Who says spooky can’t be sweet? These Skeleton Crackers are a little bit silly, a little bit spooky, and a whole lot of fun. With buttery crackers, a swipe of strawberry cream cheese, and edible gel for doodling skeletons, this snack lets kids play with their food—and that’s exactly what makes it so boo-tiful. It’s the perfect edible craft for a Halloween party or cozy movie night at home!
Ingredients (makes 10): • 1 package butter crackers (like Ritz) • 1 cup light strawberry cream cheese • 1 container white edible drawing gel
Instructions: 1. Lay out the crackers on a tray. 2. Spread each one with strawberry cream cheese. 3. Use white drawing gel to draw mini skeletons—or stick figures with goofy faces! 4. Let set for a few minutes so the gel firms up slightly before serving.
🎃 Halloween Fact: Skeleton decorations became popular in the early 1900s, inspired by Mexico’s Día de los Muertos celebrations—where skeletons are symbols of joy, remembrance, and life, not just spooky decor!
👻 Spooky Serving Idea: Arrange your skeleton crackers on a dark platter and sprinkle crushed chocolate cookies or cocoa powder around them to look like dirt. Add a few candy bones or candy eyes to make it look like a playful graveyard snack scene.
