Doesn’t time fly its Halloween again, and I can’t wait, I have been trying out some Halloween treat ideas for next week, much to Thomas’s delight, they would be great for a party, you could use the ‘eyeballs’ as a spooky decoration.
Ghastly eyeballs on sticks
What you will need
- Large white marshmallows
- Red food colouring or red icing in a tube
- Smarties
- Round Black liquorice sweets or black icing in a tube
- Cocktail sticks
- Scissors
What you need to do
- Carefully trim the edges from your marshmallows to make them round
- Stick a cocktail stick into each one
- To make the veins dip the end of a cocktail into the food colouring and paint thin wiggly lines onto the marshmallow or pipe on red lines with your icing.
- Attach your Smartie (iris) to the front of marshmallow with icing or by slightly wetting the marshmallow to make it sticky.
- For the pupil cut the liquorice toffees into thin slices and stick one onto the smartie by slightly wetting it or add a blob of black icing.
- To serve simply stick them into a pumpkin
Gooey swamp pots
What you will need
- Packets of Lime Green Jelly (each pack will make approx. 3 servings depending on pot size)
- Spooky sweets – snakes/body parts/bugs
- Chocolate biscuits
- Popping candy
What you need to do
- In a jug make up the jelly as per the instructions on the packs.
- Pour the jelly into your clear pots and put them into the fridge until they just begin to set.
- Remove from the fridge and carefully push your sweets into the green goo, arrange some so that they are sticking out and hanging over the pot.
- Return your pots to the fridge to set.
- Place your chocolate biscuits in a bag and bash into crumbs with a rolling pin.
- Just before serving sprinkle the chocolate crumbs on the top with some of the popping candy for a crunchy exploding experience.
Both ideas went down well with Thomas, he enjoyed the Swamp Pots the most.
Whatever you do/make for Halloween have lots of fun.
