Our Favorite Halloween Morning Tradition!
If you know anything about me, you know I’m OBSESSED with Halloween. I start decorating in August, and by the time October rolls around, my entire house is completely decked out. It’s forever my favorite holiday, and I truly can’t get enough of it!
One tradition we’ve started as a family is making a big Halloween breakfast. I’ve been putting together this festive spread for years, and it’s always so much fun for the kids. And while it looks like a lot, it’s actually incredibly easy to pull together. Everything comes together in minutes with a few simple shortcuts! I figured it was finally time to share everything I make so you can start the tradition too.

Instructions
- Frankenstein Kiwi: Slice off one end of the kiwi so it can sit flat. Starting at the cut end, use a vegetable peeler to remove part of the fuzzy skin. Towards the top third, peel away the skin in jagged pieces to look like Frankenstein's messy hair. Push the pretzel stick through the kiwi to resemble neck bolts. Insert two chocolate chips for eyes. Use the black food gel to draw the mouth.
- Apple Monster Mouth: Core and slice the apple. Soak apple slices in salted water for 5 minutes to prevent browning. Rinse with cold water and pat dry. Spread peanut butter on one side of two apple slices, then press them together. If needed, use toothpicks to help them stick. Optionally, insert a strawberry slice for the tongue. Embed sunflower seeds or pepitas in the peanut butter to resemble teeth. Attach candy eyeballs with peanut butter.
- Monter Donuts: Spread a small amount of peanut butter on the back of candy eyeballs. Attach the eyes onto powdered donuts.
- Cauldrons: Fill plastic cauldrons with grapes for a simple, spooky treat.
- Halloween Waffles or Pancakes: Prepare waffle batter recipe, or use packaged batter. Cook the batter in Halloween-themed waffle makers. Serve warm with your favorite syrup and berries/toppings!
- Banana Ghosts: Peel bananas and cut them in half. Press mini chocolate chips gently into the banana flesh to create eyes.
- Mini Pumpkins: Take peeled clementine oranges and place a small piece of celery at the top to serve as the pumpkin's stalk.

Love the idea of a breakfast board. I assume you can make the waffles the day before and heat them that morning. Can’t wait to try it!
I usually make them fresh but you could absolutely make them ahead and toast or warm them that morning!
