Having now spent more years than I want to count hosting Halloween parties, friends, and trick-or-treaters, I take a cue from my mother. On October 31, you will always find a simmering pot of chili (stovetop, Instant Pot, or slow cooker), skillet cornbread, platters of veggies and dip, and always, always, donuts. Donuts are an absolute must!
Halloween Recipes: Appetizers
To get the party started and keep the trick-or-treaters satisfied, we have ideas for Halloween appetizers like 10 Minute Halloween 7 Layer Dip or Roasted Pumpkin Hummus you can serve with pita chips or healthy veggies (more ideas for nourishing treats on our Healthy Halloween Treats post), or 5 Minute Fall Crack.
Halloween Recipes: Entrees
While party guests often want to rush for the treats, and trick-or-treaters are ready to head out the door with a few bites of Halloween candy, entice them with a hearty and delicious meal like Easy Pumpkin Turkey Chili or Vegetarian Chili. And if chili isn’t their thing, try Pumpkin Mac and Cheese for a festive meal.
