Witches Brew on a Broomstick
"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." William Shakespeare, Macbeth You will love serving this delightfully cheesy brew ...Decorations at a Moment’s Notice (or D.A.M.N.)
Some people in this world can make a gorgeous Halloween decoration for any occasion out of a bowl of grits and twist tie. Well, ok, not grits, but you get the point. Me? Nope, I’m not one of them. Notice the title of this section? I have to think about what I want to do and plan well in advance . . . unlessssssss I decide to throw together a last minute gig! I hope to make a few suggestions about how you can plan decorations and what to grab if you need to throw something together at the last ...Graveyard Surprise Cake
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 point? Ingredients 1 package orange flavored gelatin 1 small package of whipped topping 1 package of chocolate pudding 1 package of thin chocolate cookies 1 package ...How to Host a Spooktacular Halloween Movie-Themed Party
Everyone loves a scary movie, and Hollywood has brought us plenty of them. From the Werewolf to demonic possession to creatures that creep in the deep or come from outer space, movies have helped shape what we think of as horror. Hosting a Halloween movie-themed party celebrates the monsters that keep us on the edge of our seats, year after year. So grab your cape and walk this way to get started on creating what’s sure to be the best party of the season. Dressed to Kill One way to get your guests involved in (and excited about!) your party is ...Haunted Ghost Cake (with real flaming eyes!)
Boo! What is a Halloween party without a little haunting and some magic? This ghost will surprise and delight guests of any age when you turn off the lights and let the flaming eyes dance and dazzle. It will be spooky! Not only is this cake simple and fun to make but you will find yourself using this very easy chocolate dump cake for all of your recipes. It is almost as simple as a mix, yet it turns out a moist, rich chocolate cake that will have everyone asking for more! Ingredients For the Halloween cake 1 cup of boiling water 1 stick ...Pumpkin Brains (aka Spaghetti in a Pumpkin)
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 is a pretty spectacular sight! I have never met anyone else who makes this delightful dish for Halloween. ...Yummy Pumpkin Cookies
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 Los Angeles to request a pumpkin cookie care package, while I make the cookies myself for myself, my husband and ...Beware of Gamers on Halloween - And the Dice They Roll in On!
WARNING! You May Not Be Able to Go Back to Scrabble! Sure, you can play Toss the Body Part or Bobbing For Apples or, heck, even Boo-opoly at your Halloween party, but what if you have some geeks ("Urr, we prefer to be called gamers, thank you") staring at you from beyond the half-empty bowl of cheesy Monster Fingers? We're not talking about nerds, those shadowy computer techies who constantly blabber about UML notations and perfect C# datatypes (I wouldn’t trust these shifty spectacle-clad types). No, I'm talking about a ...Banana Brain Cake
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 Crisco or Pam 2 lbs powdered sugar 1 cup corn syrup 1 cup softened butter 1 drop red food coloring 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 box ...Doom Cupcakes
"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 delicious! For convenience, this recipe uses a mix. However, if you have a favorite chocolate cupcake recipe, feel free to ...
