Want a special Halloween menu for a simple, scrumptious meal to enjoy after Trick or Treating with your clan? Here’s a simple meal that you can make easily that’s totally in the “spirit” of the season! Get your little ones in the Halloween jammies (my favorites? Check CWD Kids) and Hanna Andersson) and munch away. Of course, you’ll have to keep your kids out of their treat bags so they’ll be monstrously ...
Looks like play dough? Check. Smells like candy? Check. Great for Halloween? Check. Tastes great? Yummy! Edible play dough is such a great thing. Kids can play with it and eat all they want (because there is no sugar, and they will get their fill quickly). The recipe is quick and adjustable, and even better it can be used with 'butters' other than peanut butter!
Playdough Ingredients
Making home-made play dough is simple:
1 cup creamy peanut ...
Are you like me? Does Halloween form the basis of many of your favorite childhood memories? It was absolutely magical for me as a child. Now that I’m a parent, I try to bring that level of excitement to my own munchkins. I’m no craft-happy homemaker (don’t I wish?!) but I do try to piece together some special times during the season. Traditions form the fabric which weaves the happiest, richest holiday memories. I ...
"Hubble, bubble, a dead man’s stubble, …
A poisoned well became my task,
A fog crowned night in stealth I crept
And in the vacant mouth I poured
A leprous flask of blasted sin."

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out! I dare you to enter this dark, spooky graveyard and dig in the dirt. When you do, you will discover worms and the slimy (but yummy!) layers beneath the dirt.
This gelatin concoction is great for kids’ parties. It is fun and simple for kids to make. The result is a festive, colorful presentation and a combination of flavors and textures that is completely delectable. It looks gross, but isn’t that the ...

One of my favorite family Halloween traditions is eating spaghetti in a pumpkin on Halloween night. Every year, without fail, my dad would hollow out a pumpkin while my mom cooked the spaghetti, and we would feast at the table. It is a bit messy and time consuming if you are not having a party.
However, if you are having a party, or having the neighbors and their kids over for dinner before or after trick-or-treating, it ...
The highlight of Halloween when I was growing up were the pumpkin cookies. The recipe originally came from a can of Libby’s pumpkin, but we have tweaked the recipe a bit and made it our own. My mom would spend hours tirelessly (well, maybe not tirelessly) making the cookies so that my sister and I, along with our friends, could decorate them. The Pumpkin Cookie tradition endures to this day. My sister phones my mom from ...
Your guests will be delightfully disgusted to see you serving a brain on a platter. Easy fondant icing helps you create a brainy surface that looks realistic. The fun begins, though, when you slice into it and banana pudding oozes out! Bring out your inner cannibal with this tasty idea.
Ingredients
2 boxes white cake mix
8 inch diameter stainless steel bowl
8 inch cake pan
spray oil pan release, like ...
"Doom" has several different definitions. The most familiar meaning of the word is "destruction," or "ruin," but an older definition is fate or destiny. These cupcakes incorporate both meanings of the word. They are decorated for Halloween to look like a little slice of the graveyard, but they can also hide fortune, to reveal the destinies of you and your guests. Of course, the fortune-telling part is all fun and games. The cupcakes, on the other hand, are seriously ...
These sweet, squishy Halloween treats look positively unnerving staring up from a party platter. For the ultimate in gross realism, the eyeballs gush "eyeball jelly" when eaten. Gross… but very tasty! Kids love these, but they do have a lot of sugar. So, unless you have padded walls, it is probably best to make sure they have an outside activity to do afterwards - trick-or-treating, perhaps? These are much easier to make than they look!
Ingredient List
1 bag ...
Severed fingers with rotted black fingernails . . . hungry yet?

Everyone needs at least one quick and easy Halloween recipe. Kids will love these, and this recipe is easy enough that they can help make the fingers.

This is easy to make and delicious. This dip is complemented by a simple bone breadstick recipe for dipping.

This is a recipe with flair! The presentation is part of the overall recipe, and it makes a great centerpiece your Halloween party.
On your table, hang Halloween plastic streamers (the kind with the ghosts and/or witches and cats) around the edges, about one or two inches down. Place a white or light-colored table cloth over the streamers, covering them completely. You can also get a large table cloth that will hang near to the floor.
Under the table place an ...
This beautiful coffin-shaped cake is the perfect dessert to add a little bit of class to your Halloween party. In fact, why limit the recipe just to Halloween? This cake would also make an outstanding birthday cake, either for the morbid Goths in your social circle or for an over-the-hill birthday party. Whatever time of year you choose to enjoy it, this rich chocolate cake is to DIE for!

This "Rat Stew" is complete with legs, tails, whiskers, eyes and entrails. This Halloween recipe is actually for a scrumptious Mediterranean stew, baked in a real pumpkin for a stunning presentation. If anyone thinks they have identified the "rat legs" as chicken, simply give them an evil smile and say, "Well, they say everything tastes like chicken, right?" Even though it may look complicated, this is an easy recipe.

The Black Death . . . A dreaded plague that wiped out much of Europe in the 14th century. First, the patients broke out into black boils. After that came fever and delirium. Death ultimately followed. This potent adults-only fruit punch brings the magic of the black plague to your Halloween party!
Brew Ingredients
1 two-liter bottle of grape soda ginger-ale or Sprite (grape soda is too sweet)
1 packet of black cherry Kool-Aid
1 12 oz of frozen berries (a mix of ...
As you can see below, this Halloween dessert looks really gross, just the way kids and kids-at-heart like it! However, it’s actually quite tasty - a perfect mix of sweet and tart. Kids will love digging out the worms and other ghoulish goodies from the Jell-O. If you have a Jell-O Mold, you could also make this in a mold. If not, just use a clear glass bowl.

If you're as skilled in food preparation as I am (and I'm generally about as useful in the kitchen as a set of golf clubs is to a tree frog), you're probably always happy to learn about a Halloween party treat that's so simple to make that even you can do it. Working against the obvious kitchen-related disadvantage of being Male, I'm pleased to report that I came up with a spooky treat that even my fellow husbands ...
