Halloween Party Snacks



We had a Halloween Party this past weekend. The girls hosted a murder mystery, written by Bethany, and a costume party. Lots of fun was had by all.

And lots of snacks were eaten!



I thought the Mummy Dogs were very cute...and so easy.

We used one package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and cut the dough into very thin strips. We wrapped the strips around hot dogs that we had cut in half. We were looking for finger food, not an entire entree. Then Delaney used a toothpick to put green food color eyes on the mummies. Baked them at 375 for 12-16 minutes. The hot dogs were Cheddarwurst, Beef, and Turkey dogs. The Cheddarwurst sort of "blew out" which made them even creepier looking!



Also on deck were Monster Eyeballs... Devilled eggs with green olive eyes! To add an extra measure of creepiness, I let the peeled hard boiled eggs sit in a some red food coloring with white vinegar for a few minutes.


To top the evening off, Amanda and I made Broken Glass Cupcakes! We've seen several of these posted at Pinterest and we used portions of EasyBaked's Recipe for the most part.
For the glass, we used almond flavoring.
I think if we made it again, we'd spray Quick Release Aluminum Foil instead of waxed paper. 
Don't they look yummy? And they really were easy.
