Spooky season holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, I hosted a Halloween party every year.
Those parties were filled with decorations, tons of party food, and plenty of costumed kids running around. My parents were probably trying their best to play ring leaders with that many crazy kids set free, but isn’t that what Halloween’s about?
Fun Food for Halloween
There were no spider bread bowls at those childhood parties however the sherbet punch was always a favorite.If you’ve never had sherbet punch, it’s basically a concoction of white soda, fruit juice, and sherbet. It’s really a kid’s dream drink!
We haven’t hosted a Halloween party in years, however this past weekend our small group was getting together as usual as this week’s fun food was Halloween themed. That meant making easy bread spider accompanied by veggies and dip with a sweeter caramel cheesecake apple dip on the side. Hopefully, next week I’ll share the details on the caramel cheesecake dip because it was s delicious!

Kitchen Tools for Spider Bread
Pro Tips
- To reduce the number of rolls used, make a ball out of aluminum foil to form dough around so you won’t have to cut it out later.
- Cut two small slits in the face for eyes. We used pieces of black olives.
- Try a warm dip like this baked brie recipe.
