Dead Man’s meatloaf

Grab your favorite recipe for meatloaf and mold it into the shape of a body. Pour a tomato-based pasta sauce over the top, and bake it for about an hour on 350F.  I found the ghoulish mask at a Halloween store and then put a knife into the chest.

Hot dog fingers

All you need to make these creepy fingers is hot dogs, refrigerated biscuit dough, and sliced almonds. Assemble and then bake. Use a knife to score creases in the fingers before baking. Don’t forget to put out blood tomato sauce or ketchup for dipping your hot dog fingers.

Skeleton dip

This is a fantastic healthy alternative for your Halloween party. All you need is your favorite dip and lots of fresh vegetables for dipping.

That meatloaf is delightfully disgusting! We always have fondue on Halloween (Fondueween) and I could arrange the veggies like that skeleton guy. Neato

I love that crazy meat loaf! Reminds me we haven’t had meatloaf in a while… mmm comfort food. My mom once made a meat loaf sculpted to look like my dad’s face. It was kind of gross. I guess that’s true love?

The veggie skeleton came originally from Family Fun I think. I have the magazine from about 12 years ago. They used to have it on the website, too but I couldn’t find it this year.
