Well, are you ready to meet the night before All Saints' Day and how to scare the guests with terrible dishes? Halloween is a great occasion to organize a friendly party, gather a fun company for a themed dinner and have fun so that you can remember this evening for a long, long time.
Do you think everything will come down to the usual gatherings with a glass of wine or a bottle of beer? It is in your hands to organize such a holiday that will bring a lot of joy and pleasure, give smiles and laughter, and be remembered by colors and sounds.
Wu! build a competition for the scariest lantern carved out of a pumpkin, hold a competition for the best master of scaring passers-by on the street, find out who is able to beg the most candy from the residents of your house, play "Mafia" in a witchy manner, decorate the apartment with creative scary candles and spiders. And yes, do not forget to knock on the doors of all the neighbors: the question "Sweets or life?" will greatly diversify your table, add a sea of funny stories to the piggy bank of this year's Halloween memories and simply cheer up everyone who is lucky enough to be next to you on this day. It depends only on you what you will fill this evening with: boring conversations about boring things or active games and entertainment, the main thing is to make the right decision.If suddenly you manage to encourage guests to come in fancy dress, the holiday will certainly turn out to be perfect. Witches, vampires, skeletons, spiders, all kinds of koshchei and hedgehog grandmothers are an amazing company to celebrate the night of Evil.
In addition to the "cultural program", do not forget to think over the menu: Halloween is a great occasion to cook something unusual, memorable, disgustingly beautiful. The format of the holiday is a buffet: no complex side dishes, multi-component hot dishes and gourmet snacks. Halloween meals should be convenient, delicious, simple, and of course scary, very, very scary.
We are offering to you sample menu for Halloween celebration. The first part is appetizers, the second is desserts. For the Day of all witches and vampires, ghouls and ghosts - the most suitable option.

Do you love spiders? Is there? Do not love? You just don't know how to cook them!
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 eggs;
- 1 onion;
- 20 g butter;
- black pepper to taste;
- 6 olives;
- 1 st. l. mayonnaise;

Onion clean, cut small cubes and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Boil the eggs, cool, peel and cut in half. We take out the yolk, knead it with a fork along with mayonnaise, pepper and salt. Mix with onions. Fill the egg whites.
Cut each olive in half. We spread one half on each egg - this is the “body” of the spider, cut the second into strips, which we lay out around the “body”, imitating paws. Done, you can be scared!
Sausage in dough or "Mummy Invasion"
Save yourself, who can - terrible mummies attacked you! They massively climb into the hands, threaten the waist and literally hypnotize, not allowing you to take your eyes off them!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pack of puff pastry (450 g);
- 10-15 sausages;
- 2 tbsp. l. ketchup;
- carnation buds for decoration.
We take out the puff pastry from the freezer, wait for defrosting. Unfold, roll out slightly. Lubricate with ketchup. Cut into long strips 1-1.5 cm wide.
We take a peeled sausage and begin to wrap it with dough in a spiral. At the top we leave a "slot" for the eyes.
We spread the sausages on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, insert the eyes (clove buds) into the slots. We bake at a temperature of 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
"Normal" Halloween Dish - Pumpkin Sticks
I propose to diversify the menu with something not very terrible, but thematic - what if your guests are extremely impressionable and do not want to treat themselves to spiders and mummies? Spicy "sticks" of pumpkin are healthy, tasty and original.
INGREDIENTS:
- 500 g pumpkin;
- 3 art. l. pumpkin oil;
- 3 art. l. pumpkin seeds;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- salt, pepper to taste.
We clean the pumpkin, cut it into cubes about 5 cm long with edges of 5-7 mm. Spread in one layer on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and send for 20 minutes in the oven, preheated to 170 degrees.
After the specified time, remove the pumpkin from the baking sheet, put it in a bowl. Pour evenly with oil, salt, add pepper, squeeze out the garlic, do not forget about the seeds, mix everything. Spread again in an even layer on a baking sheet and return to the oven, increasing the temperature to 210 degrees. 15-20 minutes is enough - you can serve. Delicious both warm and cold.
Shortbread "Vampire Fingers"
It is very doubtful that such a cookie causes appetite, but it is quite obvious that it provokes certain negative emotions. However, this is how it should be if you invited guests to Halloween!
INGREDIENTS:
- 150 g butter;
- 150 g of sugar;
- 2 eggs;
- 350 g flour;
- almonds;
- 50 g of jam or red jam (if desired);
- 1/3 tsp salt.
softened butter beat with sugar, 1 egg and another protein, add salt and flour, knead a soft, not sticky dough. We put it in the refrigerator for half an hour, after which we take it out, divide it into small pieces of the same size, from which we form “sausages”. We give the “sausages” the shape of a finger, we denote the phalanges with the back of the knife. Lay out on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
We dip the peeled halves of the almond into the remaining yolk, sink it at the end of the “finger”, imitating a nail.
Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cooled cookies can be lightly sprinkled with jam or jam - blood streaks on the fingers of a vampire look very, very picturesque. This is the recipe for Halloween.
Another Halloween dish - Chocolate mousse with worms
Who will refuse a portion chocolate dessert? Add a couple of nasty worms to a bowl or glass - and a treat in the Halloween format is ready!
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 chicken eggs;
- 300 g of chocolate;
- 400 ml heavy cream(fat content - not less than 33%);
- 150 g of powdered sugar;
- cocoa and jelly worms for serving.
Melt chocolate in a water bath, remove from heat and leave to cool.
At this time, beat the eggs with powdered sugar - the mass should turn white and increase in volume.
Whip cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine the cream with the egg mass, then add the chocolate in small portions and mix gently.
Pour the mousse into bowls and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
When serving, sprinkle the surface of the mousse with cocoa powder (imitation of earth), stick in a few worms.
If you are worried and do not eat raw chicken eggs, replace them with an equal weight of quail eggs.
Done, you can feast on vile worms! How do you like this dish for Halloween?

10 Halloween table and room decoration ideas
1. Be sure to place a pumpkin with “hair” fruits in the center of the table: put on assorted apples, pears, grapes, oranges, bananas on barbecue sticks and stick them in the “head”. Such a treat will perfectly decorate the holiday, and, in addition, will serve as an unusual plate for serving fruit. Rest assured, this pumpkin will be "shaved baldly" in the first minutes.
2. Do not forget to “decorate” napkins and towels for guests with bloody handprints - textile paints are quite suitable for this purpose. Of course, you have to tinker a little, but the effect is worth it!
3. The web is simply obliged to entangle your entire apartment, otherwise Halloween will not take place. Don't forget the toilet, glasses, doorways, chairs, plates.
4. Candles - by all means! Old, runny, crooked, dark, broken - that's what you need to celebrate Halloween. However, white will also look good - most importantly, before decorating an apartment with it, take a red candle, light it, and lightly pour white with melted paraffin, imitating blood streaks. Very relevant!
5. However, you can not candles - the simplest candlesticks from the most regular cans will look breathtaking if you put on each of them hastily drawing in the form of scary muzzles, skulls, spiders and other muck. By the way, it is not at all necessary to buy expensive paints for glass: Halloween lasts one night, and gouache or ordinary acrylic will survive it.
6. Down with white starched tablecloths, the table must be covered with black cloth! Put on long knee-highs on the table legs, put them on old boots - here's another "guest" for you in the Halloween format.
7. What about bats? Cutting them out of black paper is easy. It remains to hang on the trees, hide around the corner, attach on the balcony. Checked - the people are guaranteed to shudder when such an animal suddenly appears before their eyes.
8. A few meters of cheap white gauze thrown over a chandelier - and now you have a personal ghost at the holiday. Do not forget to draw eyes - for greater persuasiveness.
9. If suddenly you are not lucky enough to buy a lot of red-sided pumpkins, inflate balloons. Of course, orange. Arm yourself with black insulating tape, depict freaks and monsters on the balls - voila, you can decorate the house.
10. Have you seen table tennis balls in your nearest sporting goods store? Have you met sets of "eyes" for children's creativity in the nearest stationery? Glue them together - and now nasty eyeballs are ready, which can be laid out on plates, discreetly stuffed into the pockets of guests, presented at parting.
TERRIBLE AND UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY!
Ideas and recipes for Halloween are borrowed from the vast expanses of the Internet.
Text © Magic Food.RU
Halloween is a holiday that has recently appeared with us, and therefore it is not clear to many Slavic souls how one can dress up in scary costumes and serve terrible-looking dishes on the table. But the kids really like this pastime. Perhaps this is what made sweets the main Halloween treat. Below is a selection of delicious "ugly" and "scary" desserts to make with your young Halloween lovers.
Traditional Halloween sweets
Halloween traditions as we know them originated in the New World. But the traditional sweets of this holiday can be divided into those that appeared before the settlement of America by Europeans, and those that appeared relatively recently.
In addition to the traditional treat, it is also a way to play predictions by hiding symbols of wealth, poverty, impending marriage and other things in the form of a coin, thimble, ring when baking in bread.
The dough for it is made sweeter than for bread, but less sweet than for a cake:
- 1 ½ st. non-cold milk;
- third of the pack fresh yeast;
- ½ st. granulated sugar;
- a couple of eggs;
- 75 g of melted butter;
- a glass of light pitted raisins;
- a glass of a mixture of dried apricots, dates or candied fruits;
- 3 g per ground cinnamon;
- ¼ tsp fine salt.
Baking sequence:
- Leave a mixture of milk, sweet sand and yeast in a warm place for a third of an hour. In another bowl, sow flour with cinnamon and fine salt. Enriching the taste of baking is easy by adding other ground spices (cardamom, allspice, caramelized zest).
- To flour with spices, mix in soft butter, yeast that has become active in milk, slightly shaken eggs and dried fruits. Knead the dough diligently (at least 10 minutes) and leave to ripen for an hour in a warm place.
- Punch down the risen dough and place in a deep rectangular loaf pan. In it, it should ripen for about another half an hour. Next, Barmbrack is baked at 180 ºС until cooked (about an hour).
The surface of hot bread can be smeared with a mixture of a tablespoon of melted butter, mixed with a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and half a teaspoon of cardamom - for more flavor and softness.
The second delicacy, without which it is difficult to imagine All Saints' Day, is apples in caramel.
They come in two varieties: hard caramel apples (Candy apples) and soft caramel apples (Caramel/Toffy apples). This treat appeared much later than All Saints' Bread in the twentieth century.
To cook apples in soft viscous caramel for 8 - 10 medium fruits you will need:
- 350 g of high-quality condensed milk;
- 100 g of fatty oil;
- 200 ml of liquid honey;
- 300 g of sweet sand;
- vanilla extract;
- crushed roasted nuts.
How to cook:
- In a saucepan with a thick bottom, combine sugar, honey, sweet milk and butter. With vigorous stirring, cook the caramel until the temperature of the mixture reaches 118 degrees. Then turn off the caramel, and after a couple of minutes, pour in and quickly stir the fragrant vanilla extract.
- Carefully wash small apples, wipe dry, insert a stick instead of a stalk. Cover the surface of the baking sheet with parchment, which is liberally greased with melted butter.
- Next, prepared apples are dipped in caramel, rolled in crushed nut kernels and spread on oiled paper.
Honey can be substituted in the recipe invert syrup or simple from glucose. To make the dessert brighter, instead of nuts, you can use colored coconut flakes or various confectionery toppings.
