Halloween Party Food for Adults
Whether you're a child or an adult Halloween can be such a fun time of the year. As adults you can really get into the spirit of things and often enjoy halloween as much if not even more than the kids.
As an adult I still love Halloween. I enjoy taking my daughter trick or treating, helping her choose her Halloween costume and we always love to bake halloween treats and halloween party food.
Baking Halloween cupcakes is a fun tradition and even when my daughter is grown it's something I think I will do each year.
🥚Ingredients for Your Ghost Cupcakes

For the complete list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
🌈 Substitutions and Variations
- Cake mix alternative: Use a vanilla or red velvet cake mix instead of chocolate for a different flavor and color contrast.
- Slime filling: Replace lime Jell-O with green-colored pudding or gelatin for a different texture and taste.
- Decorative eyes: Use mini chocolate chips or edible candy eyes instead of small candy eyes for a spooky effect.
🔪How to Make Slime Cupcakes
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 12 count muffin tin with the black cupcake liners. Combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and water.
Fill each muffin well about ⅔ full. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the cupcakes around 18 minutes, if it comes out clean the cupcakes are done.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Place the mold in the fridge for 2-3 hours or until set.
Once the Jell-O has set, remove from the fridge.
Now to Frost the Halloween Cupcakes.
Use a toothpick to apply a small amount of frosting on the back of the small candy eyes.
Give each Blobby/Slimer (2) eyes and place on top of the frosted cupcakes.
Repeat with each halloween cupcake.

👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Use a silicone mold for the slime. This helps create a consistent, gooey shape that sits perfectly atop each cupcake.
- Chill the slime before assembly. Refrigerating the slime ensures it holds its shape and adds a cool contrast to the cupcake.
- Add candy eyes for a spooky touch. Placing candy eyes on the slime gives your cupcakes a playful, eerie character.
💖 Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite treats to serve with Halloween cupcakes for adults:
- Char-boo-terie board: A spooky spin on charcuterie with cheeses, meats, and eerie extras.
- Blackberry sangria: Dark, fruity, and just creepy enough to sip in style.
- Pumpkin deviled eggs: Savory little bites with a festive twist.
