12 wonderful and frighteningly fun ideas for serving food on Halloween

Celebrating Halloween always means paying particular attention to the atmosphere: spooky decorations that greet guests outside the home, for example. It is the details that determine the feeling of mystery and horror that permeates everywhere on this special night, where it seems that anything could be possible.

Even the way food is presented can contribute to spooky atmosphere: appetizers, main courses, desserts and even fruit can be cut and combined to look scary or monstrous - but without being actually disgusting. Here are some nice ideas to draw inspiration from:

Appetizers are the food course that usually allows you to have the most fun with various compositions, and Halloween is no exception. Here is how mozzarella, ham and olives can become eyeballs.

And if you are going to prepare stuffed eggs, again you could use olives to make them look like eyes.

A slightly more demur, but effective idea: use ghost-shaped molds to shape homemade nachos, all for dipping into your favorite sauce.

With puff pastry, you can have fun transforming anything into a spooky mummy: frankfurters, courgettes, peppers ... almost anything!

And even pasta becomes monstrousl with a bit of effort: spaghetti - or other long, thin pasta - can be made into nests, each of which is topped by the iconic olive eyeball. You can put spooky eyes everywhere.

Another use of olives is to model spiders for mini-pizzas!

For some recipes, you can keep the skin on potatoes, make some strategic cuts, and they become really scary!

These gingerbread men will never make it to Christmas parties.

Would you like some witch's fingers?

Combine many simple, spooky snacks on a tray: the result will be sensational.

And if after a good meal, there are some who eat fruit, this presentation will wow everyone.
