How to serve Halloween Monster Snacks

Serve these snacks on a big platter. You can arrange the strawberries, pretzel ghosts, and popcorn mix in different sections. For an extra spooky touch, you can place some Halloween decorations around the platter or use themed plates for serving.

How to store Halloween Monster Snacks

Keep any leftover snacks in an airtight container. Place them in the refrigerator if you want the chocolate to stay firm. They will last for about 2 to 3 days but are best enjoyed fresh.

Tips to make Halloween Monster Snacks

  • Use white chocolate for a different look and sweet flavor.
  • Try using different toppings for the strawberries like nuts or sprinkles to add more variety.

Variation

You can switch up the ingredients. Instead of strawberries, try using banana slices or marshmallows. Use caramel instead of chocolate for a rich, sweet flavor.

FAQs

2. What if I don’t have chocolate?
You can use melted candy melts or even yogurt-covered chocolate as a substitute.

3. Can I use other types of candy?
Absolutely! Feel free to use any candy you like, such as gummy worms or mini chocolate bars, to make the snacks even more festive.

Hey, I’m DeShawn Ellis—friends call me D. I’m 42 years old, born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, and now I’m holding it down in Atlanta, Georgia, where I run a soul food kitchen that’s as much about storytelling as it is about the food. Cooking isn’t just what I do it’s who I am. It’s how I honor where I come from, and how I speak love into the world.

My earliest memories are in my grandma’s kitchen barefoot on a step stool, stirring roux while she told me stories about her own mama, who used to cook for church fish fries back in the ’50s. That kitchen was my school. That woman was my first chef. She never measured a thing, but everything came out perfect. She taught me that food could heal, could gather people, could celebrate and comfort at the same time.

I didn’t come up through culinary school I came up through Sunday dinners, community cookouts, and elbow grease. I worked every back-of-house job you can think of, from janitor to pitmaster. Over time, I built my own rhythm in the kitchen deeply rooted in Southern Black tradition but open to everything. My oxtails have a splash of Caribbean heat. My collards might get kissed with smoked paprika and a dash of coconut vinegar. And yeah, I’ll put Cajun spice on anything that holds still long enough.

What drives me most is making food that feels like a hug from home. I want folks to taste a dish and remember their auntie's kitchen, or a summer evening on the porch, or that one bite that made them feel seen. But I also want to evolve because our food, our culture, is not stuck in the past. It’s growing, remixing, finding new voices. I’m proud to be one of them.

I cook for people who love food with a story behind it. You don’t need fancy tools or a French accent to make magic you just need heart, hustle, and a little bit of fire. If you’ve ever cooked with love, failed with style, or fed someone just to see them smile, then we’re already family.

Welcome to my kitchen. Let’s build something beautiful one bite at a time.
