The Story & Intro
When I was little, Halloween wasn’t a big thing in Greece, especially not in Crete. But over the years, especially with my own nieces and nephews around, I’ve come to love the silliness and sweetness of it all. Costumes, spooky decorations, and most importantly fun, themed food! Last October, my kitchen turned into a little haunted bakery. The kids were covered in peanut butter and jelly, and we were all giggling while making these Spooky Halloween Toast with Monster Face Toppings.
This recipe isn’t just about toast it’s about memories. I believe food should bring joy, not stress. That’s why this Spooky Halloween Toast with Monster Face Toppings is so easy, so fun, and so customizable. Whether you’re hosting a Halloween party or just want to surprise the kids after school, this is the kind of treat that turns a simple day into something magical.
The best part? You can get creative with toppings fruits, spreads, and even candy eyes! And if your kitchen gets messy? That’s where the fun is.
So, grab your bread and let’s get a little spooky together.

Step by Step: How to Make Spooky Halloween Toast
- Toast the bread
Lightly toast your bread slices. This gives them a little crunch and makes spreading easier. - Spread your monster base
Choose your base: peanut butter, cream cheese (colored if you like!), or chocolate spread. Cover the entire toast with your spooky base. You can make one slice green, one brown, one purple variety makes it fun! - Create monster faces
Let the kids help with this! Use:- Banana slices + blueberries = eyes
- Kiwi or apple slices = mouths or spooky eyebrows
- Mini marshmallows = teeth
- Pretzel sticks = hair, antennae, or scars
- Grapes or strawberries = monster tongues or noses
- Candy eyes = instant silliness!
- Add the details
Use mini chocolate chips or raisins for pupils, scars, or creepy smiles. Use Halloween sprinkles for extra pizzazz. The weirder, the better! - Serve and scare (in a good way!)
Place your monster toasts on a tray and serve them with a big smile. You can even name each monster together Frankentoast, Blueberry Beast, or Scream Cheese!
Serving Ideas
These are perfect for Halloween breakfast, spooky school lunches, party snacks, or just a fun weekend kitchen activity. Pair with:

- Halloween fruit punch with floating grape “eyeballs”
You can also turn this into a “build-your-own-monster” bar with bowls of toppings set out and let everyone design their own creature. Messy? Absolutely. Memorable? Even more so.
