If you have ever played Plants vs. Zombies then you already know that brains are a delightful treat for our undead brethren. For those of us still living, we can indulge in some brain-related dining with this crazy cool DIY watermelon brain. In order to create this delicious dish all you will need is a peeler, sharp knife, cutting board, watermelon, and a brain!

6. Chocolate Brains

From Spaceships and Laser Beams

When I created my mad science party themed dessert table, I tried to get really creative with some of the food ideas. These chocolate brains were one of the easiest and most fun treats on the dessert table. I simply used a brain freeze ice cube tray as a chocolate mold to make the chocolates and then popped them in the freezer until ready to serve.

7. Blood Splatter Cookies

From Annie’s Eats, inspired by Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle

A spookier option for adult zombie themed parties, these blood splatter cookies are a creepy addition to your party’s dessert table. These cookies are very easy to make too, even for those who are less than confident in their decorating skills. All you do is flood plain sugar cookies with royal icing, and then fling red icing around over top.

8. Zombie Ear Cookies

From Semi Sweet

Fans of The Walking Dead are sure to remember Daryl Dixon’s infamous ear necklace. Turn the gross prop into a creepy edible treat with this fun recipe!

Lace a leather string through the ears for an instant zombie killing souvenir.

Zombies have been feasting on humanity for decades and now it is time to strike back. Let the undead menace discover what it’s like to be gnawed on by whipping up a batch of these Horror Show Pistachio Zombie Cupcakes.

My favorite party treats are the ones that are super easy to make but liven up a dessert table. These Zombie Eyeballs are the epitome of easy and fun. Small waffle pretzels are decorated with a green melting candy, candy eyeball, and some red sugar sprinkles. The end result is a creepy and bloody looking treat that adds a whole level of fun to your dessert table.

12. Boarded up Fire Place Decoration

From A Thousand Phases

Keep the zombies out of the house!
