Scare Your Guests, Not Your Wallet: How to Throw a Budget Halloween Party

Bloody Mary Cocktails
A Bloody Mary is the perfect complement to gory Halloween treats. Cheat a Bloody Mary recipe by simply combining 3 parts chilled tomato juice or Bloody Mary mix with 1 part vodka. Garnish with radish eyeballs.



Gummy Worms in Pudding Dirt
A Halloween classic, serve chocolate pudding topped with gummy worms & crushed cookie dirt. To add a touch of sophistication, serve them in wine glasses or martini glasses. Use hardcover or leather bound books in small stacks to add levels to your serving area.


Witch Finger Cookies
Another Halloween classic, witch finger cookies are made from a simple shortbread cookie recipe. I added green food dye to the cookie dough to create green witch fingers. Brush the almond fingernails with red food dye for manicured fingers.



Meringue Cookie Bones
Meringue cookies are very inexpensive to make because the base ingredients are simply egg whites and sugar. When piped in a bone shape, these are prefect for serving at a Halloween party. These are also seen served on a bed of crushed cookie dirt.



Hard Boiled Egg Eyeballs

Hard boiled eggs are a great budget party hors d'oeuvre. You can pick up a dozen eggs for just a few dollars. Serve them on a simple platter in pairs to resemble sets of spooky eyes. I sprinkled candy corn to dress up the dish
