This disgusting brain cake will sure to be a hit with all your Halloween party trick or treaters! Use a brain cake mold with your favorite cake mix. Then, instead of icing, baste on strawberry or cherry glaze to make a gooey, bloody brain.
(If you want to be super, duper gross, fill the brain cake recipe with glaze or cherry filling inside so that when you cut into the cake made of brains the blood oozes out for one of those super creepy Halloween food ideas. You’re welcome.)

Zombie Halloween parties are a favorite theme, so be sure you include some zombie things at your party.
This zombie jello brain has worms crawling out. Just add green Jell-O and gummy worms (add more green food coloring if it’s not gross enough!).
Kids will LOVE this fake Halloween food oozing brain and another one of our best Halloween recipes tips!

3. Brain Pops
Let’s just stick with the brain Halloween party theme for a minute, shall we?
To go along with your cake brains and Jello brains, how about some mini brain pops?
You can make your own chocolate brain suckers (any color you want!).
If you really want to go all out on a brain theme, add these brain ice cubes, too!
(Seriously, add zombie food for teenage Halloween party food ideas.)
4. Worms in Buns
My kid looooooved this easy recipe!
We made it a Halloween snack just by calling it worms in a bun. (You could also call it guts in skin, if you want to make totally disgusting food names.)
It’s actually spaghetti in a hot dog bun and makes a perfect Halloween party food because it’s easy to pick up and eat. Slice the buns in half or even quarters to make them a more bite-sized appetizer for parties.
GET THE FULL RECIPE HERE
If you’re looking for food that looks like intestines, you can also call them “intestines in a skin bun” or something equally as disturbing.
5. Edible Hearts Candy
Make mini edible heart chocolates (use this red chocolate!) for your party food.
(Just like human hearts, not the Valentine’s hearts!)
To really gross out your kids, plop them in some red jello and make them spoon out the heart chocolates along with the “blood” to up the creepy food factor.
6. Witch Fingers
Looking for Halloween food fingers recipes or spooky snacks that aren’t too scary?
These “witches fingers” are really just apple fries in oven or air fryer and make the perfect treats for Halloween.
We served these snacks with caramel dipping sauce (or peanut butter), which you can call some awful Halloween food names like witch snot or witch’s earwax. (MMMMmmm. Halloween gross treats.)
You can even sprinkle them with a little sugar and pumpkin pie spice.

7. Skeleton Hands
Make skeleton hand chocolates (get the mold here) that can be placed in a “bowl of bones” or even make them “climbing out” of jello, cakes, and more.
If you’re looking for a full edible skeleton, use this.
Both of these are perfect for scary sweet treats!
8. Skull Candy
I love these skull candy molds because they’re different from traditional skull molds (and kinda gross looking).
Plus, you can make your gross skull in whatever colors you want and drip them with cherry glaze!
And, you can even call them shrunken heads snacks.
(I think they would be super cool as black candy skeletons using this!)
9. Zombie Ice Pops
These super cute zombie ice pops are perfect for a Halloween treat or zombie party food to cool the kids down.
Freeze them with juice or smoothies for a refreshing treat and easy zombie food ideas!
Worried about them melting? Stick them head first in a bowl of creepy zombie ice cubes and kids can pull them out by the popsicle handle.
(And, let’s be honest, summer is a good time for zombie popsicles, too!)
Not one of the scary food ideas, but zombies are disgusting and great if you’ll have guests of different ages at your party for Halloween.
