Party food is always an essential at any kids' party. With a Halloween party it's also important that at least some of the party food is spooky. This helps to create the Halloween mood.

Halloween Cookies to Make

Mummy and Spider Halloween Cookies

Make Fun Halloween Cookies

The Spider Cookies are made from peanut butter dough. But if your child is allergic to peanuts, or you want to be peanut-free at the party, you can swap the peanut dough for something else.

Decorating cookies is also a fun Halloween activity for school age kids. Or younger kids if you don't mind the cookies being a little less than perfect. They'll still taste great.
