Taking your Halloween cookie cutters and cutting out shapes out of flour tortillas or corn tortillas and placing the lightly salted flour or corn tortillas on a sprayed baking sheet (and a preheated oven at 325 degrees) bake in the oven, in about three minutes, Walla, you have Halloween chips to serve with dip.

Carving out an orange bell pepper to look like a jack o’lantern and adding carrot sticks or filling the orange bell pepper with ranch dip is a fun and appetizing appetizer that kids can assist in the kitchen with.

Use your Halloween cookie cutter to cut out your child’s favorite witch, ghost, or pumpkin shape on white or wheat bread. Then spread their favorite peanut butter and jelly or egg salad sandwich.
