Halloween stuffed peppers

Cut the tops off bell peppers, carve little faces into them (as if they're pumpkins) and stuff them with a delicious filling. This easy pepper recipe from BBC Good Food is ideal for an evening meal. You'll use up pine nuts, onion, garlic, aubergine, a lemon and grains, too. Sub the mixed grains for whatever's in the cupboard and use dried basil instead of fresh if needed. 

Silly apple bites

These apple bites from Fork and Beans are adorable (sorry, we mean scary) and simple to make too. Just slice apples into mouth shapes, attach your own homemade googly eyes, add sunflower teeth and finish off with strawberry or tomato tongues. 

Frankenstein kiwis

The hair of a kiwi is perfect as Frankenstein's hair. Add pretzel sticks, or any edible crunchy sticks you have, plus raisins or chocolate chips for the eyes. Take a look at this recipe by Two Healthy Kitchens for inspiration. 

Graveyard taco dip

For a filling, savoury Halloween party dish, make this Mexican-inspired graveyard taco dip from The Chickabug Blog. You'll create hidden layers of black beans, sour cream, avocadoes, salsa and spring onions. Then add in tortillas as your little gravestones. 

Halloween ghoulish punch

If you want to have your party guests screaming with shock as they discover eyeballs bobbing in the punch, mix up this recipe from BBC Good Food. Use fruit and veg from your box for extra flavours. Sub the raisins for dark chocolate chips if needed, and swap the purple fruit juice for another drink flavour.  

Strawberry ghosts

Go really spooky by bringing some ghosts to the table. With this 4-ingredient recipe from Everyday Delicious, you can coat strawberries with white chocolate and draw faces on them using dark chocolate. Try the chocolate colours in reverse too, to make strawberry monsters.
