Cookies

No great party is complete without some cookies to munch on. Cookies are simple to cook and can be decorated in many different ways.

Dressing up your cheese ball as a pumpkin is always a traditional option.

Dip

Dip is an essential food for any Halloween party. You can serve it with chips, crackers, veggies, or all the above. How you prep your dip can be a big grand slam for your party guests.
