it in place.
Wrap with Chives: Take a fresh chive or parsley sprig and wrap it around the base of the cheese broom head, secure it by tying a simple knot or twisting it to hold it in place. This will give the broomstick an authentic look.

Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Once smooth, taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference.
Serve the Hummus: Transfer the pumpkin hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle a little olive oil on top and garnish with pumpkin seeds for added crunch and a festive look.
