Snake
If you are planning a “beer and hot dogs” style party, then a hod dog in the shape of a snake will fit perfectly into the concept. Of course, finding a curved bun is problematic, so the easiest way is to bake it yourself (you can buy the dough or make it yourself). As usual, the filling is to your liking; you can decorate the top with multi-colored bell peppers, cut into strips. We make eyes from green olives, add a drop of ketchup inside the olives, and secure with toothpicks. At the front we make a mouth for the snake and stick a long forked tongue made of bell pepper. By the way, you can make preparations for such sandwiches in advance, and before the party, simply heat them in the oven and then immediately decorate.

Easy Halloween Broom Snack:
- Salty sticks (can be bought at almost any kiosk);
- Hard cheese or sandwich cheese (square);
- Green onions
If we take regular hard cheese (you need a plastic one that won’t crumble), then first you need to cut it into thin squares, and then make cuts on one side without cutting all the way through. Wrap it around a stick and tie it with green onions!
By the way, you can make a simplified version - break dark salty sticks into small pieces and tie them with green onions to lighter-colored sticks. Ready
