Martha Stewart always has cool ideas...

I may do a few of these for my party...

Not sure where I saw it, maybe a Parent magazine... witch finger cheese sticks. So easy to make.

Take string cheese sticks, cut each in half to make two fingers. Slice out thin slivers to make two sets of knuckles, two slivers each knuckle. Slice the rounded end a little flat for a nail bed. Cut green bell peppers in crooked fingernail shapes. Using a dab of cream cheese, stick on the nails. So creepy looking yet so simple and everyone loves cheese!

Baby carrots and dip. Set up the dip bowl with a creepy hand. Arrange five baby carrots for fingers. Carve out a nail bed and stick on sliced almonds with cream cheese!

Mummy English muffin or mini bagel pizzas. Add sauce. Buy deli slized mozzarella cheese then slice into strips. Arrange on muffin or bagel leaving space for eyes. Add sliced black olives for eyes and toast them up!

And my favorite that I hope to do... Jack-o-Lantern fruit cups! Buy a bundle of oranges at Costco. Slice off the tops, scoop out the orange, cute cute faces then fill with fruit! Poke a green fork through the lid for an eating stem! They suggested slicing the orange to add back but someone in the comments said that makes too much juice so grapes, strawberries, honeydew and canteloupe worked good. I'll take the orange to my mom's juicer and make some fresh OJ!

And I just found out where I got all of these ideas! Disney Family Fun!

Enjoy!

Oh... forgot another one of my favorites that I've actually made before! Monster Toes!

Basically pigs in a blanket. You make the dough using Bisquick so you can color it green. Roll and slice into like 2"x3" rectangles. Enough to fully wrap a cocktail weiner (I always like the mini keilbasa) with the seam on the bottom. Use whole pitted black olives, medium to large should be good, they shrink a little. Slice them in half lengthwise to make a toe nail. Press into the dough on one end. They shrivel when the back and look so awesome! Serve them with a bowl of toe cheese or spicy mustard!
