Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut crescent dough into thin strips, wrap each around a mini hot dog leaving a small opening near the top, then bake until golden and hot. Dot tiny eyes using mustard or ketchup and serve warm.
  2. Slice tops off orange mini peppers and remove seeds. Cut tiny jack-o'-lantern faces into one side. Mix cream cheese, shredded cheddar, green onions, and garlic powder; spoon or pipe into peppers. Serve chilled.
  3. Peel hard boiled eggs and halve lengthwise. Remove yolks, mash with mayonnaise and yellow mustard. Pipe filling high into each white to form a ghost shape. Add eyes with black sesame seeds. Chill until serving.
  4. Thread a cherry tomato, basil leaf, and mozzarella ball onto each toothpick. Cut black olives into spider bodies and legs; place one spider on top of each bite. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.
  5. Mix cream cheese and shredded cheddar until smooth; roll into small balls and chill until firm. Coat lightly with paprika, press gentle ridges around each, add a pretzel stick stem, and a tiny parsley leaf. Serve with crackers.
  6. Spread a thin layer of black olive tapenade or cream cheese onto round butter crackers. Press a pretzel cone or Bugle onto the center for a hat. Cut tiny orange bell pepper strips and add around the base as a hat band. Serve immediately or chill briefly.
  7. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, and taco seasoning. Spoon into small clear cups, top with a thin layer of salsa. Pipe a sour cream web on top if desired and add olive spiders made from black olives. Serve chilled with chips.
  8. Cut jack-o'-lantern faces into one side of half the flour tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheddar between a plain tortilla and a cutout tortilla. Cook with butter until crisp and melted. Cut into small wedges and serve warm with salsa.
  9. Heat frozen meatballs in marinara sauce. Make eyes from mini mozzarella balls and black olive slices. Thread meatballs onto small skewers, add eyes to the top meatball or near the tip. Serve warm.
  10. Place pineapple chunks in the bottom of small clear cups, add a layer of mandarin oranges, then top with a swirl of whipped cream. Keep layers visible from the side. Serve chilled.
  11. Spread cream cheese on round crackers. Cut black olives into spider bodies and thin legs; arrange one spider on each cracker and press lightly. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
  12. Brush baguette slices with olive oil and toast until crisp. Pipe or spread pumpkin cream cheese spread on top in rounded mounds. Add short chive pieces as stems. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.
  13. Split mini bagels and spread with pizza sauce. Cut ghost shapes from mozzarella cheese slices using a ghost cookie cutter. Place ghost cheese on bagels, add eyes from tiny pieces of mini pepperoni. Bake until melted and hot.
