Halloween is just around the corner. If you're into the spirit of it, looking for enjoyable food that can double as great Halloween decorations can be a little bit overwhelming. Finding the right balance of cheap, easy to make and getting it to be decorative enough for the holiday feast table can be a little tricly. To help you out on your Halloween preparations, here are cheap and easy edible Halloween decors you can try.

1.) Blood fondue bar

What's the easiest way to serve something without the hassle of preparing it? Fondue! This recipe from Sugar and Spice is mainly made from white chocolate and red food coloring. If you want to surprise (or even freak out) your guests, you can prepare ghoulish treats for dipping in it as well.

2.) Witch's ice cream brew

Halloween is a time for unnaturally flavored foods. Red is mainly popular as it resembles the color of blood and makes foods and other fare decidedly more creepy. Another great color to liven up your Halloween feasting table is green, which is the color of this refreshing drink recipe from Gross Halloween Recipes. It's only made of three ingredients, mint choco chip ice cream, milk and green sprinkles and makes use of blender and a straw.

3.) Bloody vampire cupcakes

All manner of ghosts, ghouls and creatures supposedly come out on the last day of October. Help set the mood with these gruesome and creepy cupcakes from Gross Halloween Recipes. You can use store bought cupcakes if you're in a pinch, all you need will be vanilla frosting and food coloring. Design it in a way that there are two points on the frosting surface with the red food coloring gushing out resembling a vampire bite. If you have a bit of time, you can follow the recipe on the website. Your guests are in for a treat as they find the gooey cherry pie filling in the center.

4.) Bat bites

This cheese ball recipe comes from All You. All you need are goat cheese, pesto and cream cheese. Kids and adults alike will both love it because of the flavor and because these can be decorated to resemble like little bats with corn chips for wings.

5.) Tipsy tombstone sandwiches

Halloween foods can be a little messy and a bit unhealthy. However, with this sandwich recipe from Better Homes and Gardens, you can easily sneak in healthier ingredients especially if you're serving them to kids.
