Halloween is the one time of year where you want your refreshments to look absolutely ghastly

Putrid Punch

A big bowl of punch is the perfect prop for gory and ghastly Halloween trickery. There are lots of ways to make your party punch extra eerie!

Make a slime ring from green punch.

* Freeze green punch in a gelatin mold along with plastic bugs, spiders and eyeballs. And place a few small glow sticks underneath the punch bowl: when the lights are turned down, the brew will radiate in a mysterious and unearthly fashion.

Float life-size zombie hands made from ice.

* Buy a couple of latex or rubber gloves. Wash them thoroughly with dish soap and turn them inside out. Carefully pour in water. Fasten tightly at the wrist with a rubber band.
* The shape will turn out best if you hang the gloves, fingers down, from your freezer shelf. Plan to freeze your uncanny hands for at least one full day.
* When it’s party time, run warm water over the gloves very briefly–just long enough to loosen the gloves from the ice–and carefully peel them off the frozen hands. The ice fingers break off easily, but that’s okay–the disembodied digits just add to the “zombie” effect.

Turn your punchbowl into a steamy, smoky witch’s cauldron.

* Nothing makes a party spookier than an ominous witch’s brew. First, visit your local supermarket’s fresh fish counter and ask if they carry dry ice; if they don’t, they may be able to tell you where you can purchase some.
* Mix up a punch of your favorite fruit juices in a large bowl and place it inside an even larger bowl, pot or cauldron. Throw on your best witch or warlock costume and add (using tongs or extra-heavy-duty gloves) chunks of dry ice to the bigger container. This allows you to create that delightful creeping mist without putting dry ice directly into the punch, which can be extremely dangerous. When you’re ready to create some magic, simply pour some hot water over the dry ice. Continue to add hot water and dry ice as needed.

Note: Never ingest dry ice! Be very careful when using dry ice. Always keep it out of reach of children and never touch it with bare skin; use tongs or extra-heavy-duty gloves.

Quite a spooky sight!!

Your Halloween Party guests will be very impressed with a banquet table filled with a tasty assortment of Halloween foods.

Basically you have 3 options for your Halloween Party Food.

1. Making your own food and treats is fun and can be very fulfilling when you see the pleasure your home made goodies bring to your friends and family.
2. Although not so impressive as home made, buying some or all ready made food and treats for the party can save you a lot of time.
3. If your party is last minute, or if you have no time to prepare food, you can always have an outside catering company come to prepare your food, although this is obviously a more expensive option.

Give yourself plenty of time for planning your Halloween Party Food and Drinks. Plan the menu and write a list of everything you will need.

Home cooked food should be made as close to the party as possible so that is is super fresh.

Party guests always get hungry, so be sure to have plenty of food and drinks to offer your guests.

Remember that the presentation and appearance is just as important as the food itself.

Your guests may expect to see the following goodies on your Halloween table:-

Cakes and Cupcakes

Pumpkin Pie, topped with whipped cream

Halloween Decorated Cookies

Caramel or Candy Covered Apples

Halloween Candy (store bought or homemade)

Spooky  Jell-O Molds

Caramel Corn or Rice Crispy Treats

Try these  tasty Halloween Recipes and more HERE to thrill your guests with your imaginative food ideas.
