Hallowe'en Treats
Well it's my favourite time of year again, the countryside is awash with
beautiful colours, the air is clean and crisp and All Hallows' Eve is almost
upon us. I'd like to think of Hallowe'en as a a great time for children, why not
celebrate it with a party, and this fun pumpkin cake as the centre piece. I
bought the baking pan in Aldi, at the start
of October, there was the choice of this or a skeleton's head, I decided on this
one, although I think that next year, a bloody, decapitated skull cake will be
on the top of the party food list!!
These easy party apple pops are an alternative to the traditional toffee apples.
I love to dot these around the party table, the surprise on the children's faces
when they realise that it's apple (or pear if you prefer) is priceless. It's
hasn't stopped anyone yet eating the lot and begging for more!
Boooo! These are frighteningly tasty (sorry!), what's not to like, creamy ice
cream and chocolate! Well they certainly go down a treat in this house, with
children and adults. I usually make them in advance which makes them the perfect
party food. Older children could easily make these, perhaps they might need some
help melting the chocolate.
These are delicious, light and crisp. I have been making these for years now and they always mean the start of Hallowe'en in this house. They are a perfect activity of children, as the dough won't get tough even as it's shaped and reshaped. My son also loves to make skulls from the dough, marking out the eyes and mouth with small chocolate chips. Tasty and scary!!!
