Scary Halloween food
The food that is prepared for the festive table should be really awesome. The whole effect of the holiday will simply disappear if you serve a regular cake, simple cookies, or an elementary salad.
It can be made from ordinary foods, but framed in the form of witches' fingers, spiders, ghosts, a bloodied heart, or something similar.
Great for making sweets for Halloween, mastic will do. From it you can dazzle anything. It is sold ready-made in pastry shops, or made at home.
The easiest way to make mastic is using marshmallows.
All that is needed is:
- marshmallows - about 200 g;
- icing sugar - half kg;
- some butter.
It is better to choose marshmallows plain. In this case, you can choose your own color, or use food coloring with ease.
We spread the sweetness in a special container in which it can be heated in the microwave. We put quite a bit of oil there. The volume should increase several times. Forty seconds is usually enough, but you can hold it longer.
Further, powdered sugar is gradually added to the resulting mass. If you need a specific color, you can add a dye. If several colors are needed, divide by the desired number of pieces and knead each separately. Gradually, mixing the powder with marshmallows, pour the powder on the table so that it does not stick to your hands. A homogeneous mass should be obtained without stains and bubbles. The process is lengthy, but worth it.
The resulting mastic must be wrapped in film and put on the floor for an hour to lie down. After, you can proceed to the figures.
From mastic you can fashion halloween-styled treats. It can be, for example, treats on wooden sticks. Frankenstein heads will look great. They are made of green, black, brown, white and red mastic. The bulk will be green, the head itself is molded from it. White needs just a little bit, since it is required only by sight. Red, you can make a scar on the forehead. Brown is suitable for hair and corks at ear level. You can be sure it will turn out amazing.
Mastic can decorate pastries. It can be cakes, pastries, cookies, etc., which, thanks to the imagination and a small amount of this sweet mass, will become truly awesome treats.
If there is absolutely no desire to cook - it does not matter! You can stock up on Monster Hands. Such a sweet present is being prepared quite quickly. To do this, take ready-made sweets (sweets, nuts, etc.) and put them in a plastic glove (like the ones in every supermarket, in the department of vegetables or bakery products). You need to tie your hand so that it is with air. To give a terrible atmosphere, you can put plastic spiders inside, or any other insects that can be found in toy stores.

Halloween cakes
Halloween desserts have their own place. It is important not only that they were tasty, but also suitable for the topic. Let's consider some interesting and not difficult options.
Naked cake with eyes
Naked cakes are treats whose cakes are not greased laterally. Very original and delicious. Korzhiki can be bought ready-made, or bake thin biscuits of small size.
For cream, it is easiest to use condensed milk and butter. To prepare for 250 ml of condensed milk, add a regular pack of oil, and beat everything with a mixer until smooth. Divide the cream by the number of cakes. Paint each part in different colors with food colors.
A white bar of chocolate is melted and filled into a confectionery syringe. Drop droplets on parchment, which then serve as eyes. While the drops are not frozen in the center, place a small amount of dark chocolate or nuts.
Lubricate each cake with a different cream color. On top of the cake, make rounded tubercles of different colors. Attach one or more to each. Also, the eyes can be placed in the thickness of the cream on smeared cakes.
Spider Web Cake
As usual, for cakes, you can use the usual biscuit recipe, with or without cocoa.
To decorate, you need to take:
- a couple of tablespoons of milk;
- 4 tablespoons of cocoa and sugar.
Without boiling, heat the mixture of the above ingredients. Place the icing in a pastry bag and draw a spiral on the surface of the cake. Then gently with a toothpick draw from the center to the edges of the line, forming a web.
Creepy Cake
To prepare such a treat, you need brownie cake, and the witch's fingers. How to cook fingers, we described above. We proceed to the preparation of the cake itself.
In 120 grams of flour, add a pinch of soda, vanillin and salt. In a separate metal container, mix 140 g of sugar, 2 tablespoons of cocoa and fill everything with water, cut into a glass for 3 quarters. We put on the fire and wait until it boils. Next, add a bar of chocolate, broken into pieces and a gram of 50 butter. All ingredients are boiled until dissolved and only then the egg is added. The resulting mass is poured into a mixture of flour. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.

For pouring, you can use icing or a melted bar of dark chocolate. We take out the brownie from the oven, insert the fingers of the witches into it, as if a hand is sticking out of the ground. Next, fill with glaze, and top with crumbs. This Halloween treat will surely please guests!
Party Snack Recipes
Snacks are the best way to keep guests hungry. Consider the most "terrible" of them.
Spiders.
Boil the eggs, cut into two parts and take out the yolks. Protein will serve as the basis, the yolk can be mixed with any ingredient, for example, processed cheese and garlic, or you can simply with mayonnaise. We take large pitted olives. Cut into two parts along. One half - the body of the spider, the second - is cut into strips for legs. Decorate the appetizer.
Spiders can also be made from ordinary spaghetti and olives.
Fruit snacks
For these goodies, it is enough to have a bunch of bananas, an apple and a kilogram of tangerines. We cut bananas into two parts. We put the wide side on the dish. Up closer to the crown, we make chocolate eyes. Banana ghosts are ready!
Tangerines will be great pumpkins. To do this, peel them, and in the middle we insert a strip of green apple. Such pumpkins will decorate any table.
