Stuffed Black Widow Eggs
People instinctively dislike spiders, especially if they are greasy, furry and black. Well, on Halloween night you have to fist disgust and taste the "Black Widow" to taste.
For cooking you will need:
- eggs - take 6 pieces;
- mayonnaise - enough a couple of tablespoons;
- canned tuna - enough 50 grams;
- olives (black and pitted) - 12 berries.
Hard boiled eggs. Cut along and free the halves from the yolks, folding them into a separate rather deep bowl.
Add the fish (pre-mashed with a fork) and mayonnaise to the yolks.
Fill the egg "cups" with minced meat.
We make olive parts for spiders. Cut each berry in half. One half is “seated” on all eggs with minced meat (this is the calf), the rest is chopped (once along and each fragment into four parts, but across) so that paws can be added to the torso bodies.
The recipe is easy, but very effective. And the good thing is that
minced meat can be prepared from any suitable product.
Sausages in the test, or "Invasion of mummies"
"Mummies" also refer to simple recipes, which, nevertheless, look great on a Halloween table.The role of sinister monsters will be played by sausages.
We will make mummies from:
- sausages - take 8 pieces;
- puff pastry (for speed and convenience we use magazine) - one sheet;
- eggs - also one;
- black pepper peas - count 16 pieces.
Roll out the dough thinner and turn it into ribbons about 2 centimeters wide. Free the sausages from the film. Instead, there will be another “clothing” - strips of dough, wrapped vertically around the sausage. We make so that from one end of the "fabric" peeking "head".
Raw sausages wrapped in dough, grease with egg yolk. Now they must go to the oven, roasted to 1800C. Once the dough is gilded, peppercorn eyes can be removed and inserted.
Witch Blood Drink
Of course, the kids relate to Halloween with special enthusiasm: the explosive mixture of fun and horror cannot but attract tricks. Drinks and Halloween dishes for children will help to make the holiday feel full. For example, the scarlet "Witch's Blood." It is based on the tomato soup "Gaspacho", popular in Spain. What foods are needed to create hot witch blood?
- Tomatoes (needed with very juicy pulp) - two fruits.
- Tomato juice - enough for 150 grams.
- Tabasco sauce (can be replaced with any other, if only it was spicy) - ½ teaspoon.
- Olive oil - 50 grams.
- Basil - as much.
- Salt - focus on your taste.
Then everything is simple. Especially if you have a blender on hand. Put all our ingredients in his bowl, turn on the device, and - here it is! Witch Blood is ready! Heat it over low heat, pour it into glasses.
It remains to pour a few drops of oil on top, put a leaf of basil. And invite the kids to eat warm drinks.
Chocolate Mousse with Worms
Real worms in the ground on a plate as a dessert? Why not? Scare the baby, so scare! Moreover, they themselves really want this, and everything looks very natural.
Will be needed for mousse:
- eggs - take three pieces;
- chocolate (black only) - at least 300 grams;
- cream (the fatter the better) - 400 grams is enough;
- icing sugar - 150 grams;
- cocoa powder (choose sweet) - enough to simulate the earth.
Beat eggs with powdered sugar. In the process, the mixture should acquire a white color and grow in volume.
We do the same with cream - until elastic foam is obtained.
We send chocolate to a water bath. As it melts, leave to cool.
Foamed cream and egg mixture are combined into one. Pour chocolate there and mix to give the mass one color. Now pour into the bowls and remove the mousse in the refrigerator. He must stand there for at least three hours.
“Digging” worms in advance. They need:
- jelly (pink or purple);
- water.
Jelly bred in hot water. The package indicates the required volume, but
for worms we take one and a half times less than recommended.
Cut the cocktail straws in half and place them tightly in a glass. Pour jelly in them and determine in the refrigerator. When the product has spent about eight hours in the cold, you can get the straws out and hold it under the tap of hot water: the contents can easily be squeezed out. A couple more hours in the refrigerator, and picturesquely lay out the worms in a bowl with mousse on top of the “ground” made of cocoa powder.
Poison Potion Soup
Of course, there will be pumpkin dishes on your table. In Halloween, you can’t do without them. Try to make something new, for example, "Poison Potion". Dine with such a soup is very tasty, and it is prepared simply. Ask your children to decorate the dish.

In a pan, put chopped tomatoes and beans (washed in a colander with hot water). There we send somewhere around 300 grams of water and garlic, passed through a garlic press. All this needs to be cooked for 30 minutes, without removing the lid, over low heat.
Remove from the stove, squeeze citrus juice into a saucepan and season the chili soup with salt and black pepper. It should be so thick that the “eyes” from “Mozzarella” with the “irises” from green olives and the “pupils” from pieces of black do not sink in the plate.
From the remains of olives and rosemary we construct spiders and decorate the soup, planting them on the edge of the plate.

The remaining oil, basil, garlic and nuts are crushed in a mortar: a uniform consistency is needed. The result was Pesto sauce. We send it to the chicken and after 10 minutes remove the pan from the stove.

And also add oil (before that, it is better for him to lie on the table and warm up). Knead the dough, again, with your hands. Roll the smooth mass into a gingerbread box, sprinkle with flour and leave it to rest under a damp towel for 3-4 hours.
We will not sort cabbage into inflorescences. For a complete impression, we need a whole head of cabbage. We remove only the extra side leaves. Season the heads with salt and pepper and steam for half an hour. While the future brain cools, we cut the slices of cheese. And place them between cabbage inflorescences. Then we wrap the “head” with a rolled dough.
Let the half-cooked dish stand for 30 minutes on a baking sheet (its bottom should be slightly oiled) on the table. Then we grease the dough with the yolk extracted from the last egg, and send the “count brain” to the red-hot to 1600With the oven. After 20 minutes he is ready.

Scallops are the last to be added to the mouthwatering society. We fry them in advance, for half a minute on each side, in a second hot frying pan with oil. After a few minutes you can taste the delicious food.

Bake your fingers in deep-fried until 1800With the oven. Cookies will be ready in 20 minutes. We wait until it cools down and do a “manicure”. We draw a contour around the “nail” of melted chocolate (conveniently using a pastry syringe) and apply the “varnish” from the jam.
Table Setting Ideas
The creation of a "sinister" atmosphere can serve as themed table setting. The main thing is not to overdo it so that gatherings do not turn into a gloomy and squeamish event. Of course, Jack’s lantern from a real pumpkin should serve as the center of the table. Black napkins and black candles, contrasting yellow autumn leaves in vases, thematic accessories like napkin clothespins in the form of a toothy jaw of a vampire will come to the place. Jewelry in the form of cute spiders and bats will also come in handy. Such details can be made by ourselves from natural materials.
