1. Severed Olive Fingers:
For an easy and eerie appetizer, take pitted green olives and stuff them with cream cheese. To create the illusion of a finger, place a sliced almond on top of each olive as a fingernail. Arrange them in a dish to resemble a creepy platter of severed fingers.

2. Mummy Hot Dogs:
Wrap crescent roll dough strips around mini hot dogs, leaving a small part exposed as a “head.” Bake them in the oven until golden brown, then add two dots of mustard for eyes. The result? Adorable, yet haunting mummy fingers that will disappear from the plate in no time.

3. Witch Finger Pretzel Rods:
Melt some green candy melts and coat pretzel rods with this spooky green mixture. Before it hardens, add sliced almonds as fingernails, and use a toothpick to create knuckle textures. Let them cool and harden, and you’ll have creepy witch fingers that are both salty and sweet.

4. Spider Deviled Eggs:
Prepare deviled eggs as usual, but instead of simply mixing the yolk with mayo and spices, shape them into oval balls. Place small pieces of black olive on top for the spider’s body, and use thin slices of black olive to create the legs. These spider deviled eggs are the perfect combination of creepy and delicious.

5. Bloody Band-Aid Cookies:
These cookies are easy to make and will leave your guests both amused and spooked. Take square-shaped cookies and spread a thin layer of red frosting to resemble blood. Place a piece of white icing or fondant on top, indicating a band-aid, then add red gel icing to simulate the blood seeping out.

6. Apple Marshmallow Teeth:
This one is perfect for the little ones. Cut two apple slices and smear marshmallow fluff on one side. Stick mini marshmallows in between the slices, creating the illusion of teeth. Serve these tasty and creepy apple marshmallow teeth on a platter, and watch your kids grin from ear to ear.

7. Monster Finger Grapes:
Simply cut open green grapes lengthwise, leaving a small portion uncut as the base. Insert a sliced almond into the uncut portion to resemble a fingernail. These monster finger grapes are healthy, simple, and eerie.

8. Raspberry Jelly Worms:
For these wriggly treats, mix raspberry jelly and gelatin according to the package instructions. Pour the mixture into a long, flexible tube (like a straw or a food-grade plastic bag with a small hole at one end). Let it chill in the fridge until solid, then push the worm-like jelly out of the straw or bag. Serve these wiggly raspberry jelly worms on a bed of chocolate cookie crumbs for an extra creepy effect.

9. Candied Bones:
Melt some white chocolate and shape them into bone-like figures on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Place in the fridge until hardened, and voila! You have some ghostly, candied bones that will surely make your guests shiver.

10. Mummified Cheese Sticks:
Wrap thin strips of phyllo dough around cheese sticks, leaving a small area exposed at one end as the “head.” Bake them in the oven until the dough turns golden brown, and use mustard or small pieces of black olive to create the eyes. These mummified cheese sticks are simple to make and addictively delicious.
