6 Spooky Appetisers for Halloween in Australia
Halloween is a time for fun and fright, and these spooky appetisers are perfect for adding a touch of the eerie to your celebration.
Many of these tasty appetisers for Halloween can be made with minimum fuss using Kaczanowski smallgoods, including leg ham, gourmet bacon, pastrami and beef brawn.
So here are six delightfully creepy meal ideas to tantalise your taste buds and spark the Halloween spirit.
Ham & Cheese Monsters
These playful monster rolls are the perfect appetiser for a Halloween gathering. Made with Australian leg ham and cheese, they come to life with olive eyes and a dash of creativity, making them as fun to look at as they are to eat.
(Hint: If you have fussy eaters, ham can be substituted for any deli meat, including beef pastrami or sliced smoked chicken).
Flayed Witches’ Fingers
These eerie finger-shaped treats are sure to give your guests a fright. Simple to make, they’re just a slice of leg ham or beef brawn ‘skin’ wrapped around asparagus ‘nails’ – with cream cheese to hold it all together. Deliciously creepy and a perfect addition to any Halloween spread.
Avocado Witch Dip
This dip board might be double trouble, but we promise it’s worth it. With a steady hand you can transform this guacamole dip into a wicked witch, with the help of a few cleverly placed vegetables.
Served with black tortilla chips, it’s a tasty dip that will enchant your guests with its spooky charm.
Pesto Spaghetti with Mozzarella Eyeballs
Delight in a plate of pesto spaghetti adorned with mozzarella eyeballs for a ghoulish effect. This dish is a frightful and flavorful way to serve up pasta at your Halloween party. Serve in small containers to make this more snack sized!
Ghost Pizza
These ghostly pizzas are a hauntingly good treat, with mozzarella ghosts floating atop a sea of tomato sauce. Easy to make and spookily delicious, they are sure to be a hit with all ages.
(Optional: Sprinkle on some diced Kaczanowski bacon for extra flavour).
Spooky Mushroom Skull Pasta
This pasta dish gets its spooky allure from squid ink spaghetti sprinkled with ‘skulls’. Plus, with its creamy bacon and mushroom sauce, we think this recipe is one of the tastiest appetisers for Halloween.
If you can spare the time to carve a few dozen mushroom skulls or ghoul faces, it’s a visually striking way to bring fright and fun to your gathering.
