Set sail for spooky season with these Haunted Cucumber Boats! Fresh, crunchy cucumbers get a Halloween makeover when you fill them with hummus and decorate them with eerie designs. It’s creepy, creative, and just healthy enough to balance out all the candy corn you’ve been sneaking. Perfect for Halloween parties, after-school snacks, or veggie platters that need a little “boo!” factor.
Ingredients (makes 4 boats): • 2 cucumbers • 1 tub roasted garlic hummus (or your favorite flavor) • 1 large package black or red edible drawing gel
Instructions: 1. Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise. 2. Scoop out the centers to create “boats.” 3. Fill each channel with hummus. 4. Use the drawing gel to add spooky details—bats, skeletons, creepy eyes, or even spider webs. 5. Chill until ready to serve for a refreshing, ghostly bite!
🎃 Halloween Fact: Cucumbers were once used in ancient beauty rituals to “ward off evil spirits of aging.” (So really, these boats are hauntingly healthy and anti-wrinkle approved!)
👻 Spooky Serving Idea: Place your cucumber boats on a black platter with red bell pepper “flames” around them. For extra fun, label them “The Ghost Ship Snacktanic.”
