Snack Inspiration

 

Our Frozen Food Aisles feature plenty of frozen pizza options for a quick slice night. And with the extra time you save, you can add your own creepy-crawly toppings. To make olive spiders, halve pitted olives. Use one half as the body, placing it cut-side down on pizza. Slice the other half lengthwise into eight pieces for legs. Or use a whole pepperoni as the body and slice another into fine strips for legs. Bonus points for using olive pieces as eyes!

Ghostly Kebabs

Add some scare factor (in an adorable way) with marshmallow ghosts. Simply use a foodsafe black marker to draw a ghastly face on regular marshmallows. Then thread them onto skewers between yummy fruits like strawberries, melon and kiwi.
