Halloween treats are the most yummiest part of the holiday season. You, your children, friends and family can have an enjoyable Halloween activity while preparing your treats ahead of time, so you can later enjoy the festivities of trick or treating, bonfires and various masquerade or costume parties during this pleasurably mysterious autumn event. With your imagination and some helpful hints, you can create the ultimate Halloween treats.
Bobbing for apples is one of the simplest treats, while also creating and interestingly entertaining game for all ages. Simply get a large container to hold the water and washed apples. Outside is always the best place for this activity, however while inside you might cover the floor with plastic, such as a large garbage bag and you will need some plastic to drape over the individuals who are bobbing for apples and a couple of clothes pins to secure the drape. If you let the children play this early in the schedule, they will eat the apples, leaving little less room for the sugar sweets. Also, keep an adult close by for water safety reasons.
With clear glass containers or punch bowls, place a couple of small activated glow sticks into them and then add a clear soda of your choice and orange juice and maybe even some vanilla ice cream or orange sherbet, or even green or blue Kool-Aid, if you wish. When making a punch without ice cream or sherbet, you might like the ghostly wisp of visual effect of using dry ice. However, when using dry ice, remind your guests that dry ice cannot be ingested, as it will burn. Be careful in considering whether to serve dry ice to children. You can always place dry ice in a separate container of water in a plastic cauldron when entertaining children. Making creepy ice for the punch is easy when you use latex gloves or masks.
Creative Halloween cakes and cupcakes are always a hit. You can find special recipes to follow online, you will find there are many from which to choose. For instance, cakes can be decorated as ghosts, spiders and webs as well as any creepy character you can imagine for Halloween. When making cupcakes, include the children when it is time for decorating them and everyone will have a wonderful time preparing your Halloween treats.
When making cookies thick gelatins or finger sandwiches, use Halloween cookie cutters and molds and various colors for decorating. Use last years, plastic jack-o-lantern, trick or treat containers to hold any candy treats and place them in various locations. The old stand bys of mints, nuts, pretzels, chips and dips are ever faithful as party treats. Add a few drops of green or orange food coloring to the dip, if you like.
Perhaps you might get grossly creative and make some boogers on a stick by mixing green food coloring with cheese dip and then dipping one end of a pretzel stick for a creepy treat. Make chocolate spider treats by melting some chocolate chips or flavored almond bark and pouring it over some chow mien noodles. You might also enjoy making your own candy apples and caramel or cheese flavored popcorn for a pleasant Halloween treat. Homemade apple cider is good for washing all these treats down and remember that you can use left over pumpkin meat for making pumpkin bread, pies, muffins and even pumpkin soup. Very soon you'll be having the ultimate Halloween.
