Homely Halloween Happiness

Most people who know me in real life will be more than aware that I am not a massive fan of Halloween, I hate trick or treating and I think that part of Halloween has overshadowed anything else when I think of it. 

This year however I have decided that we are going to have some form of Halloween but more a scary tea time, some ghoulish foods, family time and all in the safe warm house with no knocking on doors and all when it was convenient for us! 

So with no real idea of what I was doing a little divine internet inspiration I decided that since I am not the best creator that I could just wing it! 

With help from Beth we knocked up these guys:
Homely Halloween Happiness The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseWe made these with skewers, grapes and white chocolate with some icing used for eyes. 

Homely Halloween Happiness The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseNext on the list we created Garish Grins, for this we used Warburtons half and half bread, tomato puree and then cheese slices with a face cut out and then toasted. 

The Witches Fingers were very similar although for these we used the Warburtons the half and half thins and the fingernail we used red peppers.

The Gruesome Ghouls are strawberry’s dunked into melted white chocolate, cooled and then drawn on with an icing pen. Creepy Cats are Orea biscuits, with Smarties and chocolate drops stuck on.

There where so many other things we had  a go at from bloody fingers to rotten grins and monster boils! 
Homely Halloween Happiness The Oliver\\\'s MadhouseI think for me this may have been the epiphany I needed to maybe start liking Halloween … You wont be catching me out trick or treating on Friday but that’s because I have maggots to eat! 

Are you planning anything for Halloween?

    I have to say that food looks fab Jaime! Like you I’m not a fan of Trick or Treat at all! Call me a party pooper but it’s just not my bag at all! The boys aren’t keen to try either luckily!
