Three easy Halloween snack ideas to steal from Instagram

Forget boring vampire gum sweets and bloody toffee apples. Get creative this Halloween and delight your kids with food that's ghoulish, ghastly and delicious.

Try these snack ideas from social media:

GHOSTY MERINGUES

Shop-bought or made from scratch, you need nothing more than some black or red icing to add eyes and an open mouth to each meringue. Boo!

BLOODY FINGER HOTDOGS

Super easy to make and truly horrible, these severed “finger” hot dogs are sure to go down a treat at any Halloween event. All you need is Vienna sausages with a small slice cut out of the sausage skin where the fingernail would be and some gashes to make finger joints. Serve them in hot dog rolls complete with some tomato sauce “blood” at the base of each finger.

EYEBALL SPAGHETTI BOWLS

Simple flavour and colour cooked spaghetti with pesto. Add bocconcini balls decorated with sliced black olives to make the eyes. Voila!
