What ever happened to candy corn and mini M&M packs? Halloween parties are getting weird, and by weird I mean gross. If you happen to be planning a spooky bash of your own, make sure to leave these 10 gross Halloween snacks off of the menu.
1. Bloody Hot Dog Fingers
As much as I love a classic hot dog, one made to look like someone’s severed finger just doesn’t cut it for me.
2. Secondhand Swabs
Call me crazy, but ear wax is not exactly what I want to be thinking about when I bite into a marshmallow dipped in caramel. Ew.
3. Dumpling Brains
From here on out, every time I order dumplings from my favorite Chinese restaurant, I’m going to think of eating a brain. Thank you, Halloween.
4. The Puking Pumpkin
It looks like this jack-o-lantern had a little bit too much to drink. No matter how delicious guac is, I don’t think I’ll get over the fact that a pumpkin is vomiting it out. This is some guac I’ll never be paying extra for.
5. Monster Hand Meatloaf
A meat hand? Yeah, I’ll take a hard pass. I don’t know about you, but I can confidently say I’ve never looked at a bloody piece of meat, formed into a hand and thought, “yum.”
6. Crawly Roach Dates
Dates are usually a healthy treat, but to look at them as roaches makes me cry a little inside. Mmm, gotta love the crunch of insect brains.
7. Kitty Litter Cake
The smell of kitty litter is gag-worthy, but what’s even more gag-worthy is the idea of eating a cake modeled after it. Keep yourself (and your cats) away from this “dessert.”
8. Jell-O Worms
As if Jell-O wasn’t slimy enough to begin with, putting it in worm form makes me cringe. Slimy Jell-O, slimy worms—too much slime for my liking.
9. Bloody Punch
Not sure what freaks me out more, the thought of drinking blood-inspired punch or the ice cube hand low-key floating in the bowl. Either way, if you wanna keep your friends, steer clear of this punch.
10. Bloody Hand-Burger
This entrée gives the term “medium rare” a whole new meaning. I’m going to have to say I prefer my hamburgers in patty form.
Just because Halloween is scary doesn’t mean the food has to be too. So take my advice, veer away from these 10 major eyesore snacks. There are plenty of other creepy treats for your guests to snack on that won’t have their stomaches turning the whole night.
