Are you ready to turn meringues into ghosts and short-crust into terrifying witches’ fingers? Then all you have to do is call your little helpers and get right to work. Here are 10 recipes for you.
Mummy Pizza
Everyone likes pizza even when it's scary. Prepare small pizzas and instead of seasoning them with mozzarella, use thin slices of Emmental cheese cut into strips. Arrange them like the strips of a mummy and make two scary eyes with a black olive cut into rounds.
Mummy Hot-dog
Another mummy, another recipe. This time cut pizza dough into strips and wrap them around the sausage. Cook in the oven and then decorate it with ketchup to make it look like disgusting blood.
Pumpkin Burger
A cheeseburger decorated to perfection. Just make the outline of a Halloween pumpkin with a cheese thin slice and then when cooking let it melt slightly on the hamburger.
Cheese Brooms
Fun and easy to make finger food that will vanish in a second. Just roll on itself a thin cheese slice, closed with a blade of chives and stick it on the end of a savory stick. Then make slits in the cheese as if they were the bristles of a bewitched broom.
Banana Ghosts
This is a great idea to get children to eat fruit. Peel a banana, cut it in half and put two chocolate chips in the pulp to make eyes and one to make the mouth. The banana will immediately turn into a ghost.
Mandarin or pumpkin?
Another very easy idea that has fruit as its star. Peel a mandarin without separating the segments and in the middle put a cucumber or celery as a stick. It will look like a small pumpkin.
Ghost Meringues
Prepare meringues according to the classic recipe with egg whites, sugar and lemon and then once cooked in the oven let them cool well. Decorate them with melted chocolate drawing the eyes of a ghost.
Sweet bones
A delicious dessert that is prepared by mixing 200 gr of chopped almonds with 200 gr of icing sugar and 150 gr of condensed milk. Work the mixture giving it the shape of many small bones and then let everything cool in the fridge for a few hours.
Witches’ fingers
Prepare a short-crust pastry and then divide it into many small snakes, each the size of a finger. On the end of each cookie put an almond as if it were the nail of a hand and then brush it with egg white. Bake... taking care not to eat all the nails first!
Witch hat
Take some ice cream cones and dip them in melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drain and then decorate with hazelnut grains or colored candies. Once upside down they will look like hats.
