Halloween is such a fun time of year. Except for when you think it is just a fun time of year and you take your children to the local Halloween store, full of dismembered body parts, Zombie children’s costumes, and gore of all kinds. Then you remember that some people celebrate Halloween in a not-so-fun way. But that’s off point. To keep this holiday fun and devil-worshipping-free, I looked up some super fun ways to celebrate Halloween 2011 with food. The kids will go crazy over these tasty and festive treats!
This first image? Self explanatory. And ohhh soooo goood.

Last year I tried to go all out. For breakfast we had ghost-shaped pancakes with chocolate chip eyes, ghost-blood (aka milk), and these jack-o-lanterns (cut out of oranges) filled with bug guts (mixed fruit.) I set it up so well that Mackay refused to eat any of it because it sounded too disgusting. How can it be disgusting when it looks so cute? Better luck this year.

These little mummy-hot dogs look way too cute and what kid doesn’t like hot dogs? (What adult doesn’t like hot dogs?)

These little spiders look delicious, and disgusting, all at the same time.Would be great for a party, or to create with your kiddos!

And for a healthy snack during the day these little Apple Bites couldn’t be cuter.

I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween 2011 and create some fun memories with your kids they won’t soon forget! If you have any fun and creative ideas or traditions in your family, leave a comment and let me know–I would love to hear them!
