Whether you're hosting a haunted house party or just want to enjoy some frightful treats on a budget, these cheap Halloween snacks are sure to make your taste buds scream with delight.

Creepy Crudité Coffins

Spiderweb Pizza Bites
Create spooky spiderweb pizza bites using English muffins, pizza sauce, cheese, and olives. Spread pizza sauce on halved English muffins, arrange cheese slices to form a web, and use sliced olives for the creepy-crawly spiders. Pop them in the oven for a budget-friendly snack that's perfect for sharing.

 

Candy Corn Parfaits
Layer yogurt, orange slices, and a dollop of whipped cream to create candy corn parfaits. It's a simple and affordable way to enjoy a sweet treat with a Halloween twist.

 

Mummy Hot Dogs
Wrap inexpensive hot dogs in strips of crescent roll dough to create mummy hot dogs. Leave a gap for the mummy's "eyes," and bake until golden brown. Add mustard or ketchup dots for the eyes, and watch them disappear faster than ghosts in the night.
