Halloween dishes are scary on the outside, delicious on the inside. According to legend, in order to drive away all evil spirits, you must look scary, decorate your house with scary paraphernalia, and also prepare festive dishes.
CUPCAKES "SPIDERS"
INGREDIENTS:- 500 g chocolate cake mix
- 400 g long licorice leg candies
- 2 glasses chocolate cream or glaze
- dragee candies
- confectioner's sugar for sprinkling (optional)
1. Bake cupcakes using cake mix (directions on package). You will need a muffin tin. They usually bake for 15-20 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool completely.
2. Cut the licorice candies into 7 cm pieces. Spread the cream on 1-2 cupcakes at a time and decorate immediately so that the cream does not dry out. Frost the tops of the cupcakes, insert pieces of licorice candy instead of stems (3 on each side is enough, although unscientific). Insert candies in the shape of teeth and eyes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
Punch "Dead Hand"
All you need is a new rubber glove. Preferably not made of thick rubber. Gray medical gloves work well for this idea.
Fill the glove with cranberry juice or fruit drink, or any red liquid, tie it at the bottom with an elastic band, and place it in the refrigerator until completely frozen. Then we take it out of the freezer and remove the rubber glove from our “hand”.
Cookies "Dracula's Prosthetics".

Preparation homemade frosting: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and milk until it forms a paste. Add sugar syrup And almond extract and beat until the glaze is smooth and shiny. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more sugar syrup.
3) Brush all the cookie halves with icing, arrange the marshmallows onto 24 cookie halves in the order of the teeth, as in the photo. And cover these halves with the second half of the cookies. If you think the structure is not reliable, then you can place more marshmallows behind the decoratively laid out row of teeth.
4) If you haven’t found a small marshmallow or as it is also called “Marshmallow” or the desired soufflé shape, then just buy your favorite marshmallow and decide on the shape you need.
5) Insert pieces of almonds in place of the fangs and delicious Dracula Dentures cookies are ready! 
Cookies "Witch's fingers"

150 g butter

Ingredients:
Cookies are smooth, oval or rectangular in shape
300 grams of chocolate cookies
Gel dye
Gummies in the shape of worms, snails, etc.
Prepare a mold for the finished dish. Grind the chocolate cookies into very fine crumbs; if you think they are not dark enough, then simply add cocoa powder and stir, this should darken the cookie crumbs. Place in a dish. Then, on the smooth cookie, which should look like a tombstone, apply the word “RIP” or another ominous theme with an edible ink pencil. Such pencils are sold in many large stores or confectionery departments, they are already edible and ready for easy application. Place cookies with inscriptions in a dish with chocolate cookie crumbs, then arrange gummy worms and snails. 
Fruit bowl made from orange “Fear”.
Ingredients:
Large oranges
Any fruit for filling
Prepare large oranges, so it will be more convenient for you to cut them, then cut off the “butt” and peel the pulp. Then proceed to cut out the eyes and mouth. Then finely chop your favorite fruits using orange pulp, or prepare another filling and fill the orange. 
Meringue with nuts "Dead Man's Bones"
One more simple idea for a Halloween dessert that can be made with a minimum of ingredients. You can add any nuts to your taste.
Ingredients:
3 squirrels,
half a glass of sugar,
50g nuts
Chocolate shavings for decoration
Preheat the oven to 70-80 C and prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper. Beat the whites with a mixer until medium foam. Without stopping beating with the mixer, gradually add sugar and beat until elastic foam. If the eggs are large and the foam does not become stiff, then add a few more tablespoons of sugar; if the foam does not whip, pour in 1-2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Pour the nuts, crushed to the size of rice, into the whites and quickly but carefully mix with a spoon. Place in a pastry syringe. or polyethylene and cut off a corner. And place on a baking sheet in the shape of seeds. Place in the oven and bake the cakes for 1-1.5 hours. Note: Since nuts contain a lot of oil, it will break up the bubbles formed by the proteins. Therefore, if the nuts are ground very finely or they are mixed for a long time and intensively, the mass may fall off, i.e. baked meringues will be hollow inside and may remain sticky in the middle. 
Chocolate Spider
Ingredients:
Dough:
2 cups flour half tsp. baking powder

And prepare a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Take out the chilled dough and form the body of the spider, creating just a ball, place on a baking sheet, leaving the distance between the balls is approx. 3.5 cm (they will spread later). Bake for 6-7 minutes, remove from the oven, but do not transfer immediately, because... they will be very soft and stick to the paper. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack with a spatula and at this moment, before the dough has yet become hard, attach the legs to the spider. After the body with legs is formed, melt the chocolate, very carefully coat it with chocolate or dip the spider in chocolate and top chocolate decorations with sprinkles.

Well, are you ready to celebrate the night before All Saints' Day and scare your guests with terrible dishes? Halloween is a great reason to organize a friendly party, gather a fun group for a themed dinner and have fun so that you can remember this evening for a long, long time.
Do you think it will all come down to regular gatherings with a glass of wine or a bottle of beer? It is in your hands to organize a holiday that will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, give smiles and laughter, and be remembered by its colors and sounds.
Uh! build a competition for the scariest lantern carved from a pumpkin, hold a competition for the best master by scaring passers-by on the street, find out who is able to beg the most candy from the residents of your house, play “Mafia” in a witch’s style, decorate your apartment with creatively scary candles and spiders. And yes, don’t forget to knock on the doors of all your neighbors: the question “Sweets or life?” will significantly diversify your table, add sea funny stories to the collection of memories of this year's Halloween and will simply cheer up everyone who is lucky enough to be near you on this day. It depends only on you what you will fill this evening with: boring conversations about boring things or active games and entertainment, the main thing is to make the right decision.If you suddenly manage to encourage your guests to come in fancy dress, the holiday will certainly turn out to be perfect. Witches, vampires, skeletons, spiders, all kinds of cats and hedgehog grandmothers are an amazing company to celebrate the night of the Evil Ones.
In addition to the “cultural program,” don’t forget to think about the menu: Halloween is a great reason to cook something unusual, memorable, disgustingly wonderful. Celebration format - buffet: none complex side dishes, multi-component hot dishes and gourmet snacks. Halloween food should be convenient, delicious, simple and, of course, scary, very, very scary.
We offer you sample menu for Halloween celebration. The first part is appetizers, the second is desserts. For the Day of all witches and vampires, ghouls and ghosts - the most suitable option.
Do you like spiders? Is there any? Don't like it? You just don't know how to cook them!
INGREDIENTS:
Peel the onion, cut into small cubes and fry in a heated frying pan in butter until golden.
Boil the eggs, cool, peel and cut in half. We take out the yolk, mash it with a fork along with mayonnaise, pepper and salt. Mix with onions. Filling the egg whites.
Cut each olive berry in half. We place one half on each egg - this is the “body” of the spider, cut the second half into strips, which we lay out around the “body”, simulating legs. Done, you can be scared!
Save yourself, who can - you are attacked by terrible mummies! They climb into your hands en masse, threaten your waist and literally hypnotize, not allowing you to take your eyes off them!
INGREDIENTS:
We take the puff pastry out of the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Unroll and roll out slightly. Lubricate with ketchup. Cut into long strips 1-1.5 cm wide.
Take the peeled sausage and begin to wrap it in dough in a spiral. At the top we leave a “slit” for the eyes.
Place the sausages on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and insert the eyes (clove buds) into the slits. Bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
I suggest diversifying the menu with something not very terrible, but thematic - what if your guests are extremely impressionable and don’t want to treat themselves to spiders and mummies? Spicy pumpkin “sticks” are healthy, tasty and original.
INGREDIENTS:
We clean the pumpkin and cut it into cubes about 5 cm long with edges of 5-7 mm. Place in one layer on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and place in the oven for 20 minutes, preheated to 170 degrees.
After the specified time, remove the pumpkin from the baking sheet and place it in a bowl. Pour oil evenly, add salt, add pepper, squeeze out the garlic, don’t forget about the seeds, mix everything. Place again in an even layer on a baking sheet and return to the oven, increasing the temperature to 210 degrees. 15-20 minutes is enough - you can serve. Delicious both warm and cold.
It is very doubtful that such cookies cause appetite, but it is quite obvious that they provoke certain negative emotions. However, this is how it should be if you invited guests for Halloween!
INGREDIENTS:
Beat the softened butter with sugar, 1 egg and another white, add salt and flour, knead a soft, non-sticky dough. We put it in the refrigerator for half an hour, after which we take it out, divide it into small pieces of the same size, from which we form “sausages”. We give the “sausages” the shape of a finger, reverse side knife we denote the phalanges. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
Dip the peeled almond halves into the remaining yolk and place them at the end of the “finger”, imitating a nail.
Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
The cooled cookies can be lightly sprinkled with jam or preserves - streaks of blood on the vampire’s fingers look very, very picturesque. This is the recipe for Halloween.
INGREDIENTS:
Melt the chocolate in a water bath, remove from heat and leave to cool.
At this time, beat the eggs with powdered sugar - the mass should turn white and increase in volume.
Whip the cream until it reaches a stable foam.
Combine the cream with the egg mixture, then add the chocolate in small portions and mix gently.
Pour the mousse into bowls and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
When serving, sprinkle the surface of the mousse with cocoa powder (imitation earth), stick in a few worms.
If you are worried and do not eat raw chicken eggs, replace them with an equal amount of quail eggs by weight.
You're done, you can feast on those nasty worms! How do you like this dish for Halloween?
What to do if guests flatly refuse to help themselves to fingers and eat worms? Just in case, stuff a few small portioned pumpkins. Tasty, healthy, fragrant and about Halloween.
INGREDIENTS:
Wash the pumpkins and cut off the cap.
Carefully remove the seeds and throw them away.
Boil the rice until half cooked.
Cut dried apricots and prunes into small pieces, mix with raisins, rice, honey. Add cream and mix again.
Cover with a “cap” and bake in the oven at 180 degrees until the pumpkin is ready (about 1 hour). Delicious warm. You can serve with any sweet cream-based sauce.
Recipe 1. Place grapes of the same size on a wooden kebab stick to create some pretty disgusting Halloween-inspired caterpillars. Eyes - from improvised means (chocolate drops, raisins, peppercorns or clove buds). You can wince with disgust.
Halloween Recipe 2. Ready-made store-bought cupcakes can easily be turned into cupcakes by decorating them with the most simple cream white (cottage cheese whipped with cream and powdered sugar, for example). Using chocolate drops or melted chocolate we make eyes and a mouth - the scary ghosts are ready.
Recipe 3. Witch's broom on the holiday table? Easily! Salted straw is the basis. The bottom part is a slice of hard cheese, cut from the bottom to about the middle in the form of a fringe, wrapped around a straw. Rope - a sprig of chives or dill. Did you fly?
Recipe 4. Scary faces you can eat? Easily. You take pita bread, cut out a bunch of circles from it, and in half of them you cut terrible eye sockets and evil mouths. Place pieces of cheese on whole circles, cover with the cut-out parts, put them in the microwave for half a minute - you’ve got excellent “sandwiches” - croutons, which are very pleasant to crunch. Terribly nice!
Halloween Recipe 5. The Vampire Cocktail is the ultimate Halloween treat. All you need to do is buy disposable syringes and fill them with something red - for example, Bloody Mary or even regular pomegranate juice. Bloody drink is what you need!
Recipe 6. The simplest Halloween decor is a spider web. It can be easily represented using mayonnaise (on salads or sandwiches) or thick sour cream(on cakes or cupcakes). The aerobatics are “painting” with ketchup or glazed balsamic vinegar, melted chocolate or buttercream.
Recipe 7. Purchased yeast dough It's very easy to roll out into a ghost shape. Grease it with sour cream, sprinkle grated cheeses- The pizza is almost ready. All that remains after baking is to finish drawing the eyes - ketchup will help you.
Recipe 8. Peel a few pears, boil them in white wine, place them on plates, draw eyes and mouth with chocolate - delicious ghosts are ready. Fast and quite scary.
Halloween Recipe 9. Buy a lot of oranges, cut off the “caps”, take out the pulp (juice is an excellent solution), cut out the eyes and other details in the resulting “cups” to make a vile and disgusting face. Then prepare any salad, fill the orange “plates” with it and serve. Very much in the holiday spirit!
Recipe 10. Wrap store-bought juice bags (200 ml in volume) with toilet paper or masking tape, draw scary eyes and open mouths - the mummies are ready, you can celebrate.
2. Don’t forget to “decorate” napkins and towels for guests with bloody handprints – textile paints are quite suitable for these purposes. Of course, you will have to tinker a little, but the effect is worth it!
3. The web simply must entangle your entire apartment, otherwise Halloween will not happen. Don't forget about the toilet, glasses, doorways, chairs, plates.
4. Candles – by all means! Old, leaky, crooked, dark, broken - this is what you need to celebrate Halloween. However, white will look good too - the main thing is, before decorating your apartment with it, take a red candle, light it, and lightly pour melted paraffin on the white one, simulating streaks of blood. Very relevant!
5. However, you don’t have to use candles - the simplest candlesticks made from the most ordinary jars will look breathtaking if you apply a layer of paint on each of them. a quick fix a drawing in the form of scary faces, skulls, spiders and other nasty things. By the way, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive paints for glass: Halloween lasts one night, and gouache or ordinary acrylic will completely survive it.
6. Down with white starched tablecloths, the table needs to be covered with black cloth! Put long knee socks on the table legs, put them in old boots - here's another “guest” for you in the Halloween format.
7. What about bats? Cutting them out of black paper is as easy as shelling pears. All that remains is to hang it on the trees, hide it around the corner, and place it on the balcony. It has been tested - people are guaranteed to flinch when such an animal suddenly appears before their eyes.
8. A few meters of cheap white gauze thrown over the chandelier - and now you have a personal ghost at your party. Don't forget to draw the eyes - for greater persuasiveness.
9. If suddenly you are not lucky enough to buy a lot of red-sided pumpkins, inflate the balloons. Of course, orange. Arm yourself with a black isolette, depict weirdos and monsters on the balloons - voila, you can decorate your house.
10. Have you seen table tennis balls at your nearest sporting goods store? Have you seen sets of “eyes” for children’s creativity at your nearest stationery? Glue them together and you've got nasty eyeballs that can be put on plates, quietly stuffed into guests' pockets, and given as parting gifts.

Halloween - unusual holiday. Halloween treats are also unique. Recipes for “scary” and interesting dishes presented in this article.
Halloween is the holiday of “all the dead.” It has very deep historical roots. Halloween has been celebrated since ancient times on the last day of October, namely 31st. This day is considered the last date for harvesting. It is believed that having finished its fertile season, the soil has strength and power.
It is on Halloween that the earth is able to “resurrect” dead ancestors buried in it. For that so that ghosts do not disturb the harmony of the world of the living, it was decided to scare them away in all sorts of ways. To do this, people dressed up in costumes and put on scary masks that looked like the faces of the dead.
Realizing that among them there were exactly the same creatures, the ghosts did not touch the living. They disappeared when the sun rose on the first of November.
The symbol of the holiday is pumpkin. This fruit is the last in the entire harvest and therefore has a lot of significance for the holiday. Pumpkin is the main decorative element of Halloween and its main ingredient of dishes. Treats can be literally prepared snacks from pumpkin, replicating its external characteristics.

What would Halloween be without the main attribute of this holiday - pumpkins? You can make a wonderful lantern with your own hands from a pumpkin to decorate your holiday table. And pumpkin pulp can be used to prepare very tasty and healthy dishes.
Today we will cook roast pumpkin in a pot under the edible Witch's Cauldron lid.
To prepare our dish you need:
We will make an edible lid from unleavened dough. For this we need:
Remove the entire core from the pumpkin.
Cooking necessary products. First we will wash and peel all the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into small pieces.
Onion - cubes. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the pumpkin into pieces; if you want it to retain its shape when cooking, cut it larger; if not, cut it smaller; the finer you cut it, the more it will boil.
Cut the ribs into separate portions, 1-2 ribs in each pot, then fry in a frying pan until half cooked.
Cut the peppers into strips, tomatoes into slices or slices.
Fry the onions and carrots (in sunflower oil), then add the pumpkin and simmer lightly.
Then we knead the unleavened dough and cover it with a napkin (so as not to dry out), and begin placing all the prepared ingredients into the pots.
Place the chopped potatoes in the pots (you can add a little salt by stirring them).
Place the ribs in the next layer. Then pepper. The next layer is frying carrots, onions and pumpkin.
Place tomatoes on top.
The lids of our holiday pot will be in the shape of a spider.
We make a flat cake from the dough and cover the neck of our pot with it, roll out spider “legs” from small pieces of dough (8 pieces) and attach them to the body flat cake.
That’s almost all - now we put our “witch’s pots” in an oven preheated to 200*C for about 30 minutes.
We take the dish out of the oven.
Carefully (so as not to get burned) remove the caps - bon appetit and have a fun Halloween!
Pumpkin baked with rosemary and garlic will also be a great addition for Halloween.
I needed:
A piece of pumpkin needs to be peeled from a thick peel and cut into slices about 1 cm wide. Place the pieces on a baking sheet.
Salt the pumpkin. Make sure that all pieces are well salted.
Add 1-2 teaspoons of granulated sugar. This is to highlight the sweetness of the pumpkin, as it is one of the few sweet vegetables. If you don't sweeten it, the pumpkin will taste like unleavened potatoes.
Finely chop or squeeze the garlic cloves through a press. Garlic will add an incredible aroma while roasting.
Add a spoon or two of olive oil. It is needed for a beautiful crispy crust on the pumpkin. Stir until the oil and garlic evenly coat the pieces.
Place sprigs of fresh rosemary on top of the slices. This is enough to add flavor while baking, and then the dried rosemary will be easy to remove.
Place the pan in the oven at 190-200 degrees for 40 minutes. Sometimes more is needed. Be guided by the color of the pumpkin - the pieces should become golden and crispy.
This pumpkin can be served as a main dish or as a side dish. The pumpkin turns out very fragrant, soft on the inside, but crispy on the outside.
Bon appetit!
These eggs look scary, in the spirit of the holiday, but at the same time they are very tasty and aromatic.
Eight chicken eggs place in a saucepan, cover with water, add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of salt and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, then drain the water and cool the eggs. Using a spoon, gently crack the eggshells until they crack, but do not peel them. Pour 3 cups of water into a separate pan, add 1 tbsp. spoon soy sauce, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of dry black tea leaves, 2 star anise, 1 cinnamon stick, zest of one tangerine and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the syrup over low heat for 2 hours. Remove the finished syrup from the heat, dip eggs with cracked shells into it and let them brew at room temperature for 10 hours. Cool the finished eggs, peel them and serve.
24 sausages
1 package frozen puff pastry
mayonnaise and/or mustard
1. Defrost puff pastry to room temperature, and at this time unpack the sausages and rinse with cold water - pat dry with a napkin.
2. Cut the puff pastry into thin strips, like mummy bandages: the thinner the “bandages,” the more realistic your dish will look. Wrap each sausage in a strip of pastry, leaving a piece of sausage exposed at one end. Place your mummies on a greased baking tray and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 15 minutes - the dough should be golden and delicious.
3. When the sausages in the dough are ready, take mayonnaise or mustard and carefully draw eyes and a mouth on the open ends of the sausages. Carefully place your mummies on the plate so that they do not turn over “face down” and get smeared.
Portioned orange salad is a simple recipe that will help create the appropriate atmosphere in your home.
To prepare you need:
Let the eggs cook, and while they are boiling, chop the crab sticks and put them in a salad bowl. Cut the cucumber into small cubes and send it to crab sticks. Peel the hard-boiled eggs, finely chop them and add to the rest of the ingredients. We do the same with chopped herbs and canned corn. Season with mayonnaise
mix, add salt. Now our salad is ready. Now let's start decorating.
Take a large orange, cut off its top part and carefully remove all the pulp with a teaspoon. We do the same with the rest of the oranges. Oranges will play the role of a miniature pumpkin.
We cut out an “evil face” in our “pumpkin”. You can, of course, make it funny, but it’s not for everyone. And fill it with salad.
I chose one of the variations to fill crab salad, because my family loves him. But you can prepare any other salad. This dish will look original on your holiday table.
Lay out all the ingredients in layers.
- grated potatoes;
- mayonnaise;
- pickled onions;
- half the meat, cut into squares;
- mayonnaise;
- cucumbers cut into squares;
- mayonnaise;
- the rest of the meat;
- mayonnaise;
- grated cheese;
- mayonnaise;
- grated egg;
- mayonnaise.
Cut out a spider from boiled beets (oval butt and body, long thin legs for better placement) and decorate the salad. Advice: It is advisable to cut the beets to the required size and place them to dry on a towel so they will not quickly stain the salad.
Mix three cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Beat one glass of powdered sugar with a mixer with 200 gr. softened butter. Continuing to beat, add one egg, 1 teaspoon each of almond and vanilla extract. When the ingredients are well mixed, without stopping whisking, gradually add the mixture of flour, salt and baking powder. Ready dough Wrap in cling film and leave in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Take the dough out of the refrigerator in small portions, form it into long, thin, finger-shaped cookies, pressing one almond onto one end to represent fingernails. Lightly squeeze your cookie in two places to form knuckles. Bake for 20 minutes on a baking sheet covered with a sheet of greased baking paper in an oven preheated to 180⁰C. Cool the finished cookies slightly, remove the almonds, grease the cavity with any red jam and place the “nail” in its rightful place.
Easy to make for Halloween pumpkin pie, as most American housewives do. Or you can come up with something more sophisticated - like a Halloween cake with fruit and chocolate icing. Let's call it “Cobweb”, since we will decorate it in that spirit.
For the fruit sponge cake we will need:
For chocolate glaze we will need:
1. Let's prepare the ingredients for our delicious Halloween baked goods.
2. Beat eggs with sugar into a strong foam. It should turn dazzling white, and this will be a sure sign that the sugar has dissolved well in the egg mass.
3. You need to quench the soda with vinegar: stir and wait until the “hissing” stops.
4. Add sifted flour to eggs beaten with sugar.
5. Gently stir the mixture until smooth. If bubbles begin to inflate and burst on the surface of the dough, do not be alarmed: this is not the machinations of evil spirits, but the slaked soda is simply making itself known. It performs its tasks of enriching the dough with oxygen.
6. Wash the apple, peel it, remove the seeds and cut into thin slices.
7. The washed peach also needs to be cut thinner - into small slices.
8. Grease the bottom of the springform pan with butter or margarine. Attention: there is no need to grease the sides of the mold, otherwise your sponge cake will rise poorly or not rise at all. Place the chopped fruits in the mold.
9. Pour the dough on top and place the biscuit in the oven. It should be baked for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. Check readiness with a toothpick or wooden stick. When baking, the dough behaves quite insidiously: it can become covered with golden brown crust, while the inside of the cake will remain raw.
10. While the sponge cake is baking, let's collect the ingredients and prepare the chocolate glaze.
11. In an enamel saucepan, melt the butter until liquid.
12. Pour it there granulated sugar and cocoa powder. Stir everything thoroughly: no lumps should form in the glaze.
13. When the butter-chocolate mixture boils, add sour cream to it.
14. The glaze needs to be boiled for 1.5-2 minutes, then removed from the stove and cooled.
15. The biscuit also needs to cool - do not remove it from the mold until it reaches room temperature.
16. Apply glaze to the surface of the biscuit. It is better to do this in two layers. Apply the first layer and place the future cake in the refrigerator for 15 minutes: let the chocolate coating thicken and “set.” Apply the second layer - let the cake rest in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
17. Now we will prepare materials for decorating the Halloween cake. You can take ready-made whipped cream - it’s convenient to draw a “cobweb” with it and candies - marshmallows and chewing marmalade. Using the latter, you can “sculpt” a spider figurine, but the cake as a whole will be good without it.
18. Place the whipped cream in a pastry bag or simply in a plastic bag with the tip neatly cut off.
19. Using a bag, squeeze the cream onto the glazed surface of the cake in the form of concentric circles.
21. From the center of the cake we lay several “rays” with cream - now our web has a completely believable appearance.
22. Place a spider on the edge of the cake: its body and legs are cut out of blueberry gummies, its mouth is made of red marmalade, and its eyes are made of white marshmallows. The Halloween cake is ready. Have a fun and delicious Halloween!
Before All Saints' Day comes Halloween night, a time when the line between the world of the living and the world of the dead becomes extremely thin. Therefore, the entry of uninvited guests into the house in the form of evil spirits becomes almost inevitable. Agree, not a very pleasant visit!
In this regard, in order to somehow protect themselves from them, people try to “disguise themselves” and confuse the evil spirits. They put on scary costumes and terrifying masks, and also prepare dishes for the table that have the same “attractive” appearance.
Let’s not think twice and join in the general “fun.” We are organizing a Halloween themed meal called “Hand of the Vampire”. This will be a delicious Halloween treat (despite its scary appearance). For this we will need the following products:
For the test:
60 ml gin or vodka
15 ml dry vermouth
1 olive stuffed with a piece of pepper
1 large radish (the olive should fit inside the radish)
“Bloody Eyes” must be prepared in advance, at least a day before the holiday. Peel the radishes so that only red stripes remain, simulating blood vessels. Using a small knife, cut a hole in the radish the size of the olive you will insert. Place each prepared radish in an ice tray, fill with water and place in the freezer. When making a cocktail, simply combine vodka or gin with vermouth and drop a bloody eye ice cube into the glass.
Halloween is a holiday that children and adults love. Take advantage of the occasion and organize a fun party for your friends. Scary masks, decorations and costumes will come in handy this night. However, do not forget to prepare themed snacks that will inspire fear in others. On Halloween, it is customary to treat people to sweets that look very unattractive. You can create dishes that closely resemble spiders, bats, human eyes and fingers. Take note for Halloween and prepare something that will scare and surprise your guests.
The black widow and her offspring, located on the holiday table, will undoubtedly capture the imagination of partygoers. Boil a few eggs and cut them in half. Remove the yolks, mash them with a fork, mix with spices, mayonnaise, salt and fried onions. Place the filling in the egg halves and decorate with olives, making scary spiders out of them.
Halloween sweet snacks can also be quite scary in appearance. We suggest you prepare classic dish, which will resemble the fingers of an evil witch. The cookies will require the following ingredients:
Mix all the products, knead the dough and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Then we roll out sausages from the dough, which will represent the fingers of the old witch. Take a kitchen knife and use it to make notches that will represent phalanges and folds. To be convincing, grease the tips of your “fingers” with melted chocolate and place a “nail” on them, the role of which will be played by almonds or peanuts. Place the cookies in the oven for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
Don't forget to make Halloween snacks using apples and nuts. They look pretty creepy, but they are very healthy and contain a lot of vitamins. So, we need to take several fruits of different colors, cut them into quarters and remove the seeds. After this, cut out the middle part so that the apple resembles an open mouth. We clean the nuts and insert them instead of teeth into the upper and lower rows. Instead of nuts, you can take any other treats, such as candied fruits or chewing gum. To add some spice to the dish, you can sprinkle it with cinnamon or vanilla.
We present you another Halloween snack option. The scary menu can be replenished very delicious cookies, which will also look like the grin of a ghoul. To do this we will need to take red icing, almonds and marshmallows. Instead of frosting, you can use condensed milk mixed with food coloring. Cut the marshmallows into small pieces so that they resemble teeth. Brush half a cookie with frosting, place another one on top, and place marshmallows in two rows in the middle. Place almonds in place of the fangs and serve.
All Halloween recipes have an original twist, and this appetizer will be no exception. We will need:
Cut the eggs in half, remove the yolk and mix it with grated cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. Fill the resulting mixture with the egg white, which will become the basis for the “eyes.” Cut the olives into rings, and then arrange them on the filling so that each one resembles a terrible pupil. Let's enhance the effect by decorating the center of the circle with a droplet tomato paste. To make the dish look especially scary, pour ketchup into the center of the plate and place two “zombie eyes” in the middle.
Prepare another version of the Halloween appetizer, and your guests will definitely appreciate your ingenuity and originality. Crispy web is prepared from regular pancake dough:
Mix all the products and pour the resulting mixture into a clean ketchup jar. Heat the oil in a frying pan and, using light movements, create a pattern in the form of a web. Carefully turn the pancake over and serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or grated chocolate.
Cocktails prepared for a party should also match the mood. Particular attention should be paid to their design and presentation to festive table. Traditional drink Punch is considered Halloween:
Combine the liquids in one large bowl, squeeze in the citrus juice and stir. Decorate the edges of the dishes with marmalade and place a ladle nearby for convenience. Children will be delighted with this treat, and adults may well add a little alcohol to their glass this evening.
We hope that our Halloween recipes will be useful for your themed party and make your holiday night fun and memorable.
