23 Halloween Party Appetizers - Mummy Dogs

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Unroll your crescent dough and using a pizza cutter or large knife, cut the dough into ¼ inch wide strips lengthwise.

Wrap the strips of dough around the hot dogs like bandages on a mummy. They should overlap but still showcase the hot dog inside!

Place on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes or until the pastry in cooked through and golden brown.

Skewer onto wooden skewers and add candy eyes using ketchup or mustard to hold them in place.

These Halloween Witch Hat Calzones are a delicious appetizer or side dish for your Halloween menu. They are perfect to serve at Halloween parties or just for fun at home!

Halloween Witch Hat Calzones

pepperoni, sliced small ((an additional 10 slices to decorate the hats))

mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese, grated

cream cheese, softened

crescent rolls ((8 ounce each package))

egg, slightly beaten

water

salt

black pepper

Italian Seasoning

marinara sauce, served warm

Sauteed Peppers & Onions

Italian Sausage

Preheat the oven to 425°F  Place parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet. Cook the sausage, peppers, and onions if using.

Slice up ½ cup of the pepperoni into small pieces. Set aside. Cut some extra pepperoni (about 8-10 additional slices) into fun shapes to decorate the hat (diamonds, triangles, crescent moons). Set those aside.

In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, &amp; Italian seasoning.

Mix together the softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, peppers, onions, sausage, ½ cup pepperoni, and a generous sprinkle of the seasoning mixture in a medium-sized bowl until combined well.

Unroll the crescent rolls into separate triangles. Place four of the triangles on the prepared baking sheet and set the other four to the side. (The triangles that are set aside will be the tops of the calzones.) If you have two baking sheets, put four on each sheet. If you only have one, do this with one tube of crescent rolls at a time. If the dough gets too warm, it can tear.

Slightly beat the egg in a small bowl. Mix in the water. Brush on the egg at the edges of the crescent rolls that are on the baking sheet.

Spoon out 1½ to 2 tablespoons onto the center of each crescent roll.

Take the other half of the crescent rolls and place each one on top of the crescent roll with the cheese mixture.

Gently press together at the edges to make sure the cheese mixture stays inside the crescent rolls while baking.

Fold up the bottom of the crescent roll so it looks like the brim of a witch’s hat. Work the tip of the hat so it looks more like a witch hat.

Brush the witch hats with a little of the egg.

Place a few fun shaped pepperoni pieces onto the of brim of the hat. (triangles, diamonds, crescent moons)

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the hats.

Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake at 425°F for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Serve with warm marinara sauce. (I use our favorite sauce from the grocery store and warm it up in the microwave. I place the sauce in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 15 second increments until it is warm enough.)

Ghoulish, spiderweb-patterned eggs filled with a creamy, tangy mixture. Perfect for Halloween celebrations.

Spooky Spiderweb Deviled Eggs

eggs,

water, enough to cover eggs

black food coloring gel

white vinegar

mayonnaise

Dijon mustard

apple cider vinegar

kosher salt

Smoked paprika

Black sesame seeds

chives

Crack Eggshells

Gently tap cooled, hard-boiled eggs with the back of a spoon to create a network of fine cracks on the shells without peeling.

Prepare Coloring Solution

In a sealable container or deep bowl, mix water and black food coloring gel until fully combined and dark in color.

Soak Eggs

Submerge cracked eggs completely in the coloring solution, ensuring they are fully covered. Add extra water if needed.

Refrigerate for Spiderweb Pattern

Cover and refrigerate the eggs for a minimum of 3 hours, or overnight for a more intense effect.

Peel Eggs

Remove eggs from solution, rinse under cool water, add a splash of white vinegar to set the color, then carefully peel to reveal the spiderweb pattern.

Halve and Remove Yolks

Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl.

Prepare Yolk Filling

Mash yolks until finely crumbled. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Optional - Color Yolk Mixture

For an extra spooky effect, blend in a drop of green or purple food coloring gel if desired.

Fill Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white cavities evenly.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with smoked paprika, black sesame seeds, or chopped chives. Serve chilled.
