Halloween Party Fun

Typically, at Halloween parties you will find candy corn, candied apples, caramel apples, and a cauldron with dry ice and punch. These are all great and fun. But when you do the same thing every year, you might want a little change or to spice things up a bit.

Here are some fresh new ideas for your Halloween Party.

*Cookie Fingers
(uncertain of actual recipe because I saw them at a Halloween party that I went to.)

It looked like a sugar cookie mix or dough dyed green with food coloring.
The cookie dough was shaped to look like a finger.
The nail on the finger was an almond slice.
Lines were made in the finger for the knuckles as well.
It was great and looked really real.

I found some great and spooky recipes at Rexanne’s Halloween Site.

Her sit will link you to other sites that have the recipes on them.
One I looked at that had some really great ideas–some were really gross was this site here. I am not sure what the formal name of the site is. I scrolled up and down and found some great ideas on things people already serve at parties–the name had just been changed a bit to fit the season.

Here are a few examples:
Dried Cranberries–Dried Cranberry Scabs (a bit gross but definitely fits the season.)
Buffalo Wings–Bat Wings
Apple Slices with a fruit dip–Sneaky Slices with Golden Goo

So with that in mind, take an old favorite recipe and put a Halloween season name to it. Be creative. Ask you children to help you. They can be so creative.

FamilyFun.com has a huge list of great ideas.

If you are having a party for teenagers, take a look here at this site. England made me has some great ideas for a spooky teenage party.

This last website is great. The article is titled, “Halloween Food for the Kids.”
The recipes included sound rather disgusting, but the ingredients are quite tasty.

Here are some of the items you can make.
Blood Baths–made with raspberries and rolled puff pastry sheets
Bleeding Fingers–made with egg whites, jellybeans, and jam
Brittle Meringue Bones–egg whites, sugar, and vanilla
Maggot Mounds–made with coconut, condensed milk, vanilla essence, and glace cherries

The name may not be appetizing, but the ingredients are. These would be great for a big kid party or a little kid party.
