Gross and Creepy Halloween Dinner Recipes

Feed your crowd a gross, gruesome Halloween dinner to remember this year! A few minor additions to some favorite dishes can add creepy fun to your Halloween buffet, if you can convince your guests to eat it....

Moldy Bleu Dip
Whet your guests' appetites for Halloween dinner with the ususal veggie platter, but arrange the vegetable sticks in a skeleton shape on the serving platter. Dip them in Moldy Bleu dip: Mix equal amounts of sour cream and mayo, some seasoned salt (a teaspoon for each cup of dip), and a drop or two of blue or green food coloring for creepy effect. Crumble in some blue cheese and stir it into the dip, and then crumble a bit more bleu cheese on top of the dip before you serve it.

Spaghetti and Eyeballs
Spaghetti dinners are popular, and relatively inexpensive when you're feeding a crowd. Prepare "Spaghetti and Eyeballs" for your guests by cutting green, pimento-stuffed olives in half and sticking one half (cut side out) into each meatball before baking them. Create disgusting-looking "Vomit sauce" by mixing cottage cheese into a chunky-style spaghetti sauce. Serve the meatballs on top of the spaghetti and vomit sauce, with the eyes staring eerily at your guests.

Oven-Barbecued "Bat" Wings
Your guests who can't stomach the spaghetti might enjoy Oven-Barbecued "Bat" Wings. Boil chicken wings for about 20 minutes, drain them and lay them in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Mix some black food coloring into your favorite barbecue sauce before pouring it over the wings. Bake your bat wings at 350 for about 20 minutes. Use full wings with the tips tucked back for the creepiest effect.

Spooky Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup
For each fruit cup, slice off the top of an orange just as you would the top of a pumpkin. Carefully scoop out the orange pulp and mix it with chunks of pineapple, fruit cocktail, or whatever fruits you prefer. Mini-marshmallows, nuts, and flaked coconut can be included if you wish. Use a black marker to draw a scary jack-o-lantern face on each orange, and then fill the empty orange with the fruit salad. Make small cardboard rings out of strips of black posterboard to hold the oranges upright and place one at each setting. If the eyeballs staring at them from the spaghetti don't bother your guests, maybe the scary Jack-O-Lantern faces will unnerve them.

Krispie Poo
To end your meal with the ultimate Halloween dinner gross-out, offer your guests a Krispy Poo for dessert. Make marshmallow krispie treats in the usual manner, but instead of putting them in a pan, let the mixture cool enough to handle. Butter your hands and shape the mixture into appropriately sized and shaped logs, and lay the treats on wax paper to cool. Melt some chocolate and brush the melted brown goo across the tops and sides of the krispie logs. For the most realistic, "partially-digested corn" effect, stick some candy corn ends on them before the chocolate hardens. Cut the wide ends off of some candy corn and stick them, cut end down, to each Krispie Poo. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden (put them in the frig to hurry them along) before serving your gross Halloween treats.
