A fun time of year for me. Growing up it was always so cold by October to go trick or treating.

Regardless of rain, sleet or snow, two pairs of pants, two pairs of socks, two sweaters, a coat, boots, and hat would save the day.


Nothing would stop me from going trick or treating.





Eyes were tearing from the snowflakes and winds, but all worth that one box of crackerjacks, or full-size candy bar, we waited for all year to get.


We always had our favorite house to stop at, and knew who gave out the "the best trick or treat candy".


Never had a worry in the world about things back in those good ole days, unfortunately, it's a little different now and we can't be too careful protecting our children.

Fun Memories



So these memories live on and we now can look forward to safe Halloweens in our homes. For the children the grandchildren and all the grownup kids in the world, I dedicate this post.



Hope you all take away something you like, they are all easy and fun to do.. Enjoy!!! and Happy Halloween to everyone !!!!!!



Entrance setups are huge, scary spider webs are the best, and use fishing lines to dangle spiders, bats, and other creepy rubber items.



I am a big fan of pirates, so my theme is to have my entrance set up with pirates everywhere.



Of course, I have a pirate that electronically makes scary noises when you walk by or is voice-activated.



Here are some of the fun foods "HOW TO" below from what's pictured above:



Mummies:



Creative and fun foods for a Halloween party Gravestone sandwiches, tangerine pumpkin fruit cups, apple peanut butter teeth, witches brew, mummy hotdogs, deviled egg eyeballs, donut eyeballs, dirt pies with worms, meatballs swimming in sauce faces, and English muffin faces



Hot dogs wrapped in strips of refrigerator dough, leave part of the top exposed for the face and bake... these at 400 till don't overcook. When cool, dot eyes with mustard drops, these are always a hit.



Eyeballs:




Powdered donut holes using blue frosting for the base of the eyeball and chocolate chip center for the eyeball, making red lines with piping gel for veins.



Spooky Teeth:

Two slices of green apples, Core the apple and cut into fourths. Cut a small wedge on the skin side of the apple. Brush with lemon juice or keep them soaking until you're done, so they won't get brown. Fill with peanut butter or my favorite, Nutella! then add mini marshmallows for teeth and squeeze them together. For a healthier snack add whole raw almonds instead of marshmallows.




Spider Cookies:





Make or buy chocolate cookies. Make a thin batch of white frosting, and using a fork, dip it in the frosting and make slashes of frosting in different directions on the cookies, add black piping or orange in the center to look like spiders.



Meatball eyes:

Serve fried meatballs on a plate swimming in sauce. On each center of the meatball, slice large pieces of green olive and place a solid piece of black olive in the center of the green for eyes they will stick on if you use a little grape jelly or honey as glue.



Graveyard sandwich:

Use pieces of dark sandwich bread, like wheat or pumpernickel, and cut the crusts off. Cut out the shape of gravestones with a sharp knife. Fill with egg salad, tuna salad or ham salad. Use mustard or mayo, ketchup with a nozzle to write scripts on the top bread such as RIP, Lon Gone, Cross and Skull, Al B Back, C. U. Later etc. You can arrange in a bed of shredded lettuce to stand up.



Broomsticks:




You can make broomsticks using refrigerator dough. Roll out a long handle for the broom and attach a small ball of dough to the bottom use a fork to make tine marks. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle these with Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder, and bake till set 10 to 15 minutes



Deviled egg eyeballs or Spiders:



Boil several eggs, take out the yolks add to a bowl, use a few drops of green food coloring add enough mayonnaise to make it easy to fill them back up. Add slices of black olives to the middle and a piece of red pepper to the center. On the long part of the white of the egg, make red streaks using ketchup from a nozzle tip.



Witches Brew:


Lime sherbet floating in a bowl of Lemon Lime Soda.



Pizza Ghoulish English Muffins:


Take English muffins, and toast them first. Add sauce mozzarella and broil just till melted. Make eyes out of black olives sliced, pepperoni centers. Slices of red pepper for the mouth.

Dirt Pie


Use Oreo cookie crust to fill the bottom of mini muffin tins lined with Halloween or orange paper liners. Fill with chocolate pudding and add a gummy worm cut in half to each.


Another option is to make boxed brownie mix into paper liners when cool melt chocolate on top. You can add the gummy worms to those also or leave them plain.


Scary Oranges

Slice off the top of the orange and scoop out the insides of the orange as you would a pumpkin. Cut out a face as you would a jack-o-lantern with scissors. Fill the orange with diced fruits or fluffy ambrosia fruit salad, making sure the fruit is popping out of the eyes.

Have fun.

  4. These treats are so adorable! You really don't know how much little ones love this stuff until you make it with them. My nephews and I made "Mummy Dogs" last night and they were laughing, screaming and giggling the whole time at their homemade grossness. They insisted on putting "blood" (actually ketchup) on the side. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes, as well as your childhood memories- :)
