For a snack that will get as many “EWWWs” as “MMMs”, whip up a tray of bloody bandages. All it takes are some cinnamon grahams, vanilla icing and red gel food coloring or decorator’s gel. For even more gross-out snack ideas, see Katherine Marie’s Gross-ology Menu. Rat droppings, ear wax (served on cotton swabs) or toe jam, anyone?

These slender carrot witch fingers will have your kids clamoring to eat their veggies. Simply peel carrot sticks and use cream cheese “glue” to stick on slivered almond fingernails. Amy from Teach Mama says she picked out the long and skinny twisted carrots to get the full creepy finger effect.
