Directions

  1. For the Pimento Cheese Finger Sandwiches from The Hungry Waitress, use slivered almonds or sliced red grapes to create fingernails instead of olives.
  2. To make Candy Corn Rice Onigiri from Love at First Bento, pair them with leftover stir fry or rolled-up lunch meat.
  3. Prepare Chocolate and Peanut Butter Protein Ball Spiders from Eating Richly as a snack or alongside fruit, vegetables, and pita chips.
  4. For Eyeball Subs from C It Nutritionally, use vegan 'meatballs' or store-bought meatballs with jarred sauce, then wrap the entire sandwich in foil for packing.
  5. Make Chocolate-covered Pretzel Ghosts from Culinary Envy, or substitute yogurt for chocolate as a healthier alternative.
  6. Assemble Scary Fruit Kebabs from Girl Loves Glam using skewers and add gummy worms.
  7. Create Sweet Potato Eyeballs from AI Made it for You, featuring a vitamin-filled sweet potato mixture inside and a white chocolate coating outside.
  8. Prepare Hot Dog Mummies from Beyond the Chicken Coop using a healthy brand of hot dogs.
