Halloween Food Ideas

Method

1. Start by making the toffee apple. Add the butter to a large frying pan and melt. Then add the sugar and allow to dissolve. When it starts to bubble, add the frozen apples and the carved half apple faces. Allow the apples to caramelise in the sugar over a medium to high heat, until golden. Allow to cool.
2. Add all the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir well. Add the eggs, the oil and the yoghurt together and whisk until it is well combined.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well. Then add the cooled diced apple to the batter and again, mix well.
4. Pour the batter into a pre-lined rectangular baking tin. Then place the carved apple faces on the top.
5. Place into a pre heated fan oven at 160°C for 30 minutes, or until cooked through.
6. Once ready, drizzle with toffee sauce and allow to cool before serving.

Method

1. Follow the cooking instructions on the packet for the burgers and the onion rings.
2. Once ready, place the burgers into the buns and cut the onion rings in half, dip the ends in ketchup and place them on the sides to look like spider legs.
3. Cut slices of the cheddar to look like fangs and place them on the front.
4. Finally, pierce two black olives onto cocktail sticks and stick into the bun for eyes.

Method

1. Slice hot dogs into long strips lengthwise.
2. Boil strips in water until they curl and look like worms.
3. Toss hot dog strips with ketchup.
4. Serve on buns.

Method

1. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the puff pastry out and cut into strips. Wrap strips around the Camembert like a mummy.

3. Bake the Camembert in a preheated 180°C oven for 15 minutes until the puff pastry is golden.
4. Place sliced olives on top for the eyes and serve with bread stick fingers.

Method

1. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and the sugar together in a large bowl until pale and creamy.
2. Add the eggs one by one beating in between until well combined.
3. Sieve in the remaining dry ingredients and then add the milk. Don't over-mix - just until the ingredients form a smooth mixture.
4. Spoon into cupcake cases and bake in a preheated 150°C oven for 20 minutes.

3. Wrap a rainbow strip around the cone and finish with a black icing buckle.

Method

1. Cut the apples into quarters, cut away the core and slice in half again.
