This holiday is not so popular with us, but young people are adopting the tradition, albeit in a more simplified form: they organize costume parties with eerie decorations and no less eerie dishes. If you are the host of such a party and can not imagine what terribly interesting and terribly tasty to treat your guests, we offer interesting options for Halloween food - delicious and original in appearance.

The scariest food on Halloween

Could you just take and eat a human heart bleeding with blood? Or earthworms mired in the ground? Or maybe you would like a yellow python? And this is not the whole list of the scariest food that can be prepared for Halloween.

  • How do you like glasses for analyzing blood from raspberry syrup?
  • A very relevant dessert for this holiday will be an apple in caramel glaze, and you can decorate it with a poisoned fruit from the tale of Snow White.
  • The main thing for this holiday is themed decor. For example, you can cook any cake as a basis, and use mastic as a decoration, depicting sewn flaps of human skin with its help.
  • Fans of creepy dishes will surely like a sweet ear on a stick, or jelly in the form of a human eye. When cutting, imitation of blood must flow out of it (for example, berry jam).

Your imagination here is endless, the main thing is to have various food colors on hand and everything for decorating such dishes. Such "chips" are easy to buy in specialized stores. In the meantime, as you cook, we’ll show you how to make Halloween food as tasty as creepy.

Sweets and cookies for children

Will your children attend your party? This is not a problem, because they love bright and intricate sweets. They simply run their eyes from a large number of diverse, creative foods. For example, you can prepare the following dishes.

Cookies "Witch's Fingers"

  1. You will need to beat 150 g of butter or margarine with the same amount of sugar, adding one egg and additional protein to this mixture (leave the yolk).
  2. Then pour 350 g of flour and a pinch of salt to taste. Knead the dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  3. Next, divide it evenly into small slices, of which we make “sausages”.
  4. We form “fingers” from them, with the knife we ​​outline the phalanges.
  5. Cover the baking sheet with paper.
  6. We divide almonds into halves, dip each peeled half into the remaining yolk mass and fix it like a nail.
  7. Bake "fingers" will be 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
  8. Cooled cookies can also be decorated with blood streaks, using any jam or red jam for this.

Ghost Cupcakes

  1. We buy our favorite cupcakes at the supermarket, or we make them ourselves.
  2. Next you need to decorate them with white cream. You can cook it yourself: cottage cheese or cream cheese (1 standard pack of 200 - 250 g), beat with cream (about 100 ml) and pour in powdered sugar. By the amount of the latter, we focus on the density and taste of the cream.
  3. The finished composition through a confectionery syringe is planted on muffins, and “eyes” and “mouth” are made on them with chocolate drops or drops of chocolate.

Dessert "Earthworm"

  1. To make chocolate mousse, we drown chocolate in a water bath (300 g).
  2. Beat 3 chicken eggs with 150 g of powdered sugar until white and increase in volume.
  3. Beat the fattest confectionery cream in a volume of 400 ml until stable peaks and combine with the egg mixture. We carefully pour chocolate here, while stirring, bring the chocolate mousse to uniformity and pour it into beautiful glasses for desserts.
  4. We leave the treat to harden in the cold for 3 hours or more.
    For decoration, grind any chocolate chip cookies and sprinkle on top of the dessert, imitating the ground. Having bought jelly worms in the store, we finally decorate them with mousse.

Pumpkin Recipes

Pumpkin useful properties

The main symbol of Halloween is the Jack Lantern, made from pumpkin.

Such a character can decorate the room where the celebration will be held, and also it will be very symbolic to cook several dishes from the vegetable.

Pumpkin sweets in the oven

  1. We wash the pumpkin weighing 1–1.5 kg under running water and cut it into small slices without cleaning. We take out the pulp and seeds. We cut these slices again into portions - future sweets.
  2. We grease a baking sheet with oil and lay out our billets on it.
  3. Mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla. Sprinkle each piece of pumpkin with this mixture.
  4. Preheat the oven and send a treat there. Bake at 180 degrees 40 minutes.
  5. For glaze, 2 tablespoons of liquid honey are mixed with 10 - 15 pieces of any nuts (chopped). When serving, pour pumpkin sweets with honey dressing.

Pumpkin stew

  1. We prepare a “container” in which stew will be served. With a large round pumpkin, without peeling, we cut off the top, as if it were a lid.
  2. We take out all the loose insides of the pumpkin. Using a knife, carefully peel off the loose layer of the pumpkin itself, while the wall left untouched should not be thinner than 1 cm. The fruit must remain intact after processing, otherwise it will not hold the filling inside.
  3. For stew, we cut into small cubes the following ingredients: pork (1 kg), 2 young carrots, 2 onion heads and 3 sweet pepper pods. Slightly fry these ingredients in a pan.
  4. Then you need to mix, salt and pepper in a separate bowl. We transfer the ready-made vegetable mass to our pumpkin and send it to the oven to bake for at least an hour.
  1. When serving, pour “sour cream” into a “cauldron” and chop a bunch of fresh herbs.

Small pumpkins can replace one large pumpkin. It is convenient to serve stews or other dishes in portions.

Original Halloween Themed Food

The holiday is approaching, but you have not decided yet what will frighten the guests on your table? We offer you to familiarize yourself with the list of original dishes that will come in handy for dinner on this terrible night:

  • Fried hand. A hand silhouette is formed from the meat, and the onion will serve as nails on the fingers and the protruding head of the wrist bone.
  • Bitten fingers. The basis is sausages, the nail is replaced by almonds. Something like bites is formed along the sausage with a knife, after which the billets are baked in the oven. Traces of blood from bites imitate ketchup. Beautifully put the "fingers" on a plate and serve.
  • Cockroaches. The body of a cockroach will be replaced by dates. We remove the seeds from them, stick unsalted cheese inside. Paws are pine needles. We spread the finished snack on a plate and decorate it with artificial cockroaches in addition for greater realism.
  • Baked brains. Chicken fillet is scrolled through a meat grinder, peppered and salted. Then the resulting mass is simply baked in the oven. To simulate blood, you can use a dark thick sauce - soy, Teriyaki or barbecue.

These themed dishes will complement any Halloween table and will be the highlight of the evening. They are very easy to prepare, and most importantly, terribly tasty and very satisfying!

Cooking pizza

In the USA, not a single party can do without delicious pizza. We offer a recipe for a very unusual pizza, because both adults and children love it.

We will need:

  • basis for pizza (average) - 1 pc.;
  • tomato sauce - to taste;
  • "Mozzarella" (grated) - 2 tbsp .;
  • olives to taste;
  • pepper (red and yellow) - 1 pc.;

  2. Next, grease the resulting workpiece with olive oil and sauce, and then sprinkle with grated cheese.
  3. We start decorating our pizza, turn on the imagination. Eyes and nose can be cut from Pepperoni or olives, we form the mouth from pepper, making it in the form of bared skull teeth. Capers and multi-colored peppers, cut into strips, decorate pizza for greater brightness and festivity.

Pizza is baked at 180 degrees in literally 5 to 10 minutes. The dish is served hot. Bon Appetit!

Simple food for the holiday.

The ideal option at the party would be a buffet table. It’s quick and easy, and most importantly - eyes run wide when choosing dishes.

It may seem to guests that you stood at the stove all day to cook all this, but in fact, having prepared sweets and simple snacks, you will not spend too much time and energy. For example, you can easily execute:

  • Various sandwiches and canapes.
  • Spaghetti with meatballs from turkey. In the center, you can add chopped olives in rings, as if it were an iris of the eye.
  • Stuffed peppers. Before filling the pods, cut out the jack lamp from them.
  • Mashed potatoes - a fairly simple dish that can be diversified by serving in a pumpkin cleaned from the guts.

As you can see, even familiar, simple dishes can be interestingly interpreted as the theme of the holiday.

Halloween cakes

Here you can create anything you like, it’s enough to take any favorite cake as a basis and decorate it on the theme of Halloween.

The cake “Red Velvet” will become very bright and symbolic because of its juicy red color. On the basis of such a dessert, various eerie ideas can be quite interestingly presented.

  1. For example, we cover it with white cream on top and sides, “pierce” with the sharp end of the sugar glass, and simulate blood streaks with syrup or pomegranate juice.
  2. The second design option. We decorate the cake smeared with butter cream and decorate the birds cut out of black mastic. To make the figures, we roll out black mastic, cut out the birds with shapes or scissors and send them to freeze in the refrigerator. In the dessert covered with cream, make small holes so that the inner red crumb is visible. In these places we plant birds that supposedly “pecked” holes.

These are simple, but intricate ideas that can be easily implemented without much effort.
