Poltergeist Punch
To get the scariest looking punch you can, you will need cordial that will come out as a deep red, like blackcurrant, mixed berries or cherry. To get it even redder, you can always add some Grenadine afterwards. Add to that some lemon, lime, orange peel and even cinnamon sticks to give it a kick, and you’ve got some Poltergeist Punch.
Bone Sandwiches
Use white bread and cut out bone shapes using scissors. Then, go crazy with some frightful fillings! How about ham and lettuce, cheese and pickle or even jam to make it look as creepy as possible. Just remember to cut out plenty of bones!
Brain Dip
Hollow out a cauliflower floret using a sharp knife, making a big enough crevice to fit as much dip as possible. Then, choose your dip! Whether it’s a gruesome looking guacamole or scary salsa, make sure you buy, or make enough to go around the whole family.
Ghoulish Green Spaghetti
Boil spaghetti as normal, but combine peas, spinach, basil, pesto, parmesan and single cream in a bowl and blend into a sauce. Then, drain the water off the spaghetti and add the green sauce, and the sauce colouring should stick to the pasta. Leaving you with some very gruesome looking spaghetti!
Graveyard Cake
Either make a chocolate cake using traditional ingredients, or buy one pre-made if you feel like cheating! Melt chocolate in a bowl using the microwave or hob, and paint the molten chocolate over your favourite biscuits to use as gravestones. After leaving to dry, you can use white icing to write on RIP on your gravestones to make it look like a real graveyard. Then, simply arrange them over the cake.
