My Favorite Quick Halloween Dinner Recipes

Start Halloween night off with a fun chili puff made from pop n fresh biscuits! Have the kids decorate them to look like monsters!

Another favorite Halloween dinner is my Frankenstein pasta! Also a favorite with adults too!

I wanted to make sure my kids would eat something healthy and filling for dinner before running out the door to get lots of candy!

These quick, fast and filling Chili Puff Creatures are perfect!

Don’t forget to check out my family Halloween party! We went all out making these decorations, this food and these super cute party favors.

We even created this Jack Skellington!

You can also make these as appetizers by using a mini muffin pan.

Chili puff Recipe

Ingredients

Shredded cheese

Sour cream

Sliced olives

Guacamole

Salsa

1 can Pop n fresh biscuits

Canned turkey chili or your favorite type of chili

The biscuits are quite large so I formed them into round disks and fit them into the greased muffin tins.

Spoon chili into biscuits cups, top with shredded cheese.

Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden and cheese is melted.

Top with guacamole, sour cream and sliced olives

Freaky Halloween tomato eyeballs

These eye balls are creepy but fun and easy to make.

This is a great way to get kids to eat vegetables by serving food in a creepy way.

Plus letting them in on the fun by letting them create the eyeballs themselves.

Ingredients:

Small tomatoes

Guacamole

Sliced olives

Lettuce for garnish

Start by slicing off a small portion on one end of the tomato so that it will stand on end.

Slice off another section from the other end.

With a sharp knife or tiny spoon scoop out the seeds and a little of the flesh to create an opening for the guacamole.

Fill a small ziplock bag with guacamole, snip off the corner and squeeze the guacamole into each of the tomatoes and top with a sliced olive.

Tip: Make sure guacamole is smooth or the chunks will get stuck when you squeeze it out the ziplock bag.

Serve on a bed of lettuce.

Mummy Hot dogs for a Quick Easy Halloween dinner

Hot dogs wrapped in pillsbury crescent dough is just about as easy as it gets! Plus you don’t have to make them. Let the kids do the work!

I taught the kids to make these when I had kids cooking classes and they loved them!

Ingredients

Hot dogs (my favorite are Nathans hot dogs)

Pillsbury crescent dough

Unroll the dough. Press perforations together to create 4 rectangles. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 skinny pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.

Wrap 4 little pieces of dough around each hot dog to create the mummy affect. (we made slices in hot dogs for arms and legs)

Some of the kids used long pieces of dough to wrap their hot dogs.

Optional- Add cheese and slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half). Place cheese on top of hot dog before you wrap the dough around.

Bake on a cookies sheet at 375 degrees or until dough is golden and hot dog is cooked.

Create faces with mustard or ketchup.

Witch finger cookie recipe

These creepy looking cookies are my favorite! They are basically the same as these Christmas cookies but you shape them like witch fingers!
