Fun Halloween Recipes

I saw this today on Facebook.  It's so seriously disgusting, but also awesome.  How often do you say that?  Only around Halloween, my friends.
 

BRAINS IN A JAR

 

 

 
I also found some Candy Corn Cupcake Trifles on Tablespoon, which are somewhat similarly made, but I must say, a lot more appetizing.  So for those of you not wishing to gross out your guests, here is the recipe:

Finally, I saw these seriously cute cupcakes the other day on Skinnytaste, another favorite food blog.  So if you're looking for a cute Halloween treat that isn't so bad on the waistline, check out these:

 

Spooky Spider Cupcakes

 

 

Enjoy!

 



Cupcakes!!!

Just wanted to share some cupcake ideas that I found while wandering around the internet.  These would all make great birthday cake alternatives for your child's party.  Cupcakes are so much easier to serve and clean up after.  They might even inspire a theme for you!  

Dr Seuss Cupcakes

Farm Animal Cupcakes

Cowboy Cupcakes

Robot Cupcakes

Jungle Safari Cupcakes

Paris Party Cupcakes

Garden Flower Cupcakes

Owl Cupcakes

Hawaiian Luau Cupcakes

Circus Cupcakes

Halloween Pumpkin Cupcakes

Of course, if you don't have the time or inclination to make or purchase these kind of cupcakes, cupcake toppers are always a great option!  They are easy to use, and although I love the look of the cupcakes I posted above, a lot of them use fondant and I'm not a big fan of the taste of fondant.

Happy partying!

Halloween Party Ideas

Halloween is almost upon us! I've been seeing a lot of cool ideas for Halloween party recipes on the internet lately, and I'd like to share a few of them with you. The first one has a certain WOW factor going for it. Your guests will most certainly be impressed by these Glowing Eyeball Jelly Shots!! (I would be anyway)

 

Recipe and directions are here on "Rock UR Party", a division of Tablespoon, which is one of my favorite food/recipe sites: Glowing Eyeball Jelly Shot Recipe
 
Apparently, they glow under blacklight due to the use of tonic water. Who knew?
 
Here is another take on glow in the dark party food: Glow In The Dark Cupcakes.  These look like they are a little more difficult to make, but what fun!
 

 

 

And here is one more recipe, which is slightly less difficult: Halloween Chex® Mix.  Forgive me, dear reader, but I have always loved Chex® Mix. I don't care how pedestrian that makes me sound, I LOVE IT.  I also love candy corn, so create a sweet Chex® Mix, then throw in some candy corn?  You can count me in!  I also like how it uses those little Halloween candy decors.  I have a jar of little pumpkin and bat decors that I haven't figured out what to do with yet (but they were too cute not to buy), so I think I'll be using them for this!

 

 

Anyway, here is the recipe: http://www.tablespoon.com/recipes/halloween-chex-mix/1/

 

And finally, this is not a recipe, but on King Arthur Flour, I found these awesome beaker cookie cutters. 

 

 

 

You could get really creative with these, I'm sure!

 

And just to keep you updated, there are several Halloween invitations and cupcake toppers in my Pixels and Posies Etsy shop right now.  Please feel free to take a look around!
