🎃👻🎃Halloween Magic 🎃👻🎃~ This newsletter is being written as I sit in a small hotel in Madrid,
that Ernest Hemingway stayed in while he wrote "The Sun Also Rises". While I probably should be using this time to
expound on the glories of the Tapas and Sangria I've enjoyed on this trip, Halloween is next week, so I think I'll stick to my original plan of talking about Halloween foods. Tapas can wait. Â I've included a video of how to make Skeleton Cookie Pops - these are really easy, and as they are essentially Oreos covered in white chocolate, they will be a hit with almost everyone. Â The coupon this week is for a discount on Cestari's Cake Pop sticks, which are strong enough to support the weight of the dipped cookies. Â We're all short on time. Â The article below will help you prepare a simple Halloween spread, so you can get your little ghouls and goblins in the mood fast. Â Best, Susan

Keep it Simple, But on Theme  Don’t feel like you need to create complicated recipes for Halloween. Even simple dishes like mini sandwiches or fruit skewers can be transformed with a few Halloween-themed decorations, such as olive "eyeballs" or cheese shaped like pumpkins. The key is to use familiar foods and give them a fun, spooky twist that delights both kids and adults.
Simple Halloween Foods for a Spook-tacular Celebration  When it comes to Halloween, creating themed foods doesn’t have to be complicated. With just a few simple ingredients and a dash of
creativity, you can prepare crowd-pleasing treats that delight both kids and adults. Here are a few easy ideas to inspire your Halloween menu. Mummy Hot Dogs
This spooky twist on a classic snack is always a hit. Wrap pre-made crescent roll dough around hot dogs, leaving a small gap for "eyes." After baking, add dots of mustard or ketchup for eyes. These mummies are not only adorable but also easy to make ahead for parties. Witch's Fingers
Turn breadsticks into eerie witch fingers by shaping the dough into finger shapes and pressing an almond slice at the tip for a "fingernail." Brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with a
little garlic powder before baking. These savory snacks are perfect for dipping in a blood-red marinara sauce! Ghostly Fruit Cups
For a healthier option, try creating ghostly fruit cups. Peel tangerines and place a small piece of celery in the top to make mini "pumpkins." For a fun touch,
serve them alongside bananas decorated with chocolate chips to resemble ghosts. These spooky snacks are a great way to incorporate fruit into your Halloween spread. Spooky Deviled Eggs
Give a classic appetizer a Halloween twist by making "spider" deviled eggs. Prepare deviled eggs as usual,
then slice black olives in half to create the spider body, and cut additional slices into strips for the legs. These creepy crawlers are sure to grab attention at any Halloween gathering. Monster Popcorn Balls
For a sweet treat, monster popcorn balls are easy to make. Combine popped popcorn
with melted marshmallows, form them into balls, and decorate with candy eyeballs or colored sprinkles. These sticky, sweet treats are a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit.

Susan from Frisco, Texas shares, "For a healthier Halloween treat, I make ghost-shaped bananas by dipping them in yogurt and freezing them. The kids love decorating them with little chocolate chip 'eyes' and
'mouths'!" Linda from Nampa, Idaho notes, "I’ve found that spooky fruit platters are a hit at Halloween parties. I arrange orange slices to look like pumpkins and use blackberries for 'spider legs' to create a ghoulish spread." Karen from Hendersonville, Tennessee suggests,
"For Halloween parties, I make 'witches’ fingers' using pretzel rods dipped in green chocolate, with almond slivers for nails. They’re quick, easy, and always a hit!" Mary from New Braunfels, Texas explains, "I turn ordinary rice crispy treats into spooky 'monster bars' by
adding food coloring and candy eyes. You can even shape them into different Halloween creatures for extra fun!" Lisa from Lebanon, Tennessee remarks, "I freeze red fruit punch into ice cubes and drop them into drinks for a 'bloody' effect. It's an easy way to add a spooky
surprise to any Halloween beverage!" |
