Aussie animal-themed party food

Planning an animal-themed party? Here are some ideas for making some simple but fun party snacks

🐨 Koala Cupcakes

Decorate cupcakes with grey frosting, use chocolate buttons or cookies for ears, and add small candy eyes and noses to make them look like cute koalas.

🥪 Wombat Sandwiches

Cut sandwiches into squares or circles, and add small vegetable pieces (like cucumber or olive slices) for eyes and noses to resemble wombat faces.

🦘 Kangaroo Pouches

Create mini pita pockets or small wraps filled with healthy treats like cheese, veggies, or ham, representing a kangaroo’s pouch.

🥞 Platypus Pancakes

Serve pancakes shaped like platypuses, with banana slices for the beak and chocolate chips for the eyes.

🐍 Snake Fruit Skewers

Use long skewers and thread grapes, melon balls, and berries onto them to create fruit snakes. Add a strawberry or candy piece for the snake’s head.

🐊 Crocodile Crackers

Arrange cheese or peanut butter on crackers, and place small cucumber or pickle slices to resemble crocodile teeth, adding olive slices for eyes.

🍿 Kookaburra Popcorn Cups

Serve popcorn in small cups, and top with paper cutouts of kookaburra faces or wings to make them bird-themed.

🪺 Emu Egg Treats

Use large chocolate Easter eggs or make rice cereal treats shaped like emu eggs. Decorate with edible glitter or sprinkles for a special touch.

🍪 Bilby Biscuits

Make cookies shaped like bilbies (a small Australian marsupial), and decorate with icing to match their features, using small candy for eyes and noses.

🦔 Echidna Fruit Platter

Arrange a fruit/cheese/sweet platter with a half watermelon or melon as the body, and use toothpicks to attach fruits like grapes or strawberries to resemble echidna spines. Add blueberry or grape eyes, to a lemon head!

These themed foods will not only taste great but will also add to the festive Aussie-animal atmosphere of the party!
