Welcome to dinner at the Addams Family mansion.

Where the candles flicker, the food bites back, and every dish comes with a side of mystery.

This is a full Addams Family party menu, filled with creepy cocktails, haunted hors d’oeuvres, and desserts that are disturbingly delicious.

You’ll also find a few dramatic black food ideas mixed in for an extra dose of Addams-style gloom.

Whether you’re snacking on Thing’s eyeballs in sauce, sipping a Phantom Punch, or braving Morticia’s mud squares, this delightfully dreadful spread is sure to make your guests scream (with delight).

Just don’t ask what’s really in the dip. Some questions are better left buried.

  • Otherwise known as: Guacamole

    Thick, green, and a little lumpy, this creamy guacamole looks like it came straight out of a bubbling bog.

    Cousin Itt swears by it as a hair treatment, but we prefer it with blue tortilla chips. Perfect for the haunted mansion’s dungeon snack table.

  • Otherwise known as: Spider deviled eggs

    Creamy, creepy, and just the right amount of unsettling.

    Exactly what you’d expect to find at an Addams family gathering.

  • Otherwise known as: Dark fruit salad

    Dark, brooding, and suspiciously fresh, this is exactly the sort of fruit salad Wednesday would approve of.

    Sweet enough to serve to guests, but gloomy enough to keep her reputation intact.

  • Otherwise known as: White queso dip

    Creamy, gooey, and just weird enough to sound like it came from the Addams kitchen.

    Lurch whips up a batch whenever unexpected guests drop in…usually through the floor.

  • Otherwise known as: Caramelized onion dip

    Rich, smooth, and just a little indulgent, this golden caramelized onion dip is one of Gomez’s favorites. Especially when paired with something crunchy and dramatic.

    Morticia says it brings out the best in his fencing form.

  • Otherwise known as: Black and white bowtie pasta salad

    A monochrome pasta salad just as moody as Wednesday herself. Served cold. Dressed in black. Best enjoyed in total silence.

    She won’t admit she likes it, but she keeps coming back for more.

  • Otherwise known as: Spinach artichoke dip

    Dark, leafy, and oddly elegant, this dip comes from the overgrown edges of Morticia’s garden.

    It’s made with plants that scream when picked…but only a little.

  • Otherwise known as: Sweet and sour meatballs

    Even Wednesday approves. Though, she still claims to have seen one blink.

    Serve with Halloween toothpicks or our DIY Addams Family picks.

  • Otherwise known as: Chicken parmesan sliders

    Small, savory, and possibly haunted, these sliders are a nod to the Addams Family’s favorite plot. Burial plots, that is.

    Easy to eat with one hand while clutching a séance candle in the other.

    To make them look more like Halloween, add one of these “RIP” toothpicks to the top of each one before serving.

  • Otherwise known as: Sticky chicken wings

    Sticky, dark, and suspiciously shaped, these wings are a family favorite. Especially on nights with a full moon.

    Gomez calls them “finger food with flair,” while Fester just calls dibs on the last one.

  • Otherwise known as: Black skull cupcakes

    Dark, decadent, and topped with a suitably sinister skull, these black cupcakes look like they came straight from the Addams family bakery.

    They’re the perfect little dessert for anyone who believes a cupcake is much more appealing when it’s staring death in the face.

    Wednesday approves of the color. Morticia appreciates the presentation. Fester just wants to know if the skulls are real.

    Variations: Halloween cupcakes

  • Otherwise known as: Graveyard dirt pudding cups

    Soft, rich, and disturbingly lifelike, these layered pudding cups are topped with crumbled cookie soil and buried candy worms.

    The family likes to serve them with tiny tombstones to honor the dearly departed… or the recently snacked-on.

    Fester recommends eating them with a shovel.

  • Otherwise known as: Bat sugar cookies

    Morticia calls these sugar cookies “charming little familiars,” and swears they only flap when the moon is full.

    Crisp, sweet, and just unsettling enough to make you wonder if they bite back.

  • Otherwise known as: Brownies

    Rich, dark, and almost too dense to be natural, these brownies are made from Morticia’s secret stash of graveyard cocoa.

    Just don’t ask what’s in the “special” batch.

  • Otherwise known as: Bloody knife cupcakes

    These sweet little cakes come topped with tiny bloodied knives and a swirl of sinister frosting.

    Crispin on the outside and suspiciously red on the inside, they’re a favorite of Wednesday’s. She calls them “dessert with a motive.”

  • Otherwise known as: White Chocolate-Dipped Oreos

    Dark chocolate cookies dipped in creamy white chocolate make these treats appropriately stark, sweet, and just a little sinister.

    The black-and-white color scheme earns Wednesday’s approval, while the chocolate coating makes them decadent enough for the rest of the family.

    Wednesday recommends a generous dip. If you’re going to meet your end, you might as well be well dressed.

  • Otherwise known as: Blackberry rum cocktail

    Smooth, dark, and dangerously elegant, this is Morticia’s signature drink.

    She stirs it with a silver dagger, but a cocktail pick will do in a pinch.

  • Otherwise known as: Layered purple hooter Jello shots

    Slimy, jiggly, and strangely addictive, these shots are part science experiment, part party trick.

    Just don’t ask what’s lurking at the bottom.

  • Otherwise known as: Blackberry Sangria

    It’s smooth, rich, and just unsettling enough to make you wonder if the spirits are trying to tell you something.

    Morticia says it’s best served chilled… like the dead.
