This Halloween snack features a veggie dip skull, purple tortilla chip hair, olive facial details, a red pepper spine, orange pepper ribs, mushroom pelvis, celery limbs with tomato joints, and cauliflower-filled lettuce feet.

Directions

Position the bowl of dip at the top center of your serving tray to serve as the skull.

Fan out the purple tortilla chips around the dip bowl to mimic wild hair.

Place the small red peppers in a vertical line extending downward from the dip bowl to represent the spinal column.

Lay the thin orange pepper strips side-by-side in a row to form the rib cage.

Arrange the sliced mushrooms in a cluster below the ribs to create the pelvis.

Use black olives to craft the eyes and mouth on the dip bowl, and add a slice of the small red pepper for the nose.

Attach celery sticks to the sides and bottom of the mushroom pelvis for limbs, using halved cherry tomatoes at the joints to act as shoulders and elbows.

Tuck lettuce leaves onto the ends of the celery sticks for feet, then stuff them with cauliflower or broccoli florets to complete the look.
