Green Halloween

Halloween is the perfect time to try new treats to share with friends and family. Green Halloween has come up with some creative ideas to make spooky and delicious food this Halloween season. Caramel apples are perhaps the most popular of all Halloween treats and are easy to make. Simply combine a large package of caramels with 1/4 cup of water in the crockpot until it becomes smooth and creamy. Then dip the apples in it and let them cool on wax paper before serving. Don’t forget to include the Popsicle stick handles in the apples.

Another delicious and spooky Halloween recipe that’s sweet and delicious is a dirt cake. There are several ways to make this desert, but all recipes include using Oreo cookies as the topping. Crumble the Oreos up to make the “dirt”, and include gummy worms on the top to give it a realistic look. Whatever type of cake you choose to make is up to you, as long as you include the Oreos and worms, you will have a “creepy” looking but delectable treat.

For interesting snacks, you can make a “Cyclops” hot dog. Simply slice green olives and use ketchup to apply them to the hot dog to make an eyeball. Then, drizzle the hot dog with more ketchup for the “blood”. Eyeballs are a very common theme when it comes to Halloween food. You can make eyeballs in many different ways. One popular way is to cover cookies or marshmallows in white chocolate. Then, once cooled, you can “paint” on the iris using food coloring and then accent the whites of the eyes with red food coloring to give them a scary bloodshot look. White donuts are also a very easy and fun choice for the main part of the eyeball.

Sugar cookies are a fun and easy way to make any shape you wish in Halloween themes. You can use a pre-packaged cookie mix, and use cookie cutters in the shape of ghosts, pumpkins, and bats, just to name a few. Accent them with icing in colors of white, orange, and green. Look for any basic sugar cookie recipe for the actual cookies. All of these are fun ways to make delicious and scary snacks for any Halloween party.

Here are some great ideas for Halloween costumes from the Green Halloween team.

Halloween doesn’t have to be an extra expensive time of the year. In fact, you can make most of your Halloween costumes from scratch with just a few arts and crafts supplies. Depending on what you want to be, in most cases you can do it yourself pretty easily without breaking the bank. Cardboard boxes are surprisingly versatile, and can be a great last minute costume. You can be just about any food item that comes in a box, or you can be a robot with a cardboard box. Simply cover the box with paper and decorate accordingly.

Craft items like glue, colored construction paper, and glitter can be real lifesavers when it comes to making your own Halloween costume. You can easily apply glitter to most things to give it a whole new look and dimension, and construction paper can be cut into any shape and glued to almost anything to create interesting accents or accessories. Of course the main part of your costume does not have to cost you a pretty penny either. Go to your local thrift store and see what they have to offer in the way of costume ideas. Most will sell used uniforms, which makes an instant and inexpensive costume.

Clowns are easy to do for Halloween, and you can make this yourself. Simply find some colorful and very baggy clothing, decorate it with glitter glue and pom poms, and buy a colorful curly wig. Then paint your face with Halloween makeup in the traditional clown style and you’re on your way. Another easy costume you can make yourself is a nerd. Simply slick your hair back, find a white dress shirt and fill the top pocket with pens, and wear some polyester pants pulled up as high as you can. Top it off with some dark rimmed glasses and you’re all set.

Sometimes using innovative ideas on your own is the best way to make a Halloween costume. Think of items you have around the house, and how you can use them in a costume. You’ll be surprised by what you come up with and just how creative you really can be when you put your mind to it. Plus, the kids will have a great time spending time with you and making costumes at home that they can show off to their friends.

Green Halloween has noticed that the air is getting cooler, the leaves are turning colors and everyone is beginning to get geared up for Halloween. If you’re planning a party this year, there are lots of wonderful things you can do for decorations and getting the party planned. Start by decorating your house in fall and Halloween themes. Use a cool centerpiece by buying a pumpkin and placing it on a colorful autumn colored placemat. You can carve the pumpkin, or simply leave it as is. Gourds also make unusual and creative centerpiece as well.

Banners and garland are also excellent additions to your Halloween décor. Find rolls of crepe paper in colors like white, black, and orange and twist them together, then hang the home made garland throughout the house. Fake spider webs (which can be bought at many retailers during the Halloween season) also make a cool creepy decoration. Don’t forget to add the plastic spiders! You can buy large holiday themed cut outs in a huge selection of shapes and sizes as well, which will really give your home a cool look. Hang them on the doors and walls. Halloween parties can be themed for a great time as well. Come up with a creative theme, and then have everyone dress accordingly. You can do just about anything your heart desires, from a Harry Potter themed party, to Disney, to ghosts and ghouls, the list goes on and on.

Don’t forget drinks and snacks when planning your Halloween party. Creepy eyeball punch, ghoulish cookies, and caramel apples are just a few choices. Make all of your snacks as spooky themed as you can because it will add a cool look to the overall décor, and a lot of fun to the party. Use your imagination and be creative when it comes to decorating and planning your Halloween party. Try to come up with something unique that will add flair and a feeling of festivity.

Here at Green Halloween, we’ve noticed that candy manufacturers have been gearing up for the Halloween season and are getting ready to inundate the store shelves with colorful candies and other sweet treats. While these are always fun, you can also make your very own spooky sweet treats for the Halloween party you’re hosting or attending. One of the most popular and fun treats to make are delicious peanut butter spiders. Here is the recipe to make some creepy Halloween spiders that taste great! This recipe is for one spider, so you can multiply the same recipe for each one you make.

First, take 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter (do not use crunchy), and combine it with 2 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar and two tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs. Mix them all up until smooth and then separate the large ball of peanut butter, sugar, and crumbs into two balls. Be sure one is larger than the other, since one will be the body of the spider and one will be the head. Next, take the peanut butter balls and roll them into shredded coconut. The coconut should stick to the peanut butter, and completely cover each ball.

Take black licorice and cut it up into 8 smaller pieces. Then stick the pieces of licorice into the peanut butter balls on each side to make creepy spider legs. Or, you can use an entire piece of licorice for each leg if you desire. Use raisins or small chocolate pieces to make the eyes of the spider. You can make as many or as little spiders as you wish. Lay them out onto a tray and let your guests munch on them. These little Halloween spider treats look great, are easy to make, and taste delicious, too. It’s easy to be the hit of the party when you create these spooky and fun snacks!
