This week’s blog post is all about Halloween food! Last night my family had a Halloween party at our house and the food was spookily great, so I thought I’d write about it! This menu is good for a sit down meal or a buffet!
Starters
▪️ Stuffed cockroaches - We stuffed dates with cream cheese and finely chopped walnuts, by cutting a small slit into the the dates and piping in the cream cheese and walnut mix. These really looked like cockroaches so they were very effective and so easy to make! It looks even more effective if you put some fake plastic cockroaches on the plate too!
▪️ Pukin’ pumpkin - We carved a pumpkin to make it look like it was vomiting and put some spicy bean dip coming out of its mouth to look like vomit. We then added a small pot of salsa in the part of the head cut out to make it look like brains! We put the pukin’ pumpkin on a plate and surrounded with Doritos for dipping.
▪️ Mini pizzas with spiders - This is pretty simple - all we did was cook mini pizzas and cut up a black olive to make it look like a spider and placed it on top of the pizza!
▪️ Mummy sausages - We got frankfurter sausages and wrapped puff pastry strips around them to make them look like mummies!
▪️ Cheesy Halloween shapes - We cut out ready-made puff pastry using cookie cutters in Halloween shapes such as ghosts, pumpkins, bats and tombstones etc. They were brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with cheddar cheese on top and then baked in the oven!
Mains
▪️ Chilli with pumpkin purée - We cooked a normal chilli, but put pumpkin purée in it! We served it with rice and sour cream.
▪️ Monster tacos - We made normal tacos using a taco kit and then sliced some black olives and put them in the filled tacos to look like monster eyes!
Desserts
▪️ Halloween cupcakes - We bought some cupcakes from Morrisons that were Halloweeny and they were delicious.
▪️ Mixed berries cheesecake - We bought a mixed berries cheesecake and stuck fake finger into it to make it look like there was a hand emerging from the cake! We added puréed fresh mixed berries as a finishing touch to resemble blood!
▪️ Strawberry jelly brain - We bought a jelly mold from Morrisons to make some strawberry jelly and it was really cool because it wobbled so much (so much that I dropped mine lol) and it looked like a real brain! We put some worm sweets around it too.
That’s all for this week’s blog post! I hope you enjoyed! I hope you all have an amazing Halloween if you celebrate it! I will see you next week for another blog post! Love you all!
Byyeee!!!!
