Halloween is right around the corner and many of you may be planning parties for the holiday! As a professional florist in Henderson, NV, here are some great Halloween inspired recipes.
Won't Believe Your Eyes: an easy treat that relies on presentation to make it frightening
Ingredients:
- Grapes
- Box with hole cut into the top
- Black cloth to cover the hole (optional)
For this recipe you simply need to peel the grapes by following the steps in this link: how to peel grapes easily. Then place peeled grapes into a bowl and cover with the box. Have party guests reach their hands into the box to find bowl of "eyeballs" and then instruct them to eat the treat!
Finger Food: you can make this a healthy treat by using whole wheat dough
Ingredients:
- Pizza dough (whole wheat or regular)
- Sliced almonds
- Pizza Sauce (optional)
For this recipe you simply take some pizza dough and separate it into small sections (about the size of a finger) and then roll and shape the dough to look like a human finger. Add the sliced almond to the tip (as the fingernail) and then bake according to the directions on the pizza dough. You can also add pizza sauce for dipping and label it as blood.
Mad Scientist Punch: kids can help make this potion
Ingredients:
- 2 cans orange juice concentrate (thawed)
- 2 cups of water
- Koolaid mix pouch
- 2 liters of lemon lime soda
- 1 pint of orange sherbert
- various sized beakers to serve the punch in
For this recipe you combine concentrate, water, Koolaid, and soda into a large punch bowl and chill. When serving, pour the punch in beakers and add two scoops of orange sherbert to the top.
