1

Graveyard Greens

Start by washing and preparing your favorite green veggies. Cut some celery into tombstone shapes, and use a small knife to carve 'RIP' or other spooky messages into them. Arrange the tombstones on a serving platter, and surround them with a bed of leafy greens.

2

Creepy Carrots

Peel and slice some carrots into finger-sized pieces. Use a small knife to create a shallow, curved groove near one end of each carrot, resembling a fingernail. Place the carrots on the platter, arranging them to look like a frightful finger buffet!

3

Spider Web Dip

Prepare a dip of your choice (such as ranch or hummus) and place it in the center of the platter. Use a squeeze bottle filled with black food coloring to create a spider web pattern on top of the dip. Start with a small dot in the center, then draw lines outward, connecting them with curved lines to form a web. Don't worry, the spiders won't mind sharing their web with your tasty dip!

Cauldron of Veggies

Find a small cauldron or a Halloween-themed bowl. Fill it with bite-sized veggies like cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, and sugar snap peas. This cauldron of veggies will add an extra touch of magic to your spooky platter!

Eyeball Surprise

Turn simple olives into eyeballs by stuffing them with small pieces of cream cheese. Place them randomly on the platter to give your guests a playful fright! Who knew eyeballs could be so delicious?
