Last week, I was hit by the realization that Christmas is mere weeks away. Which means that the new year is not too far behind.

This year, Christian and I participated in a fun campaign hosted by Tyson Foods. We were tasked with a challenge: come up with Halloween twists on some of our favorite Tyson products.

The result? A menagerie of spooky-yet-tasty appetizers for a neighborhood party.

On the menu:

Bat Wings: Tyson Any’tizers BBQ Wings

Mummy Dogs- Ball Park Hot Dogs wrapped in a crescent roll (we also had a corn dog version)

Spider Web Chicken- Tyson Any’tizers Chicken Fries and a tasty sauce

Graveyard Nuggets- Tyson Chicken Nuggets Dipped in our fave bbq sauce

Monster Toes- Hillshire Farms Lit’l Smokies with a dot of bbq sauce for the creep factor

I’d say they were a hit!
