Halloween is a holiday that children and adults love. Take advantage of the excuse and arrange fun for your friends. Scary masks, decorations and costumes will come in handy this night. However, do not forget to prepare themed snacks that will terrify those around you. On Halloween, it is customary to treat with sweets, which have a very unattractive look. You can create dishes that look a lot like spiders, bats, human eyes, and fingers. Take a note for Halloween and prepare some that will scare and surprise your guests.
The Black Widow and her offspring, sitting on the festive table, will undoubtedly amaze the imagination of the party participants. 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. Divide the filling into egg halves and garnish with olives to make scary spiders out of them.
Sweet Halloween snacks can also have a rather intimidating appearance. We suggest you prepare a classic dish that will resemble the fingers of an evil witch. The cookies require the following ingredients:
We mix all the products, knead the tough dough and remove it to "reach" 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 make nicks with it to represent phalanges and folds. For persuasiveness, brush the tips of your "fingers" with melted chocolate and place a "nail" on them, which will be almonds or peanuts. Place the cookies in the oven for 20 minutes, until they are browned.
Don't forget to make apples and nuts for Halloween. 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 that, 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 top and bottom rows. Instead of nuts, you can use any other treats, such as candied fruits or chewing gum. Sprinkle with cinnamon or vanilla to spice it up.
We present you another option for a Halloween snack. The scary menu can be replenished with delicious cookies, which will also look like a ghoul's grin. To do this, we will need to take red frosting, 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. Grease half of the cookies with icing, put another one on top, and set the marshmallow in two rows in the middle. Place almonds in place of the fangs and serve.
All Halloween recipes are original, and this appetizer will be no exception. We need:
Cut the eggs in half, take out the yolk and mix it with grated cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. Fill the resulting mixture with the protein, which will form the basis for the "eyes". Cut the olives into rings, and then spread them over the filling so that each one resembles a terrible pupil. Let's enhance the effect by decorating the center of the circle with a drop of tomato paste. To make the dish look especially scary, pour ketchup in the center of the plate and place two "zombie eyes" in the middle.
Prepare another Halloween snack and guests will surely appreciate your ingenuity and originality. Crispy web is made from regular pancake dough:
Combine all the ingredients and pour the mixture into a clean ketchup jar. Heat oil in a skillet and lightly paint a spider web pattern. Turn the pancake over gently and serve, sprinkling with 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 the festive table. Punch is considered a traditional drink for Halloween:
Combine the liquids in one large bowl, squeeze citrus juice there and stir. Decorate the edges of the crockery with marmalade and place a ladle next to it for convenience. Children will be delighted with this treat, and adults this evening may well add a little alcohol to their glass.
We hope our Halloween recipes come in handy for the theme party and make the holiday night fun and memorable.

Within a couple of years, apples in a red glossy crust became the number one autumn sweetness, especially on Halloween.
How to cook such caramel apples can be found in the Mozart Cake recipe. Pierre Herme. Add a little red or black food coloring to the caramel and your apples become a "grossly pretty" Halloween table decoration.
Apples in soft caramel (Caramel/ Toffy apples). Wrapped in what we used to call "toffee", they appeared much later. In the 1950s, they were invented by Kraft Foods employee Dan Walker. Like the candy version, this one came up with experiments with candy for Halloween sales. He just melted soft caramel and dipped apples in it - that's the whole story.
Cookies are usually made from shortcrust pastry, add cinnamon, ginger, raisins. Before baking, a cross is drawn on the cookies. It is traditionally served with a glass of wine.
