2. Witch’s Brew Punch

  • Instructions: Make deviled eggs as usual, then add “veins” with a toothpick dipped in food coloring and top with an olive “pupil.”

6. Apple Monster Mouths

  • Ingredients: Apples, peanut butter (or cream cheese), mini marshmallows

  • Instructions: Slice apples, spread peanut butter on one side, and press mini marshmallows between two slices to look like monster teeth!

7. Spider Chocolate Pretzel Webs

  • Ingredients: Pretzel sticks, melted white or dark chocolate, mini chocolate spiders (optional)

  • Instructions: Arrange pretzel sticks in a web shape, drizzle with melted chocolate, and add a chocolate spider on top if desired.
