Tips for Easy and Creative Assembly
Halloween finger foods work best when they’re easy for guests to grab and go. Use toothpicks, mini skewers, or small cups for serving. Have fun with food coloring (think green guac or purple hummus), candy eyes, and fun platters. Mix savory and sweet options—you’ll keep kids happy and balance sugary treats with more filling bites.
