I wish you happy Halloween!

I wish you crazy night!

Let’s put our costumes: monster, queen…

Let's go and joy tonight!

Good day, readers of the Rum Diary magazine! Costume parties and themed parties require special preparation, and this applies to our topic: drinks and snacks. The time for Halloween is approaching - a holiday that for some reason has become very popular in our latitudes. The question arises: what cocktails and snacks to prepare for Halloween, how to decorate them, how to create a “creepy” atmosphere with their help?

In this article we will try to collect as many Halloween snacks as possible with pumpkins, spiders, bones and other “nightmares”. It has been written about cocktails for a “bourgeois” holiday. Since we are talking specifically about snacks, there will be a minimum of cookies and muffins here.

Halloween Snack Recipes

Snake

If you are planning a “beer and hot dogs” style party, then a hod dog in the shape of a snake will fit perfectly into the concept. Of course, finding a curved bun is problematic, so the easiest way is to bake it yourself (you can buy the dough or make it yourself). As usual, the filling is to your liking; you can decorate the top with multi-colored bell peppers, cut into strips. We make eyes from green olives, add a drop of ketchup inside the olives, and secure with toothpicks. At the front we make a mouth for the snake and stick a long forked tongue made of bell pepper. By the way, you can make preparations for such sandwiches in advance, and before the party, simply heat them in the oven and then immediately decorate them.

Witch's broom

Easy Halloween Broom Snack:

• Salty sticks (can be bought at almost any kiosk);
• Hard cheese or sandwich cheese (square);
• Green onions

If we take regular hard cheese (you need a plastic one that won’t crumble), then first you need to cut it into thin squares, and then make cuts on one side without cutting all the way through. Wrap it around a stick and tie it with green onions!

By the way, you can make a simplified version - break dark salty sticks into small pieces and tie them with green onions to lighter-colored sticks. Done 😉

Spiders

Cold egg snacks are a classic, and if decorated a certain way, they make a great Halloween snack! Boil the eggs, cut into two parts, remove the yolk. After this, mix the yolk with any other ingredients as desired: mayonnaise, cheese, garlic, sauce, fish, meat, etc. Fill the egg halves with the resulting mass and decorate the top with olive spiders.

Pizza "Mummy" on buns"

Many who have cooked for Halloween know that the main thing is to decorate correctly. It practically doesn’t matter what ingredients the appetizer will be prepared from; what’s more important is to give it a “festive” look. For example, a properly decorated pizza can be an excellent snack for beer and will help create an ambience.

You can decorate it like a large pizza (ingredients at your discretion) or small buns, which are pre-cut in half. Below is tomato paste, at the level of the “eyes” - circles of black olives with a “pupil” of bell pepper, green beans or green olives, on top - cheese, laid out in strips over the entire surface, except for the “eyes”. You can prepare it in advance by placing it in the oven or microwave before serving.

You can also make mummy toasts, mummy sausages, etc. A few ideas in photos:

Ripe “pumpkin” made from cheese

An excellent snack for beer and various cocktails for Halloween. You can serve cheese pumpkin with bread, chips, nachos, toast, as well as salty cookies, which I will write about below. Additionally - delicate white sauces if desired.

So, take 100 grams of soft goat cheese, a package of cream cheese (Philadelphia or a more inexpensive analogue), 250 grams of cheddar (or other sharp cheese), some chopped green onions, garlic powder, oregano and grind it all in a blender until smooth.

We give the resulting mass the shape of a ball and make hollows to resemble a pumpkin. The tail can be made from a straw, a piece of pretzel or something similar you have on hand, and the leaf can be made from a sprig of parsley.

Cheese pumpkin balls

Another delicious cheese appetizer with a pumpkin theme is these little paprika pumpkins. For them you will need a glass of grated cheddar, a package of cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, roasted red pepper (a few tablespoons). Mix these ingredients and cool for 2 hours, after which we roll the resulting mass into balls, roll them in paprika, and make cuts to resemble a pumpkin. The appetizer is placed on crackers; we use a sprig of green onion as a tail.

Cookies "Witch's fingers"

It’s interesting that almost the main thing in Halloween snacks is their form, but you can do with the content at your discretion. Cookies can be made sweet or salty, with the addition of spices (and served with sauces), or with spices (and served with jam, preferably red 😉).

Sweet cookie recipe:

Beat 150 grams of butter along with 200 grams of sugar and vanilla. Beat for about five minutes, then add the egg. Add salt, baking powder (1 tsp) and flour (about 350 grams). Knead the dough until it is quite firm and not too sticky. Place the dough in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Then we form long pieces in the shape of fingers from small pieces of dough, use a knife or other convenient object to make “folds” on the “phalanxes”, grease with melted chocolate and press in a “nail” - almonds, peanuts or other nail-like nuts. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degrees.

Cookies "Bones"

If you don’t want to bother with dough, you can buy ready-made yeast dough in the store and make cookies of different thematic shapes from it. Divide the dough into small pieces, form them into stones, sprinkle with rosemary and coarse sea salt. If you want to make sweet ones, then powdered sugar will come in handy, which you can sprinkle on the “bones” after baking (by the way, you need to bake until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes). The bones can be lightly sprinkled with cheese.

Halloween is coming! An eerie and at the same time fun holiday that children look forward to. A living fairy tale about a black hand in a black room, which is located in the farthest corner of a black house... If your apartment this time will be a haven for witches, ghouls and ghouls, it’s time to provide the appropriate surroundings and quietly retire to a calmer (or, conversely, more creepy?) place. And don't forget to prepare plenty of food for the little evil spirits!

There is no need to invent any special children's dishes for Halloween - appearance is important here. What scope for imagination - here you have cut off sausage fingers, and spaghetti worms, and creepy eyes made of eggs, and cakes in the form of coffins... Do not skimp on tomato blood, paint your usual dishes in creepy colors, just don’t overdo it - especially impressionable ones Children may then refuse pasta or sausage dishes for a long time.

Pinched Fingers Sandwiches

Ingredients:
6 sandwich buns,
6 sausages,
bright red ketchup, mayonnaise.

Preparation:
Cut the sausages in half and cut each half lengthwise. Fry in vegetable oil. Cut the buns in half lengthwise, put 4 “fingers” in each, pour ketchup on them and cover with the top half of the bun. Use mayonnaise to paint your nails. Place the buns on a baking sheet and place in a hot oven to warm up.

To prepare this delicacy you will need not only ingredients, but also carving skills. Using scissors, cut out bat wings from sheets of thin pita bread. In principle, you are not required to be particularly precise, but the wings should be recognizable. Dilute salt and your favorite spices to taste in olive oil, brush the wings with the aromatic mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Place it in a hot oven for 3-5 minutes, making sure that the wings do not burn, but remain rosy and crispy.

Salad in pita “Monster Face”. Cut the pita buns in half crosswise. Place a leaf of lettuce into each bun, turning it outward - this will be the tongue of the future monster. Fill the pita with any salad, a little heaping. Sprinkle with grated hard cheese, place two halves of olives (eyes) and a triangle of sweet red or orange pepper (nose).

Ingredients:
12 sausages,
1 layer of ready-made puff pastry,
ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise.

Preparation:
Roll out the defrosted puff pastry into a thin layer and cut into strips. Swaddle each sausage like a mummy, making a thickening where the mummy's arms are hidden and leaving the "head" uncovered. Place in a hot oven for 12-15 minutes, baking until golden brown. On the free part of the sausage, draw eyes, nose and mouth with ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard.

Another delicious option for preparing children's dishes for Halloween. Grease lightly dried toast with butter and place a piece of ham. Make eyes from rings of olives or olives, and from thin semicircular strips of sweet pepper - a mouth open in a terrible scream. Cut thin slices of light-colored processed cheese into strips and place them, imitating bandages and partially covering the eyes and mouth.

Cutlets “Eyes of Dracula”

Ingredients:
400 g minced meat,
1 onion,
50 ml milk,
1 slice of stale wheat bread,
1 raw egg,
3 boiled eggs,
3 pitted olives
6 slices of light-colored processed cheese,
ketchup.

Preparation:
Mix the minced meat with chopped onion, bread soaked in milk and a raw egg. Salt and pepper. Roll 6 cutlets and place them in a pan greased with vegetable oil. Place to bake for 30-35 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the boiled eggs in half crosswise, and also cut the olives crosswise. Make a well in the top of the eggs and place the olive, cut side up. Add ketchup to the cut or place a piece of red bell pepper. Remove the cutlets from the oven, cover each with a slice of cheese and place the egg cut side down on top. Return pan to oven and bake until cheese is melted. Pour ketchup over the cheese, simulating bloody veins.

Ingredients:
1 package of ready-made puff pastry,
2 boiled chicken breasts,
1 stack grated hard cheese,
½ cup tomato sauce or ketchup,
1 stack boiled small horns,
olives, red bell pepper.

Preparation:
Cut circles the size of tea saucers from the puff pastry. Pour sauce or ketchup, add finely chopped chicken breast, sprinkle with cheese. Make “hair” from pasta, eyes from olive halves, and an open mouth from strips of red pepper. Pour ketchup, simulating bloody streaks, and place in a hot oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.

"Tarantula Spider"

Ingredients:
1 kg of ready-made pizza dough,
1 egg
1 olive
1 stack bright red ketchup,
½ cup grated hard cheese,
poppy - for rolling.

Preparation:
Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll one part into a ball - the body of the spider. Divide the second part into 2 more parts and from one roll another ball - the head of a spider. Roll out 8 sausages from the remaining dough - these will be the legs of the spider. Roll the sausages in poppy seeds. Fold the spider, attaching the head and legs to the body, sprinkle with cheese. Cut the olive and make the eyes. Bake at 190ºC for 25-30 minutes. Place the finished spider on a flat dish, cut off the upper part of the body and remove the flesh. Pour ketchup into the resulting well. Tear off the spider's legs and dip them in the sauce.
The main dishes for children on Halloween are, of course, sweets. Prepare familiar cookies and cakes in an unusual form.

Ingredients:
3 stacks flour,
1 egg
150 g butter,
5 tbsp. Sahara,
4 tbsp. milk,
almonds - for decoration.

Preparation:
Melt the butter, add sugar, milk and egg, beat with a mixer. Add flour in small portions while kneading the dough. Cut it into small pieces, roll it out into finger shapes and place it on a baking sheet. Place almonds on the tips of your “fingers”, unpeeled for extra spookiness, brush with yolk, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 25 minutes at 180ºC.

Ingredients:
150 g butter,
75 g powdered sugar,
1 yolk,
225 g flour,
1 tbsp. cocoa,
a pinch of salt,
protein glaze - for decoration.

Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Do not add water or milk, even if the dough crumbles at first. Place the finished dough in a plastic bag and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then roll out the dough into a layer 0.5 cm thick and cut out cookies in the form of figures of people and animals. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and place in an oven preheated to 200ºC for 10 minutes. On the cooled cookies, using a cornet with glaze, apply thin lines in the form of skeletal bones (rather conventionally, of course!).

Creepy bloody eyes on a plate. For sweet horror you will need small white marshmallows, pomegranate seeds and thick bright red syrup (or better yet, not hardened jelly, which can still be poured in a thin stream). Press a pomegranate seed into the center of each marshmallow and paint bloody streaks with syrup or jelly. Let dry before serving.

Ingredients:
2 stacks flour,
1 stack pumpkin puree,
2 tbsp. Sahara,
4 tsp baking powder,
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp cinnamon,
1 ½ cups milk,
4 eggs,
¼ cup melted butter,
raisins, chocolate pieces or dark berries - for decoration.

Preparation:
Combine dry ingredients. Mix milk, yolks and butter with pumpkin puree. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and stir until smooth. Beat the whites until they form a stable foam and add to the dough, stirring gently so that they do not settle. In a wide frying pan, bake ghost-shaped pancakes, pouring the batter into shapeless clouds. While the pancakes are frying on the bottom, add 2 smaller berries, raisins or chocolate pieces and 1 larger piece, forming the eyes and mouth of the ghosts. Flip and finish cooking the pancakes as usual. The children will be delighted!

You will need large round chocolate chip cookies, chocolate waffle cones and chocolate ice cream for the filling. For decoration you will need colored dragee and green colored glaze. Fill waffle cones with heaping ice cream, attach to cookies to create pointy hats, and place on tray. Place in the freezer. Before serving, make a ribbon of icing by running a cornet along the junction of the waffle cone and the cookie, and strengthen one dragee.

Ice cream "Mold bricks". To prepare this dish, you will need ice cream on waffles or cookies, blue and green confectionery sprinkles or coconut flakes, protein or protein-cream cream and blue and green food coloring. Prepare the cream and color it with food coloring. The more sickening the color, the better. Cut the ice cream in half; if the briquettes are very large, quickly coat with cream and dip in the sprinkles (shavings). Place on a platter and place in the freezer.

Melt white (non-porous!) chocolate with a small amount of heavy cream in a water bath. When all the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, holding it by the stem, into the chocolate and quickly transfer to a tray lined with baking paper. As you place the berries on the sheet, pull them slightly so that the excess chocolate forms “ghost tails.” Before the chocolate hardens, stick in a couple of small brown sprinkles - these will be the ghost's eyes. Place in the refrigerator. Once the chocolate has set, dip a toothpick into the melted dark chocolate and draw an open mouth.

In order for you to get a great meringue, pay attention to the tips on our website. Having gained theoretical knowledge, start preparing a wonderful and not at all scary dessert for the kids. Take 50 g of powdered sugar for each protein. Add a little lemon juice or crystalline citric acid to the whites, mix and start beating, adding powder. Beat until “hard peaks” form, when the whites hold tightly to the whisk and do not fall off. Using a piping bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking tray lined with baking paper, deliberately pulling them up to create ghost heads (like in Disney cartoons). Stick raisin eyes into the meringue and bake in a not very hot oven for an hour and a half. Let cool in the oven and carefully remove from the sheet. You can use melted chocolate to add a mouth.

Ingredients:
2 packages of semi-finished jelly made from strawberries, raspberries or other bright red berries,
1 packet of chewing marmalade in the shape of worms,
blue or green food coloring,
deep plate with painted eyes and mouth.

Preparation:
Dilute the jelly according to the instructions on the package, reducing the amount of water by about a third. Pour out some of the jelly and color it with dye (the color will be simply disgusting). Pour the red jelly into a bowl and set in the refrigerator. Stir the jelly several times until its surface at least vaguely resembles the cerebral cortex. Stick gummy worms into the frozen jelly, melt the dye-colored jelly and pour disgusting streaks over the whole abomination. Brrr...

And, of course, you can’t do without the queen of the spooky ball - the pumpkin. For children, the best treat is real pumpkin pie. And if you decorate it with an ominous cobweb, it will also be a terribly delicious pie.

Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin,
100 g butter,
150 g sugar,
3 eggs,
1 lemon,
1 stack flour,
1 tsp soda
For decoration:
white and brown glaze.

Preparation:
Grate the raw peeled pumpkin on a medium grater. Remove the zest from the lemon using a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Cream the butter and sugar until white, add the eggs and stir thoroughly. Add zest, pumpkin and lemon juice, stir and add flour and soda. Stir until smooth and place the dough in a greased pan. Place the pan in the oven, preheated to 180ºC, for 30-40 minutes. Pour the crust glaze over the cooled cake and let dry. Using a cornet, apply circles of white icing to the surface of the cake at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Then, using a thin wooden stick, draw radial stripes from the center to the edges, which will deform the circles. The web is ready! Get a toy or edible spider and place it on the pie.

Blue-green lemonade. You will need bright yellow lemonade, green and blue food coloring, and ice cubes. Pour lemonade into glasses, add ice and add a drop of blue and green dye. Using a thin stick, lightly stir the ice in the glasses, but do not stir so that the bright streaks of coloring spread inside.

Making kids' Halloween food is super easy and kids will love it! Bon appetit!

Halloween is the most "terrible" of the holidays: for one night a year, people all over the world allow dark forces to take over their minds.

Cookies "Witch's fingers"

Witch finger Halloween treats are a classic of the genre. And if you have never tried making such a dessert, then we will present its recipe in more detail.

So, we will need:

• white flour - about 3 cups;
• softened butter - about 230 g;
• medium-sized sugar - a glass;
• large fresh egg - 1 pc.;
• baking powder - a small spoon;
• salt - 2/3 of a small spoon;
• vanillin - a small bag;
• whole peeled almonds - 10-30 pcs.;
• red jam - several large spoons.

Knead the dough

The Halloween treats for which we are reviewing recipes are a pleasure to prepare. Such desserts are made very quickly, but they turn out incredibly beautiful and original. Before baking the Witch's Fingers cookies, you should knead the base. To do this, you need to soften the cooking fat, beat it together with sugar and egg, and then add baking powder, vanillin and salt. After obtaining a homogeneous mass, add white flour and knead the elastic dough.

Correctly forming and baking dessert

Having made the sand base, you should immediately begin shaping the cookies. To do this, you need to pinch off a piece of dough and roll it into a sausage that is as close as possible to the size and shape of a real human finger. If necessary, several grooves can be made on the products to imitate folds. You should also place whole peeled almonds on one end of the cookie. In this form, all the cookies need to be moved to a baking sheet and baked in the oven for half an hour. During this time, the “fingers” will be completely cooked and will become rosy and crispy.

Decorating the dessert

Homemade Halloween treats always turn out not only very beautiful, but also delicious. After all, such desserts are prepared without various additives and dyes.

After the Witch's Fingers are completely baked, they should be removed and cooled. Next, you need to carefully remove the almonds, grease the attachment point with red jam and reinstall the “nut-nail”. It is also recommended to color the other end of the cookie. As a result, you should get a very tasty and terrifying delicacy that quite closely resembles the severed fingers of a witch.

Original dessert “Cemetery land”

How to make unusual treats for Halloween?

Recipes for such delicacies may involve the use of completely different components. To make a dessert called “Cemetery Ground”, you need to stock up on the following ingredients:

• ready-made mixture for making chocolate pudding or chocolate jelly - at your discretion;
• chocolate cookies (very dark) - 300 g;
• chewing worms - 10-20 pcs.

Cooking process

Graveyard soil Halloween treats are pretty easy to make. First you need to prepare jelly using a ready-made mixture. Next, it should be poured into small bowls (it is recommended to fill the containers 2/3 full) and wait until it hardens completely. After this, you need to grind the dark chocolate cookies to crumbs and place them on top of the pudding. Finally, the dessert needs to be decorated so that it seems that they are literally crawling out of the cemetery soil.

Making “Monster Eyes”

Simple Halloween treats require readily available ingredients. To make an original dessert called “Eyes of the Monster” in a matter of minutes, we will need:

• round chocolate cookies with a white layer - about 300 g;
• red jam - a few spoons;
• multi-colored M&M's candies - pack.

Cooking method

Monster Eyes Halloween treats are pretty easy to create.

For this we need dark chocolate cookies, which should be divided into two parts. On the one where the white layer remains, you need to stick an M&M’s candy with the lettering facing down. After this, the “whites of the eyes” need to be painted with red jam, which will imitate blood vessels. At the end, the dessert must be kept in the cold, and then beautifully placed on a plate and served along with tea.

As for the half of the cookie where there is no white cream left, it can be used to make a delicacy called “Cemetery Ground”.

Preparing the “Witch’s Broom” delicacy

DIY Halloween treats are pretty easy to make. If you want to get an original sweet dish, but you don’t have time to cook it for a long time, then we suggest using the recipe described below.

For this we need:

• salted straw - a small pack;
• chocolate candies with a ribbed surface (it is advisable to purchase round ones) - 10-20 pcs.

How to cook?

Treats made from sweets are the simplest and most delicious. To make a witch's broom, turn the ribbed treat over and then poke a small hole in the center with a toothpick. After this, we place a salted straw in it. This should be done extremely carefully, especially if the candy is filled with liquid filling.

To make the formed dessert look as much like a witch’s broom as possible, it is recommended to additionally coat it with chocolate glaze. To do this, melt one of the candies in the microwave and then apply it to the treat using a pastry brush.

If you decide to prepare such an extraordinary dish as a gift or treat it to invited guests, then you don’t have to remove the wrapper from the sweets. However, in this case, you should no longer grease them with glaze.

Dessert “Cockroaches”

Now you know how to make Halloween treats. At the end of this article, I would like to present to your attention another original dessert called “Cockroaches”. For it we will need:

• dates - 10-30 pcs.;
• milk or dark chocolate - 3 bars;
• cherry cuttings - depending on the amount of dessert (not necessary);
• peeled roasted walnuts - 100 g.

Forming "cockroaches"

To make this intimidating delicacy, you should wash the dates in advance and then remove the pit from them. Instead, it is recommended to place a small fried piece of walnut in dried fruits.

The process of decorating sweet "cockroaches"

To make such a dessert more tasty and original, it should be additionally dipped in it. It is done as follows: the milk delicacy is broken into slices, and then placed in a ceramic or glass bowl and melted in the microwave. After this, 2/3 of the date is dipped into the warm glaze, which is subsequently placed in the refrigerator. When the chocolate has completely hardened, the dried fruits can be safely placed in a bowl and served along with tea.
