An easy way to incorporate this character into your Halloween movie night is by making these marshmallow pops.

If you want your inner baker to shine, try making the crust and the filling yourself. If not, there is always the option of using store-bought ingredients! To make the hand-sized apple pies look even more spooky, cover them as if you were dressing a mummy with little eyes and a mouth, and I am sure these will get you into Halloween spirit.

18. Pumpkin Cupcakes

Halloween-themed movie snacks don’t necessarily have to look ghoulish! You can always stick to the theme of Halloween by using Halloween-friendly ingredients! Pumpkins are a huge part of Halloween, and it would only be fair to include a treat with pumpkins in this list. Voila, here we have pumpkin cupcakes! 

These cupcakes can again be a little more time-consuming as compared to some of the other recipes. However, the end product is totally worth it! All you need is some pumpkin puree to be mixed in with a vanilla cupcake batter and also some frosting. Add some pumpkin pie spice to experience an even better flavor combination. 

19. Mummy Brie

Instead of making bite-sized portions for everyone, you can also opt for a single grazing platter that everyone can share. Something that most people love when it comes to savory food is cheese, of course. Moreover, in case you use brie cheese and bake it to make mummy brie, the flavor is really delicious, along with the gooey goodness! 

The best part about this snack is that you won’t have to worry about serving crackers with the cheese separately. Wrap a wheel of brie with some store-bought pizza dough in a way that it resembles a mummy. Bake the wheel and serve alongside some fruits, dry fruits, or even a glass of white wine. 

20. Dracula Dentures

Spider bread can be put together quite quickly and is a crowd favorite as it does taste a lot like pizza! 

To make spider bread, you will need some store-bought pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce, which can be homemade or store-bought. All you have to do is shape the bread in a way that it looks like a spider crawling. You can serve some marinara sauce on the side for dipping or even in the center. 

22. Red Velvet Cookies

Halloween is quite a lot associated with red colors. So, although red velvet cookies might not sound extremely spooky, the sharp red color will truly bring everyone into Halloween spirits. These cookies are quite simple, as you can use store-bought cookie dough to make them, or you can even make the dough from scratch if you want to be adventurous.

To make these cookies, you will need to make or buy a basic chocolate chip cookie dough. Mix in some neon red gel food coloring in the dough, and try adding red chocolate chips if you can find any. Bake the cookies, and that’s about it. Serve them alongside some milk to make them taste even better. 

23. Marshmallow Toppers

So, hot chocolate is genuinely incomplete if it isn’t topped with some marshmallows. Even if it isn’t hot chocolate, in general, Marshmallows are delicious and make a great snack for Halloween. To make your hot chocolate as spooky as possible, try out some ghost marshmallow toppers. 

These toppers can be customized however you wish them to. Cut them and decorate them as you would like, with some chocolate.

Either way, it can also be a fun activity to have with your friends and family before the movie night actually begins! 

24. Mini Monster Sandwiches

I know it isn’t afternoon tea but Halloween that we are talking about. But whoever said finger sandwiches couldn’t make a great movie snack! Although it may surprise many of you, mini sandwiches are actually a great snack for a movie night. They barely need any preparation time, and they are also really delicious!

You can use different cuts of meat, vegetables, sauces, and much more to make little monster sandwiches which I am sure your guests will be gaga about! 

25. Mini Meringue Ghost Tarts

Tarts are absolutely divine when it comes to talking about different flavors and textures. Moreover, the flavor pairings that can be done to make tarts are almost endless. To make Mini Meringue Ghost Tarts, you can stick to a simple chocolate tart recipe, which can be really easy to make. 

Once your tart is filled with some chocolaty goodness, top them up with cute little meringue ghosts. These meringue ghosts can be made the same way as Monster Meringue Cookies. When combined together, the crispy tart and smooth chocolate fit perfectly well with melt-in-your-mouth meringue cookies. 

26. Pumpkin Tortilla Chips

Planning on what to serve on a movie night can be a daunting task. However, there are certain snacks that are loved by most people, and they honestly make things much easier for the host. One such thing that everyone loves is chips. On Halloween movie night, you can easily upgrade from regular chips to baked tortilla chips! 

Baked Pumpkin Tortilla chips, as they are a healthy version of regular potato chips, might not sound as appetizing. But, these chips are so delicious that you can barely even tell the difference from their fried counterparts! To make these chips more Halloween theme friendly, cut up some tortillas in pumpkin shapes and bake. Once done, serve with some of your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious experience. 

27. Party Snack Mix

Parties, or in this case, movie nights, are incomplete without a grazing bowl of snack mix. The best part about a snack mix is indeed the fact that you can include whatever you would wish to! Don’t have the time to upgrade your popcorn to something fancy? That’s alright, as you can just make a snack mix instead. 

Although I mentioned that you could include whatever you would like, I have taken this opportunity to tell you about my favorite snack mix combination! If I were to make a party snack mix, it would include butter popcorn, pretzel sticks, candy corn, and gummy worms. The sweet and salty combination actually works really well. Try it for yourself! 

28. Guacamole Eyeballs

Yet again, something that is Halloween themed, but I won’t blame you if these sound too spooky! Although it is Halloween, it isn’t a time when we can indulge in actual eyeballs. Oh, but we can surely indulge in some guacamole eyeballs. These bite-sized snacks are delicious and easy to make, perfect for a movie night. 

With Guacamole eyeballs, the only prep you will have to do is boil some eggs. That is all, yes! However, in case of store-bought guacamole isn’t your thing, you can, of course, instead make it yourself. To assemble these, all you have to do is scoop out the yolks from the boiled eggs and scoop in the guac. Add some olives on top to make them look extra spooky! 

29. Pumpkin Devilled Eggs

Halloween is not really just about making everything spooky! Like I had mentioned earlier, sometimes you can stick to the Halloween theme by just using Halloween-themed ingredients! The first thing that may come to mind is, of course, pumpkins. Devilled eggs made with pumpkins might sound over the top, but it is actually quite delightful! 

To make Pumpkin Devilled Eggs, you won’t have to remove the yolk and chuck it away. Instead, mix the yolks with some unsweetened pumpkin puree, along with chives, salt, and a pinch of paprika or cayenne. Once everything is mixed together, pipe the mixture back into the egg whites and serve these delicious treats! 

30. Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Pretzels make a great snack to munch on, whether it is after a drink, a party, or for Halloween movie night! The type of pretzel to use to make these little snacks is completely up to you. Although hard pretzels do hold their shape better, even soft ones will do if handled properly. 

Chocolate Dipped Pretzels only need two more ingredients other than pretzels, white and dark chocolate. Once you have melted both the chocolates, dip the pretzels in some white chocolate and let it dry. Once completely dry, you can pipe a cute or spooky face with dark chocolate or even sprinkles. These cute little ghosts will be a hit for your movie night! 

31. Spider Cupcakes

Cupcakes will never fail to be a delicious snack for any occasion whatsoever. Especially on Halloween, when you get a full chance to enjoy all your sweet guilty pleasures! Cakes can be a little hard to divide while having movie nights. Hence, cupcakes come to the rescue, and that too spooky Spider Cupcakes! 

If you are running short on time, you can easily use store-bought cupcakes to make Spider Cupcakes. The flavor can also be as per your liking. Once the cupcakes are frosted, you can decorate them with some chocolate spider web. For the chocolate spider web, you just need to pipe the chocolate in the shape of a web on a piece of parchment. Although, remember not to serve these to someone with Arachnophobia! 

32. Halloween Snitch

Everyone who is a Harry Potter fan must have a huge sigh of relief after reading this. Yes, of course, if we are talking about Halloween movie night snacks, I wouldn’t miss out on this iconic movie series! The Halloween Snitch, although it doesn’t say much about the dish, is a ball of delicious cheesy goodness! 

These little balls are bite-sized and made with a mixture of goat’s cheese and cheddar cheese. Once the mixture is ready, roll up some bite-sized balls. Finally, add two wing-shaped pieces of tortillas or pretzel sticks on the side. All your guests who love Harry Potter will be very pleased with this snack. 

33. Pumpkin Hand Pies

By now, I think you must have guessed the fact that Pumpkins are one of my favorite veggies to use on Halloween! Well, they are so versatile. Can you really blame me? Pumpkins work in both savory and sweet snack recipes, and so, if pumpkin pie is your thing, you need to try their tiny versions. 

You can use some store-bought pie crust in case the tie doesn’t allow you to make your own. Fill the pie crust with some delicious pumpkin pie filling, perfectly balanced with pumpkin pie spice. To make them look spooky, you can cover them in a way that they look like mummies.
