Tips & Tricks for the Best Halloween Toast
- Use thicker bread slices: They hold toppings better and don’t get soggy.
- Pick firm bananas: Too mushy = spooky mess.
- No black frosting? Mix white frosting with black food coloring, or drizzle melted chocolate.
- Make-ahead: Prep ingredients the night before for an easy Halloween morning.
- Party hack: Use mini slices of bread or cut toast into fun shapes with cookie cutters for party platters.
- Healthier swap: Use whole grain bread, almond butter, and fruit-based toppings for a healthier spin.
