... you place your Bat Wings on the table.
Obviously you don’t want to feed your family Bat Wings. However, you can make a pretty good fake Bat Wing by using chicken wings. This appetizer can be as tame, creepy speaking, as you like or you can ramp it up and make it spookier, too.
Note, these will be messy if you use the food coloring. If you leave it out, the wings won’t be as black…but neither will be your family’s mouths and fingers.
Ingredients Needed:
1/4 cup oyster sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup black bean sauce
1 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon black gel food coloring (optional)
20 whole chicken wings with the tips intact
Directions:
Start the sauce for the Bat Wings by combining all of the ingredients except the chicken wings in a medium bowl. Whisk these together until they are well-combined. Separate 1/3 of the sauce mixture and set it aside.
Put all of the chicken wings into a large (at least gallon size or larger) plastic zip top bag. Pour in the remaining soy ...

... my senses and imagination. Sometimes I just want to eat that I can eye-dentify, if you know what I mean.
The most versatile snack I’ve found that fits this bill is popcorn balls. You add all sorts of flavors and you can “dress” them up with gross creepy crawlies for older people or fun items appropriate for the younger children.
These Halloween Popcorn Balls fit perfectly with any crowd and here is how you can make them for your celebration too.
Ingredients Needed:
3 cups brown sugar
3 cups corn syrup
3 sticks butter (1 ½ cups)
3 teaspoon salt
3 cups popcorn kernels, popped
Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Add 1 cup and about 1 cup unpopped popcorn kernels. As popping begins, listen to the speed of the kernel pops. When the speed slows to about 2-3 seconds between pops, popcorn should be ready… This is ONLY an estimate! Do not allow popcorn to burn. Repeat 2 more times or until you have about 48 cups of popped corn.
Note: Pour popcorn into a large bowl. If you do not have a bowl large enough, you can thoroughly clean & dry your kitchen sink, lay a saucer over the hole and use it. Sift through popcorn to remove any unpopped kernels at the bottom of the bowl. Using the same pan you popped the corn in, add the brown sugar and corn syrup.Next add the butter and salt. Bring to a simmer; continue simmering for about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and slowly pour over popcorn. Using a large spoon, stir until all popcorn is well coated.
Once popcorn has cooled enough to handle, shape into balls with your hands, pressing tight to ensure they stay together. Decorate with candy corn, candy sprinkles, gummy worms, etc.
Note: Adding candies into the mix doesn’t work well as the waxy candy coating tends to make ...
