Halloween Recipe Inspiration

With October 31^st creeping up faster than a werewolf in the woods, we thought you might enjoy a few eerie-sistible Halloween recipes for your next party or family dinner. While Halloween and candy go hand-in-hand, it’s important to make sure your loved ones also fill up on something with a little more substance, like these bewitching new creations.

• Bones & Bites Charcuterie Board: Bring your next Halloween party (back) to life by dressing up a mini skeleton decoration with a spine-tingling selection of salami and cheese. Don’t forget to add the Napa Valley Bistro Pitted Kalamata Olives, blackberries, and deep purple grapes for fun Halloween colors!

• Mummy Dearest Baked Brie: Have guests wrapped around your finger by decorating this warm and gooey party staple like a Halloween mummy. Simply top a wheel of brie with Bell Pepper Sweet Relish, then cover with puff pastry laid out like wraps on a mummy. When it’s fully baked, top with Super Colossal Spanish Queen Olives eyes and serve with crackers.

• Squid Ink Spaghetti: Fill up little monsters for their epic night of trick-or-treating with a dish that’s as dark and mysterious as Halloween itself. Say goodbye to plain old spaghetti and wake the dead with spooktacular squid ink spaghetti. Once your noodles are cooked to perfection, top them with our Family Recipes Roasted Garlic Sauce to keep the vampires at bay. Follow up by cutting small mozzarella balls in half, then placing a cut Super Colossal Spanish Queen Olive on top for a pair of spooky, edible eyes.

• Ghost Pizza: Unleash your inner monster with this boo-tiful twist on a classic favorite. Just roll out your pizza dough and top with our chillingly delicious Pizza Sauce. Use a ghost shaped cookie cutter on sliced white cheddar cheese to create cheese ghosts. Once baked, add Non-Pareil Caper to give them a pair of mischievous (and delightfully tasty) eyes. Now watch as guests or family members make this scary good creation disappear in seconds!

• Devilish Deviled Eggs: Cast a spell on party guests by transforming ordinary deviled eggs into a spooky and scrumptious treat everyone will love. Simply cut Pitted Greek Kalamata Olives into spider shapes to crawl over your deviled eggs—or make your own demon eyes using our devilishly good Spanish Manzanilla Olives!

• Witch Finger Breadsticks: Stir up a cauldron of culinary magic by portioning out store-bought pizza dough into little fingers, then adding a Pitted Greek Kalamata Olive fingernail and brushing with our Basil Pesto for color. Bake and serve with our Family Recipes Spicy Marinara for dipping and let your inner witch or warlock shine!

• Frankenstein Avocado Toast: Fuel up your trick-or-treaters with this monstrously fun breakfast creation. It’s easy to elevate standard avocado toast by topping it with Roasted Red Pepper Strips, Sliced Greek Kalamata Olives and Sliced Tamed™ Jalapeño Peppers to create deliciously festive faces that’ll bring their next breakfast to life!
