Our Favorite Halloween Recipes for Kids
Want some frightfully delicious bites to serve your little ones on Halloween? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re looking for mummified muffins for a Halloween breakfast, themed dinners to serve before trick-or-treating, a few haunted desserts for your party or some family-friendly Halloween sips, you’ll find it here—starting with these crescent dough-wrapped hot dogs. They’re a great addition to any Halloween get-together but you could just as easily serve them up as a family-friendly dinner before going door to door. Best of all, they’re a cinch to make. The dough is very forgiving and doesn’t need to be wrapped perfectly—these are ancient mummies, after all!
Banana Ghosts with Peanut Butter Dip
These frozen banana ghosts are a fun Halloween snack that’s also super easy. They’re great with the sweet and creamy peanut butter dip made extra spooky with a spider web piped from melted chocolate. Feel free to add apple and pear slices as well as graham crackers to round out the platter with more dipping options. The ghosts and dip can be made ahead but the dip will firm up when chilled, so be sure remove it from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving.
Frankenstein Crispy Rice Treats
Spooky? Silly? Sultry? There’s no wrong answer when you’re creating a monster. The basic crispy rice treat recipe we all know and love gets a splash of green to make the perfect canvas for creativity. A dip in chocolate for some hair and a couple of mini marshmallows for neck bolts, then you get to be the mad scientist with candies, icing and whatever edible decorations you can find. They’re frighteningly delicious!
Candy Corn Waffles
Candy corn for breakfast? It's cool! Everyone will approve when you're talking Candy Corn Waffles. Tint the batter with orange and yellow food coloring, then dip the end of each waffle triangle in white chocolate for tricolored breakfast treats that look just like the beloved candy.
Halloween Cocoa Ghost Pancakes
These ghost pancakes are perfect for a weekend Halloween breakfast! An assortment of ghost cookie cutters and sprinkles lets kids get creative with their designs. Little kids can keep it simple with mini chocolate chips and blueberries, while big kids can experiment with piping tasty fudge sauce.
