From a color-changing Poison Apple Punch to mummified shepherd’s pies and blackberry spiders, these eight studio-tested recipes get oohs and aahs for their witty looks, and even more for their flavor.
Bacon, garlic, shallot, and cheddar turn pumpkin into a bewitching savory dip, and a brie skull with a salami wig and a crown of marigolds turns the cheese board around it into the life of the party.
A thick coat of glossy black sesame seeds makes these bat-shaped hand pies unlike any other Halloween appetizer, and a filling of sweet potato, black beans, harissa, and hot honey will have you coming back for more. Which is more than can be said for actual bats.
