16 Absolutely Gag-Inducing Halloween Food Creations

None of these are going to be cute lil’ pumpkin-shaped cookies or “spoOoOoOoky” cupcakes with chocolate bat wings. Presented here are only the most absolutely gruesome Halloween dishes that even a zombie might need to cover its eyes sockets to swallow.

Kids are picky enough eaters, so I’m not so sure any of these are a great idea to risk giving them trust issues and new food phobias, but the skin-crawling grossness of these edible monstrosities is truly admirable.
