A ghoulish day of creepy costumes and freaky food.
On most days I have two little princess running about the house, but for Halloween I had two little witches.
For the little witches of Easton, I made black and purple circle skirts, scary capes with stars and spooky spiders. They had stripy tights and ghoulish tops, and scary fang and blood face paints.
Before we left our witches cavern to go out and frighten the neighbors, we conjured up our fearsome dinner.
Whilst watching our favorite scary film ‘Coraline’, we tucked into our feast.
We had witches blood(blackcurrant squash), Witches fingers(sesame bread sticks with 1/2 a black olive stuck on the end with a little cream cheese, for the nail), and sliced witches brain and blood on pizza(pepperoni pizza with ketchup).
For our terrifying pudding, I had dug up some ghost graves from the local cemetery and served them in little pots.
If you don’t have a cemetery near you, you can make a pretend one using some jelly, jelly sweets, crushed oreo biscuits, half a banana and some writing icing.
I put some gaffer tape over the holes on the bottom of the pots, to stop any jelly escaping.
Crushed up some oreo biscuits in a bag with a rolling-pin, and then sprinkled a layer in the bottom.
I had ghoulish green jelly, which I poured in almost to the top, and added the jelly sweets. The biscuit and sweets float inside the jelly to give it texture and crunch all the way through.
I popped them in the fridge to cool for about 1 hour.
Once the jelly was set, I sprinkled more crushed biscuits on top to look like soil and added half a banana with a ghost face, on top. I used a cocktail stick pushed 1/2 way into the banana, and then into the jelly to keep it standing up straight.
We then headed out into the dark to meet our other witchy friends, for some trick or treating.
AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! A ghost!
