Antipasti Eyeballs

A spooky take on a classic combo – these savoury “eyeballs” are equal parts creepy and delicious.

Jack-O’-Lantern Peppers

Mini sweet peppers get a Halloween makeover with creepy carved faces and a creamy filling.
How to make:
Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds. Carefully cut spooky faces into each pepper using a small sharp knife. Fill with a mix of low-fat cream cheese, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Stand them upright on the board, it helps to lean them against something else to stop them falling over.

Spider Dip Topper

Turn your favourite dip into a Halloween centrepiece with a crunchy carrot and pepper spider.
How to make:
Spoon your chosen dip (hummus, salsa, guacamole or anything UPF-free) into a bowl. Shape a spider on top the bottom of a bell pepper, you can either use two round sections to make a body or if you are lucky you might come across a pepper that has the perfect shaped bottom as it is! Then use shreds of carrot as the legs.
