This will steal the show and it is a quick and simple meal! Just a little black food paste colorant turns these spaghetti noodles a vibrant black and makes for a very spooky dish. Green olives that look eerily like eyeballs top off the dish perfectly!

Use spinach pasta to whip up some wickedly good fun! I love that the eyes are made with string cheese and black olives (two of my kids’ favorite things). What a delicious Halloween dinner idea! What kid doesn’t love a wild and spooky pasta?

Using Wilton’s 3D mini skull pan, you can create these spooky (and yummy) skeleton heads. They float perfectly in this delicious tomato basil soup (this is the best soup recipe)–although you could call it a bowl of blood if you’re feeling ornery! Great for Halloween parties!

Even little ghouls need to eat real food come October 31. Feed them spaghetti brains inside of carved pepper heads. If this isn’t Halloween what is?

Stuffed Jack-o-Lanterns.

The meatball mummies are easy, and a nice twist on the common hotdog wrapped treat. They are a great finger food and use a roll of pizza dough, so you can whip them up quickly for a class party or fun snack for the kids. This one for sure is a crowd-pleasing Halloween dinner idea.

Sweet potatoes make a great jack-o-lantern treat. Their orange color makes them the perfect little Halloween treat, and with these cute shapes–the kids won’t even realize they’re eating something healthy, especially when you tell them you are serving up some fries.

This Shepherd’s pie will provide a nice hearty meal on Halloween that will fill the bellies of hungry little goblins. And, who doesn’t love a pile of mashed potatoes shaped like a cute little ghost! The peas for little eyes work so perfectly too!

Seven layer dips are always a crowd pleaser at any gathering. The guacamole and sour crème make a spooky spider web that your guests will enjoy dipping into. This is perfect for snacking on while you are handing out candy or bringing to the neighborhood Halloween party.

Way easier than carving an actual pumpkin — and more delish, we’d say. My kids love quesadillas any day!

The scariest thing about these pizza bagels is how fast we’re going to eat them. You can make these in five minutes flat and who doesn’t need that on Halloween?
