  • - [Host] What kind of street does a ghost like most?

  • A dead end.

  • So whether you live in Ghost-a Rica, Boo-dapest

  • or anywhere else, these quick and simple Halloween treats

  • are sure to steal the show.

  • You can make some spooktacular doughnut bats

  • with a handful of ingredients

  • in just a few minutes.

  • All you need to get started

  • are some chocolate-covered doughnuts,

  • chocolate wafers,

  • chocolate frosting,

  • and candy eyes.

  • Oh and don't forget your choice of edible fangs.

  • For each doughnut, break a wafer in half

  • and stick one on each side for the wings.

  • Break up another wafer into smaller triangles

  • and use it as ears for each bat.

  • Now you can add almond slivers, sunflower seeds or sprinkles

  • as fangs by simply stabbing them into the center

  • of the doughnut.

  • Add candy eyes with dabs of frosting to hold them in place.

  • And look at that.

  • A deliciously creepy doughnut.

  • Creep your guests out with this crunchy carrot finger food.

  • Pick out four longer carrots for fingers

  • and then one shorter one as the thumb.

  • Wash and peel your carrots before cutting them to size.

  • Then carve a shallow, flat notch

  • into the top of each carrot.

  • Place your veggie dip in a bowl

  • and use a few dabs of it to hold your fingernails in place.

  • You can use almond slices, pumpkin seeds,

  • or anything similar.

  • Carefully place each finger in the dip

  • to form your hand and then dress up your dish

  • with some baby carrots for dipping.

  • It's the perfect party platter that hungry guests

  • can't wait to get their fingers on.

  • With just a few ingredients, you can create

  • these fun monster mouths.

  • For this snack, choose a bright red apple for the lips,

  • and remove the core and cut an even number of slices.

  • To make sure the teeth stay in place,

  • use a generous coat of creamy peanut butter on each side.

  • For each pair of lips, place three to four

  • mini-marshmallows with the peanut butter on one side

  • and then sandwich it together with the other slice

  • to form your smile.

  • White chocolate chips are a fun alternative

  • for fang-like teeth.

  • Decorate or design them however you wish.

  • The important thing is to have fun

  • and create smiles in the process.

  • How about some bloody Band-Aid cookies?

  • You can make this disgustingly delicious treat

  • for partygoers with minimal ingredients

  • and in just a few steps.

  • All you need is a package of graham crackers,

  • white frosting or icing, and either red frosting

  • or decorating gel.

  • Start by breaking the graham cracker into sections

  • and spread white icing onto the middle of each cracker.

  • Try to form a square in the middle third

  • and then add a dab of red icing

  • to create your bloody-looking, unthinkably scary

  • Band-Aid treats.

  • They actually taste like gingerbread cookies,

  • so kids'll love 'em.

  • Nothing quite says Halloween

  • like the iconic face of a jack-o'-lantern.

  • But perhaps you're running low on time, funds,

  • or even resources.

  • Instead of carving out pumpkins and dealing with the mess,

  • make some out of some citrus fruit.

  • Get yourself a bag of small orange citrus

  • and a black permanent marker and you're in business.

  • This is the part where you can get really creative

  • and put some personality into your pumpkins.

  • Make them as unique as you wish.

  • Simply toss 'em in a bowl

  • and you're ready for that potluck party.

  • Now here's another fun and simple way to add a festive flair

  • to your everyday snacks.

  • Flip your pudding containers upside-down

  • and use a permanent marker to draw eyes and a mouth

  • to create a ghostlike snack.

  • Use this same concept on other packages like string cheese.

  • Mix it up with various faces and expressions

  • to create a nice boo-quet of Halloween snacks.

  • Holy guacamole.

  • Is that a puking pumpkin?

  • Sick.

  • To create your own puking jack-o'-lantern,

  • draw out your own design, and then carve out the top

  • and gut the insides.

  • You can just carve out some triangular eyes

  • or get creative with these colorful eyes

  • than can be stacked into place

  • or inserted into circular holes.

  • The most important part is cutting out a mouth

  • and placing guacamole in the mouth

  • and around the front of your pumpkin.

  • Now finish it off by

  • surrounding it with some tortilla chips.

  • We also added some pumpkin seeds for teeth

  • to give it some extra personality.

  • What you're left with is a grotesque yet tasty platter

  • that'll be sure to garner plenty of attention.

  • Now this colorful and tasty snack

  • is not only perfect for Halloween,

  • but the entire fall season.

  • You'll need mini-pretzels, orange chocolate melts,

  • and some green m&ms.

  • Now heat the melting chocolate

  • according to the package directions.

  • You can also use white chocolate and mix red and yellow

  • food coloring together until you get

  • your desired tint of orange.

  • Dunk each pretzel in chocolate, then strain excess

  • chocolate with a fork.

  • Now place it on a sheet of wax paper.

  • You'll wanna quickly place a green m&m

  • at the top of the pretzel and let it sit

  • until the chocolate is set.

  • If you have milk chocolate, you can melt that too

  • and add candy eyes and create screaming pretzels.

  • You can quickly whip together a batch of these

  • and please any crowd.

  • For this one all you're gonna need are some carrots.

  • The thicker, the better.

  • Using a sharp knife, cut two parallel slits

  • lengthwise down the carrot.

  • The distance between the cuts

  • will determine the width of your pumpkin stem.

  • Now make perpendicular cuts from each side of your carrot

  • to the stem.

  • Remove a small triangular shape from both sides.

  • The depth of your cut will

  • determine the height of your stem.

  • For a more rounded pumpkin shape, carve

  • the angles at the top with a paring knife or a peeler.

  • Now for a healthy alternative to all that candy,

  • serve up the carrots as is or toss 'em in some soup.

  • As always, thanks for watching and tuning in

  • to The Household Snacker Spooktacular.

  • We'll see you next time.
