Halloween Bandaid Cookies
These no-bake Halloween bandaid cookies are equal parts creepy and hilarious — the perfect gross-out snack for your Halloween party spread. Made with vanilla wafers, a smear of white frosting, and a dab of strawberry jelly, they come together in minutes and never fail to get a reaction. Easy, affordable, and guaranteed to disappear fast (after a few double takes).
Ingredients
- White frosting
- Vanilla wafers
- Strawberry jelly
Instructions
- Lay out your cookies: Place your cookies on a sheet of parchment paper or a plate — whatever makes assembly easy. You’re about to turn these innocent little biscuits into something deliciously disturbing.
- Add the "bandage": Using a butter knife, spread about 1/4 teaspoon of white frosting in the center of each cookie. Aim for a small square, about 1 inch wide. If your cookies have ridges or lines, use those as a guide to line up your frosting box nice and neat.
- Add the "blood": Now for the gross part (aka the fun part). Place a tiny dot of strawberry jelly right in the middle of your frosting square — roughly a third the size of a Skittle. It doesn’t have to be exact, but keep it small enough so it looks like a realistic drop of blood, not a jelly explosion.
- Serve and creep people out.: Serve immediately for the freshest look — and if you really want to sell the gag, pop a box of (unused!) bandaids next to the tray. It’s gross. It’s hilarious. It’s Halloween.
