7 Dishes for a Halloween Potluck
Whether you’re responsible for bringing along a dessert or hosting the entire party, here are a few ideas – with a Halloween twist – to fill the table:
1. Grasshopper Parfaits
Who can resist a good parfait? This recipe is great for creating a graveyard. Grab gummy worms and crushed cookies to create the "mud." If you’re feeling ambitious, add an extra Halloween flair by placing chocolate-covered Oreo pops into the parfait, decorated with zombie faces or spooky skeletons.
2. Savory Pear Gruyère Tart
Take a bite into this sweet and savory tart. Pears start to come into season just in time to create delicious fall desserts. Add a Halloween twist to this treat by cutting each pear slice into a tombstone, or bake your whole tart in the shape of a pumpkin.
3. Deviled Eggs with Smoked Salmon
Unleash your eerie side. Add a bone-chilling look to your deviled eggs by coloring the filling a slimy green, or sprinkling each deviled egg with spooky red paprika. The possibilities are endless.
4. Take and Bake Pizza
Don’t forget the kids! Keep it simple with a Costco take and bake pizza. While warming up the oven, use Halloween cookie cutters to cut the pepperoni slices into ghoulish shapes.
5. Caramel Corn
Make your potluck pop with this caramel corn recipe. Before you coat the popcorn, use food coloring to dye the syrup different Halloween colors – from vibrant orange to shadowy black.
6. Garlicky Gold Potatoes with Cheese Sauce
Nothing says “filling” quite like potatoes. This recipe will complement any autumn color palette with its warm, golden hue. If you have a Halloween cake pan on hand, serve these potatoes up in the shape of a frightful pumpkin, skull or ghost.
7. Last-minute finds
In a rush? Drop by the warehouse to grab your favorite bakery treat, a bottle or two of different Kirkland Signature™ fall wines, a pizza, and yes, even a big bag of candy. Please drink responsibly.
