Here are some free, printable Halloween food labels to help your guests identify your devilish dishes. Labeling your food improves your party guests’ experience by providing transparency around nutritional information. If done right, they can also enhance the spooky spirit of your Halloween party. As you can see from this picture, the labels can actually become part of the fun themselves!
Unlike bottle labels for wine and soda, which should be purchased as stickers because they need to stick to bottles and contend with condensation all night, food labels can simply be printed at home and folded as tent cards. This makes them easier to customize and saves you a few dollars as well. In the spirit of helping you plan the perfect Halloween party, I thought I’d share the template I created for my Halloween food label tent cards. Feel free to use this template as you see fit, free of charge. Just be sure to let people know where you found it, if they ask!
While there are some printable templates available on the internet, I always prefer to buy professionally-made stickers
Need easy Halloween drink recipes? A nice cup of eyeball punch is perfect for kids and adults alike. A constant guest favourite, it looks like a giant bowl of eyeball-infested blood and is sure to be a hit at your next Halloween party.
In addition to being a natural favourite among children, it’s a great alcohol-free alternative for adults who don’t drink or are abstaining from alcohol because they’re acting as designated driver for the evening. After all, everyone should have a good time!
Let’s get started…
Here’s the official recipe for Carol’s cookies from The Walking Dead. If you’re a fan of the hit AMC zombie drama, you’ve likely wondered — like me — what Carol’s chocolate-applesauce cookies taste like. In my case, it had less to do with a genuine gastronomic curiosity and more to do with the fact that these were the cookies she offered them to a young boy after she threatened to feed him to walkers!
Regardless, they’re a tasty treat and oh-so-perfect for Halloween parties – especially zombie-themed ones! This recipe is for a dozen cookies, so if you want “lots and lots of cookies,” (see what I did there?) you might want to make more than one batch.
