Love these ideas. Here's an addition to the punch:
Wash and dry and take red or purple or green grapes off stems. Freeze them
and add to the punch. they sort of look like eyeballs.

Halloween Ideas, recipes and etc.
Use plastic doll arms and legs for drink stirrers
Either buy dolls and take them off or go to hobby lobby and buy bags of
arms and legs
Use any masque lined with plastic wrap for foods requiring a mold. You
will be able to turn the masque facing up on a plate, remove plastic wrap
and have a very interesting looking dip! I am betting with some of the
gelatin molds I have seen on list lately this would work too.
Pudding cups Halloween style:
Use chocolate pudding and vanilla pudding
Dye vanilla pudding orange using a combination of red and yellow dye Using
clear dessert cups, layer the two puddings
Sprinkle some crushed chocolate wafer cookies on the top
On the top of the cookies sprinkle chopped up candy corns
Peanut mix:
Mix equal parts salted peanuts and candy corn together
This is suppose to taste like baby Ruth or butter fingers or something
but it is good.
Pumpkin tortilla chips
preheat oven to 400
from beredo size tortillas, roasted red pepper and or jalapeno cilantro
flour tortillas work good.
with a half inch pumpkin cookie cutter or any size, cut out as many as
you can. If you have other Halloween cutters use them too.
bake on ungreased cookie sheet 5 minutes until crisp
Roasted pumpkin seeds
1 1/3 cups pumpkin seeds, cleaned and rinsed
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. I like to use parchment
paper or tin foil. Combine the pumpkin seeds with the garlic powder, salt,
crushed red pepper, and black pepper on prepared baking sheet and toss to
combine. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until seeds are crispy and light
golden brown. Remove from the oven and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon
to release any seeds that have stuck to the baking sheet, and cool
completely before serving.
HALLOWEEN PUNCH
1 lg. can Hi-C orange drink
1 lg. can pineapple juice
1 lg. bottle ginger ale or 7-Up
1/2 gallon orange sherbet
Mix Hi-C, pineapple juice, and ginger ale. Spoon in orange sherbet.
Because of the orange coloring of this punch it is considered Halloween,
but what I have done is get one of those plastic jack-o-lanterns the kids
use for trick or treating and put any type drink in that apple cider etc
but it becomes a nice punch bowl and the kids get a kick out of it, not to
mention the adults too!
Dead Man's Meatloaf
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 egg, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup minced onions
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
Olives, corn kernels and pimentos (garnish)
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Using clean hands, mix together all ingredients, except for the spaghetti
sauce and garnishes, in a large bowl.
To form the corpse: In an ungreased baking pan, sculpt the meat mixture
into a body. (Generally, bodies have a single head, torso, 2 legs and 2
arms, but yours can have as many or as few as you like.)
Using olives for eyes, corn for teeth and pimentos for a tongue, decorate
your loaf. Feel free to try other vegetables, too.
Pour spaghetti sauce around the corpse and bake for about 1 hour and 15
minutes. Right before serving, stick a dagger (butter knife) into the
"heart" of the corpse.
You can use your favorite meatloaf recipe but the sauce around it really
does finish the dead man's look off. My grand boys loved it. This is one
of those things that if it looks weird it just adds to the halloween
theme!
I often am scrambling to find a costume idea that is cheap and can be put
together in a short time.
Costume ideas:
Static cling: Wear anything in a solid color, all white or even all black.
With safety pins, attach stuff to yourself such as socks (no matching
pairs allowed),underwear and dryer sheets. Spray your hair straight up
into the air, and you're good to go.
The all-American tourist: Guys wear loud Hawaiian shirt, shorts (if
weather permits), large straw hat. Gals, brightly colored loud dress,
flats, big sun hat, straw bag. Don't forget to have a camera and maps
hanging out, and that "we're lost!" look.
Real nerd: Slick back the hair, grab some pants that are too short, white
shirt, white socks, penny loafers or lace-up oxfords, pocket protector
with lots of pens, dark rim glasses (don't forget to tape the corner) and
briefcase.
