Halloween parties are so much fun! We host a pre-trick or treating party every year to get the kids together for dinner before heading out to get some candy. We’ve been doing it every year and I love the tradition. This year, I’m also part of a virtual Halloween party: A Ghost and Ghouls Gathering and I am sharing some kid friendly Halloween party food!
As a working mom, Halloween can be pretty tricky because I have to get home early, feed a crowd and get everyone dressed in time for trick or treating. I’ve always been blessed to be able to get off of work early but I also learned a few tricks along the way to make things easier. One of of my favorite foods to serve to kids for a Halloween party is pumpkin quesadillas. All you need are three ingredients: tortillas, shredded cheese and scissors or a knife.
Simply cut one tortilla into the face of a jack-o-lantern using the knife or scissors.
Then, cover the other tortilla with shredded cheese.
Top with the jack-o-latern face and heat. I put several onto baking sheets and bake in the oven so they get done super fast.
Another item that is always a hit is the decorate a sandwich bar. I put out things like turkey, cheese and bread along with toppings that the kids can use to decorate the outside to look like faces. For this one, I used slices of celery for the eyes, cheese for the nose and a carrot stick for the mouth.

Sooooon cute! My granddaughters will love both of these! ox
Thanks! Our kids have a great time with them too. Sometimes I will even do the face on the sandwich when I pack their lunches when it gets close to Halloween.
Brilliant! Love the cut out pumpkin face!
Thanks! The kids always love the little jack-o-lantern quesadillas.
OMG! I love the tortilla faces!!!! How do I never think of these things on my own?! Funny enough, I am actually making my kids Quesadillas for supper tonight so I am totally going to cut out faces in the tortillas for them now!
Isn’t it funny the things that you see and think “why didn’t I think of that?”…that happens to be all the time. Hope the kids like the face on their quesadilla.
Can’t wait to make these for Grandson. He’s 6, so he’s too “big” for a lotta stuff now (ha!) but he’ll love these. Great partying with you today!
Oh, I hear you on 6 year olds being too “big” for kid stuff. My 6 year old loves these though. Happy to be virtually partying with you!
That’s such a great idea! I love the pumpkin quesadillas and Halloween is the perfect excuse to throw a party for the kids!
