- 1 cup of mayonnaise (lowfat/fat free optional)
- 2 and a half cups of lemon gelatin (sugar-free is optional)
Procedure:
Heat the water in a double boiler and dissolve lemon gelatin. Add in the marshmallows and stir until it melts. Take the mixture off the heat and add both the cream cheese and pineapple juice. Beat the mixture till the ingredients are well mixed and let it cool for five minutes before stirring in the mayonnaise. Tip the blend into a round ceramic dish or round ice cube trays and let it set in the refrigerator. Once the mix has set, scoop the eyeballs (with melon baller or ice cream scoop) into waxed paper then put them aside to be suitably painted. For this, utilize some liquid food coloring and apply on the pupils and irises as desired.
Witches Fingers
A.k.a Salami and Cream Cheese Wraps
Ingredients:
- Toothpicks
- Cream Cheese
- Salami (Sliced)
- Mini sweet pickles
Step by Step:
Cut the pickles into 4s lengthwise. The length of the pickles must be fairly similar to the salami's length. Apply a thin spread of the cream cheese on the cut salami and then fold it round the cut pickle. Fasten the wrapping with a tooth pick to keep shape. You can also get some Halloween-themed toothpicks to give it that extra spooky kick.
Scary Sandwiches
Ingredients:
- Bread (sliced)
- Sandwich filling (any choice)
- Halloween-themed cookie cutters (metal)
- Condiments
Procedure:
Spread a layer of filling on the sandwiches. Make sure that the amount of filling is enough to make the sandwiches stick together and not fall to bits when you cut them. Once the sandwich is done, cut the edges of the sandwich using the cookie cutter. You should utilize a cutter made out of metal as the plastic ones often do not cut through the contents of the sandwich. If required, secure the sandwich by using a toothpick.
These are only some of the most fun (and spookiest) foods to prepare for witch-inspired parties! Whatever you cook for this exciting event, always remember to have a great time with it!
