What are some good Halloween themed finger foods for a party?
Answers:
Kraft Kitchens has a great website filled with cute ideas for Halloween. Here's a couple of my favorites :) Have a Happy Halloween!
Skeleton and Brain Dip (see a picture here http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=re...
Lettuce leaves
1 cup KRAFT Ranch Dressing
2 cups assorted cut-up fresh vegetables, such as bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, snow peas, mushroom slices, celery sticks, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, cauliflower florets
LINE small bowl with lettuce leaves; fill with dressing. Place near one end of a large serving platter.
ARRANGE vegetables in a skeleton shape on platter, using the bowl as the head of the skeleton.
Graveyard Crunch
1/4 cup maple-flavored or pancake syrup
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
4 cups POST Cocoa, Fruity or CINNA-CRUNCH PEBBLES Cereal
1 cup PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts
2 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
1 cup candy corn
1 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces
PREHEAT oven to 300°F. Place syrup, butter and cinnamon in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 min.; stir until butter is completely melted. Add cereal and peanuts; mix lightly. Spread into lightly greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
BAKE 30 min., stirring after 15 min. Cool completely. Break into pieces; place in large bowl.
ADD marshmallows and candies; mix lightly. Store in tightly covered container at room temperature.
Coffin Sandwiches
2 slices whole wheat bread
3 slices OSCAR MAYER Smoked Ham
1 KRAFT Singles
1 Tbsp. MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1 lettuce leaf
CUT bread slices into coffin shapes.
LAYER with sliced meat, Singles, dressing and lettuce. Spear each sandwich with plastic toothpick to hold it together, if desired.
CUT sandwich into coffin shape using coffin template and sharp knife. (Click here to print template.) For an even stronger template, trace the template onto a piece of cardboard and cut out.
Cheesy Mummy Wrapped Dogs
1 can (8 oz.) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
4 KRAFT Singles, cut diagonally in half
8 OSCAR MAYER Beef Franks or Wieners
PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 8 triangles. Top each dough triangle with 1 Singles triangle and 1 frank; roll up.
PLACE, seam sides down, on ungreased baking sheet.
BAKE 12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with your favorite condiments, if desired.
Eyeball Cupcakes
1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding & Pie Filling
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar, sifted (4 to 4-1/2 cups)
24 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks
24 miniature candy-coated chocolate pieces
1 tube (19.28 g) red decorating gel
PREPARE cake batter as directed on package. Add dry pudding mix; mix well. Spoon evenly into 24 paper-lined medium muffin cups. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely.
BEAT cream cheese, butter and vanilla in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition. Spread evenly onto tops of cupcakes.
PLACE 1 fruit snack on top of each cupcake. Add 1 candy-coated chocolate piece to center of each fruit snack for the eyeball. Draw squiggly lines with decorating gel from the eyeballs to outsides of fruit snacks to resemble eyeball veins.
Ghoulish Punch
2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8-serving size) JELL-O Brand Lime Flavor Gelatin
2 cups cold orange juice
1 bottle (1 liter) seltzer, chilled
Ice cubes
1 pt. (2 cups) orange sherbet, slightly softened
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 lime, thinly sliced
STIR boiling water into dry gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in juice. Cool to room temperature.
POUR into punch bowl just before serving. Add seltzer and ice; stir.
ADD scoops of sherbet and fruit slices.
One idea is to make a big batch of this punch, put it in a punch bowl and then freeze colored water in clear gloves. Float the "hands" in the punch, it's spooky and also cools the punch!
why not try actual finger shaped(literally) biccies/cakes/lollies
This site always has good ideas...

Good luck!
"Finger sandwiches" of course!
www.HormelPepperoni.com has some great ideas and recipes.
www.FarmerJohn.com does too.
I make peanut butter crakers on Ritz crackers with tops and bottoms. Then I place three pretzel sticks on each side for legs. I place a dab of peanut butter on the top front of a craker and place two raisins for eyes. You have a spider.
You can also make DIRT...you make vanilla pudding with smashed up OREOS and then plce gummy worms in the bowl.
Roll Bananas in peanut butter and then rice crispys. Place raisins on top. Ants on a log.
I ahve seen a person make a cheeseball, place two olives on it using toothpicks for eyes, use a piece of celery for the mouth and then diplay the crackers to make it look like hair. The body can be a pepperoni with celery to make the arms and legs. Mushrooms can be placed at the ends of the celery stalks to look like fingers and toes.
There are tons more ideas at the following web site:
http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/special/...
Olives with long gummy worms sticking out of them.
here is one for you it is called severed fingers
take a package of hot dogs and carve the finger nails in them along with the knuckle lines boil them and serve in buns
another one i have seen is deviled egg eyes
make deviled eggs and in the center put a slice ( slice it so it is still in a circle.) of green olive with the red thing in it and add just a little bit of ketchup lines to look like the veins in your eyes.
hope this helps enjoy

I usually go all out with cooking for a party, but people like deserts too, and the simplest one I ever made for Halloween was a 13X9 boxed chocolate cake mix with chocolate frosting. I drew webs on it with a white gel writer and put a $2 bag of black plastic spider rings on top.
You can buy plastic eyeballs by the bag full at most party stores, throw them into your favorite punch bowl or into an ice bucket.
I used to have an after-school kids program. I used everyday foods and gave them yucky names. Cheese balls became "cheesy fried eyeballs." Chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies became "dog doo cookies." Green Hi-C became "bug juice."
got this one off of Martha Stewart...celery stalks/with peanut butter sprinkled with raisens..call it ant on a logl
meatloaf mice.
