40 Halloween Party Treats & Food Ideas

Sharing is caring!

Halloween’s a holiday that I hold near and dear to my heart. My kids were born on October 29th and November 1st!

I went into labor on October 31st as I walked my little sister around the neighborhood trick-or-treating. Trying to “walk that baby out!” (Do women still do that?)

I was thrilled that my kids were born so close to Halloween so I could have a reason to dress up and host countless costume parties!

Halloween party goals

Ever since I was a kid and saw on The Cosby Show Vanessa Huxtable’s home Halloween party, it’s been my thing to host the best Halloween themed birthday parties.

Vanessa’s Halloween party is in season 2 and the episode where we meet, for the first time, her first crush, Robert.

You may remember, while daydreaming about Robert, Vanessa drops an entire tray of punch-filled party glasses and runs off embarrassed— like any perfectly normal teenage girl!

Halloween treats matter- like big-time matter!

Overall, Vanessa’s costume party was Halloween goals, less the untimely spill- although she did end up with Robert by episode end!

I got to live out my own Huxtable Halloween through countless birthday parties for my kids!

One thing I learned that’s timeless and true for Halloween parties, especially for kids, is that treats matter! The more unique and creative, the better— with bonus points for the ooey-gooey jelly frosting or gummy-worm additions!

Here are 40 easy Halloween ideas that come together quickly for your very own #Goals Huxtable Halloween party for kids at home.

    A bit more of the savory dishes. Tend to get sweets burnout

      Yeah, there’s some good savory ones in here, too!

    The barfing pumpkin dip brought back some fun memories of carving pumpkin when I was a kid. We made a barfing pumpkin at my dads that his neighbors loved 🙂

    Great ideas here…guess we all have to be more creative this year!

      Thanks so much, Alex- and you’re right about being a little more creative this year.

    Cute ideas. I like the episode of The Cosby Show where they had their own haunted house. Life in the Huxtible household always seemed like fun.

    • October 27, 2020 / 6:08 pm

      Right, Mary!! That was a good episode, too! (Truly they’re all good!!)

  9. October 27, 2020 / 6:29 pm

    We are hoping to do something fun and a bit extra since we wont be trick or treating this year, so I taking note of all these fun ideas!

    Many cute ideas here, although I’d skip putting a mask on an animal as unlike humans, they can’t untie it to fit properly and could have trouble breathing or become extremely stressed with the mask.
