Halloween is a great time to host a kid’s party. After all, what child doesn’t like Halloween? One of the most enjoyable aspects of Halloween is the food. There are hundreds of recipes that have been specifically created for this spooky holiday. The following ideas will help you plan the yummiest menu possible.

Serve a minimum of sweet treats. You don’t want your guests suffering from ‘sugar overload’ during the party. To celebrate the occasion, serve chicken fingers with a blood (any red dipping sauce.) If you prepare them from scratch, it’s not hard to make them resembling the more human variety. Add a sliced almond for the finger nail for a realistic approach.

Another dish to try is to add equal parts red, blue, and yellow food color to spaghetti after it’s been cooked so it turns an ugly brownish color. Serve with a green pesto sauce and call it snakes in the swamp.

Make goofy eyeball meatballs. Shape seasoned ground meat into an oval with a flat top and bottom, bake until done. Cut a round circle out of mozzarella cheese about the size of a half dollar or one inch in diameter. Cut grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes into three slices. Cut black olives in half. Assemble the goofy eyeballs by placing a slice of cheese on the meatball, then a slice of tomato on the cheese and top with a black olive half. Vary the placement of the toppings so the eyeballs are looking in different directions.

If you will be serving punch, why not serve the ghoulish variety? Simply make your favorite punch and add a few ghoul hands. To make these hands, fill non-powdered rubber gloves with cranberry or other red juice. (Don’t overfill, the fingers of the glove should still move easily.)
Close gloves tightly with rubber bands and freeze flat on cookie sheets, which have been lined with paper towels. When ready to serve, open gloves with scissors and add to punch. You may want to break off one or two fingers and add them separately.

A fun punch can be with one quart of lime drink, one quart of lemon lime soda and one cup of lime sherbet. The sherbet should be added right before serving. Stir so the sherbet foams up a bit with the soda. Dust the foam lightly with cocoa powder to resemble dirt.

It’s not a good idea to use dry ice in your punch to make it smoke. Curious hands may try to touch the dry ice resulting in freezer burn. Instead place the dry ice in containers out of reach, such as the back of a table and you’ll still have the atmosphere of the smoky fog without the worry of accidents.

Keep the food simple and familiar but with a twist. Rename favorites in the Halloween theme. Use food coloring in blues, greens, and browns to alter the way a dish looks. Or use familiar food in unfamiliar ways. For example blanch a cauliflower head, break apart and then reassemble (this makes the cauliflower easier to serve) cover the cauliflower with ranch dressing then using ketchup in a squeeze bottle outline each floret with the ketchup so it looks like a brain.

Have fun with your food at Halloween.

This fall, many individuals will be in the market for ideas on creative adult Halloween games. When we think about Halloween, we mostly think about all the little kids in their cute little costumes, going door to door with their precious little pumpkins gathering candy. However, as time progresses, many adults are starting to engage in the festivities and activities of this ever-popular holiday.

I mean, we adults like to play too, right? Here, I will share with you some creative adult Halloween game ideas that adults can participate in this Halloween. As always, when seeking out creative adult games for this particular holiday, it is important to keep safety as a first consideration. As long as you keep safety as a strong consideration, you are sure to have a lot of fun this Halloween!

One of the first adult Halloween games that are growing in popularity is “Halloween Idol”. This game works much like the ever-popular talent show, “American Idol”. Contestants simply choose a talent – singing, dancing, etc. Then, they can be judged on a number of things – like song choice, costume, dance, originality, etc….Once the winner is picked, various types of awards can be issued.

You may choose to give gift cards to local stores, pumpkins full of candy, and a wide assortment of other gifts. The next adult Halloween game that you may elect to play on Halloween may be a homemade version of Ghost Hunters. This can be a relatively exciting game – especially for those who are big on the television show.

You can set this up in a makeshift haunted house, or simply get your city to give you permission to use a local graveyard. If there is an area that is reputed to be “haunted” in your area, check with the owner of that area to see if you can “ghost hunt” in it.

When choosing games for adults this Halloween, it is important to consider the individuals that will be coming to your party. You should consider how many guests that you have, as well as how many kids will be at the party as well.

You should also consider the hours that you will be celebrating and whether or not you will be allowing alcohol at the festivities. There are some games that may not be appropriate if alcohol will be served. Once you have made these determinations, it will be easy to select creative adult Halloween games!
