【En la intimidad】

Halloween is En la intimidada time to receive staggering amounts of free candy, but it's also a surprisingly harrowing time for party foods.

Remember the peeled grape "eyeballs" in the lo-fi haunted houses of your youth? People love to make stuff like that on Halloween and then expect you to actually eat it. And for every delicious Reese's pumpkin in the world, there's a spongy, troubling Circus Peanut.

Here are 10 of the weirdest, most disturbing Halloween-ish foods we could find on the internet. If you want to throw a party with the theme "cursed," get all of them and assemble the most viscerally jarring party spread of all time.

1. Candy corn pizza

Each year around Halloween, every single person on the internet suddenly develops an unshakeable, deeply-felt opinion on candy corn, which tastes like sugar and absolutely nothing else. Someone always brings up this candy corn pizza, which seems to be a normal frozen pizza with candy corn on it. You can also make a pizza that simply resembles candy corn, if that's more your speed.

2. Circus Peanuts

Circus Peanuts are 200 years old and taste like someone gave you one bite of an overripe banana and then punched you in the face. They are the most cursed Halloween candy of all.

3. Circus Peanut Jell-O salad

In this scary recipe, the most cursed Halloween candies of all — again, Circus Peanuts — are chopped up into horrible little pieces and incorporated into a Jell-O salad.

4. Meat hand

This is a hand made of meat, the original version of which comes courtesy of the blog Not Martha. The wrist bones and nails are made of onion.

The recipe writer, Megan Reardon, made the original meat hand with a hand-shaped gelatin mold, so consider picking up one of those before you attempt.

5. Bloody brain shooter

A bloody brain shooter is a shot glass of peach schnapps into which you have also dribbled Irish cream and grenadine. The liqueur curdles and rises to the top, which makes it resemble a brain. The grenadine is the blood.

How does it taste? I will never find out.

6. Black licorice

Goth, but bad. How can we argue about Twizzlers vs. Red Vines when black licorice still exists?

7. Finger breadsticks

Complete with almond fingernails (feel free to use another nut if you want), these breadsticks are upsetting to look at and perhaps not even that good to eat. (The maple-mustard dip looks good, though!) Try them for yourself and report back.

8. Cat litter cake

My colleague says he "almost threw up looking at this." My takeaway: You should make it for your friends and see if they throw up! There are quite a few online recipes to choose from here, but here's one from AllRecipes and one from Tastemade.

9. Millipede cake

Bring the nightmare bugs with too many legs from your basement into the kitchen. Check out the full recipe at I Am Baker.

10. Lemonheads

I hate Lemonheads so much. They're not that sweet; they're not that sour. What's the point? This is just a personal thing.
