Halloween ideas

Thinking of new Halloween ideas each year can be a bit of a mare, traditionally the Americans do it best, but us Brits seem to be getting evermore betwitched by the calendar event. It is fast becoming yet another date where we need to think up alternative and whacky ideas to out spook our peers…

Even though we all love the classics like, Bobbing apples, pumpkin soup and pinning the wart the witch, there are loads of new ideas about to get involved with. We have listed a few of our faves…

Fruity ghosts – check out these strawberry ghosts, dead easy to make with just a dip of white chocolate and a dash of milk choc for the design, simple but the kids will love them. How to make them

Halloween tea – If the older kids have become a bit ‘too cool’ for all the spookiness, make an easy tea to get everyone in on the action. We think this eyeball pasta is perfect… or just make the eyeballs as a cheesy snack… the recipe
