Halloween is coming up and there are so many fabulous food ideas out there to share. Today, I've been looking at sweet treats (bar the fingers, I couldn't resist including them). Yes, they are sugar laden, but with a bit of a think they can be modified to suit all tastes and needs. Have a look at these wonders....
These take some preparation but don't these sweet treats look fabulous? Marshmallow with a little chocolate thrown in, why not make this into a bit of a cooking/crafting session with your little critters?

Not for the faint-hearted....how about a big bowl of worms? Yuck! They're incredibly realistic thanks to the way they're made, so much more fun than any shop bought worms (sorry Colin the Caterpillar).

Super easy and fun to make, these will get the kids laughing. Simply use a raisin for the pupil and fill a mould with jelly (I tried a cup from a tea set and lined it with cling film to make it easy to pop out). Hey presto!

If these don't turn your stomach then I don't know what will! Incredibly simple to prepare yet ghoulish enough to make the kids scream, they're a must if you want to go the whole hog.

Easy-peasy to make and a complete crowd pleaser! Split a large chocolate chip cookie in half, spread both with vanilla frosting that you've coloured, on one half add mini marshmallows for teeth, almonds for fangs and then put them together....I make it sound so easy!

I know most people or short on time nowadays, so for those who who are, yet still want to indulge in Halloween, then why not try the spider pizza?
Really easy to prepare - either make or buy your pizza - and then slice your spider from black olives. Ta da!!

Delicious! I couldn't find the recipe for this one, but I think it's quite straightforward....a simple chocolate mousse, with crumbled chocolate biscuit on top, finished with a cookie headstone. What's not to love about this indulgent treat. A real eye-catcher for the halloween party table.
If you're into chocolate. then this is one for you. The Witches Hat. Filled with chocolate mousse, this is a dessert that will fill you to the brim.

If you want a treat, but don't want to go to all the trouble of making lots of different treats, then this may be your answer. Fill a cone with sweets and then seal the brim on with icing. Hey presto, when they bite in to the hat, they'll get a lovely surprise!
