Spooky Halloween Dinner Ideas

Spooky Halloween Dinner Ideas

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. The opinions and text are all mine. #HalloweenWithTyson #CollectiveBias

When I was a little girl, my mom always took the time to celebrate everything. We celebrated good grades, silly holidays, days off of school, and each holiday. But, some of my favorite memories are our Halloween Dinners. My mom is the reason we celebrate everyday. And, to this day, Halloween is still one of my favorite holidays! My boys still love their spooky Halloween dinners throughout the month of October. Our whole family looks forward to our fun Halloween foods!

Dinner Ideas

I’m not going to lie, we are an on the go family. We have two kids that play hockey, one that student coaches and referees. There are four busy boys and two busy parents in our home. We also run two very busy businesses. But, I know I want my family to eat well. I am confident giving my family Tyson® products. Tyson products provide food made the way I want my family to eat. And, they are dedicated to quality. I have a few kids that prefer the Tyson Chicken Nuggets Chicken Nuggets. They are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, just like the boys like. And they are made with 100% all-natural*, minimally processed ingredients, just like I like. The other boys prefer the Tyson Chicken Strips Chicken Strips. Truthfully, so do I. Plus, they are super crispy and delicious. Both options are great for Spooky Halloween Dinners or even Halloween Parties! I buy Tyson products at my local Publix Store every week!

Halloween Food Ideas

When I think of Halloween, I think of spiders, mummies, witches, and pumpkins. Typically, I make one spooky meal a week, and everyone loves it! To celebrate the first day of October, I made fun Spider Tyson Chicken Nuggets and Mummy Tyson Chicken Strips. The meal couldn’t have been easier to make, and everyone devoured their dinner like hungry vampires!

Make Chicken Nugget Spiders

This meal took a little longer to prepare than the Tyson Chicken Strips, but they were SO cool! While the Tyson Chicken Nuggets and Tyson Chicken Strips are cooking, you can prep the rest of the meal. Start with the spider web plate. I used a black plate with ranch dip. Use a sauce squeeze bottle to draw a spider web on the plate with dip. (You could use a white plate and a dark dipping sauce too)

Once the plates have spider webs on them, cut carrots into thin strips for legs. Place eight spider leg carrots together on the plate, and cover with a cooked Tyson Chicken Nugget. Then, add ketchup eyes on each nugget. I added spider egg grapes to each plate, and a jack o lantern orange too.

Make Chicken Strip Mummies

Truly, this could not be easier to make! My kids and husband like cheese with their chicken wraps or sandwiches, so I thought I would cut strips of white cheese and layer it on the Tyson Chicken Strips. I crisscrossed the cheese over each Tyson Chicken Strips until they resembled a wrapped mummy. Then, I cooked them according to package instructions. Once the Tyson Chicken Strips were cooked, I added ketchup dot eyes and placed them on black plates.
