Halloween Party Fun

This is the weekend of ghouls and ghosties. It's also the weekend to have some fun scaring guests at your party. How so? Serve up some pretty frightening stuff (no, not broccoli and Brussels sprouts) but dishes that could make you go jump in the night.

If you really want to ratchet up the fear factor, then serve animal innards to your guests.it;s known as offal (from the German abfel meaning innards) and it could be anything from hearts, brain, livers and kidneys. The most common i of course liverwurst and pate which you can serve to your less fearless guests. You could also make calves brains. there is a lovely Tuscan recipe that covers them up with a sauce so they don't look too squeamish. Another are trotters or pigs feet. These are actually beloved on the German dinner table and usually come pickled.You can cook them in a Dutch oven with some water white vinegar along with spices and barbecue sauce.

If the whole idea of eating animal tummies grosses you out then stick with frightening desserts. You can have some wicked fun decorating home baked goodies. Mallomar spiders are always cool to put on cakes and cupcakes. For the legs dip the curved part of pretzels into melted dark chocolate. Let set and then put them at the Mallomar's sides. Dot on icing eyes. if you don't; have the time, just add a few little cluster s of candy corn or creme pumpkins . Make sure your frosting orange e or black or you can do a swirl of both.

have some fun with your Halloween party this year. Make the food exciting along with equals parts creepy and scary. Your guests will get a shriek out of it and so will you!!!
