Gooey Halloween Food Ideas


Keeping with the Halloween theme, here are some more Halloween cooking activities that are ideal for boys (and their pesky sisters) to get involved in.  Boys love to get into messy and gooey things and they love to be grossed out.  Some of these food ideas are perfect for their ghoulish Halloween.

Consider dead fly and pig’s blood icecream.  Grab a witch's cauldron of icecream from the supermarket and then add in the dead flies by using chocolate chips.  Top with the pig's blood which is simply strawberry topping.  With a bit of imagination I am sure you can come up with other concoctions.  Shhh - don’t tell them about the little coloured snakes lurking inside the icecream either.  Let that be a tasty surprise.

Maybe some witches' heads are your preferred choice.  Put a ball of icecream on a plate then place a small icecream cone on top.  It has just the right shape for the perfect hat.  Then use some coloured sprinkles for hair and cake decorations for the eyes, nose and mouth.

Another great idea is a variation of a frog in a pond.  Prepare some different coloured jellies and drop some sour worms (from the supermarket confectionery aisle) into the jelly as it sets.

To create a real ghoulish meal you can combine spaghetti and meatballs.  One idea is to get a couple of meatballs and make them into the shape of a brain and then use the spaghetti and sauce as blood and veins.  Alternatively you can arrange the meatballs on a plate so they look like eye balls.  You could use some round pieces of cheese as the eye itself and then add the spaghetti as the blood and guts. 

Use a bit of imagination and everyone can have some fun on Halloween making these spooky recipes.
