So Gross..but So Good!

It's that time of year! Party invites are arriving and you're freaking out. Not only do you have to find an original and prize winning costume idea, but you now are also challenged to bring along a treat to share. I have searched the inter-webs (get it webs... Halloween... I'll be here all week folks) looking for some spooky, gross, and gag worthy ideas to pass along to you. I'm no luck with costume help- heck I don't even iron- but we have hosted our fair share of Halloween Extravaganzas over the years. Here are a few quick and easy ways to add a little spooky to your party eats and drinks. Post some of your creepy dishes to share.

Fresh mozzarella bocchini balls stuffed with olives and pimentos in a pool of red food colored white balsamic vinegar. These are disgustingly delicious!

Old fashioned deviled eggs with black olive spiders, they kind of look like egg sacks to me

Witches brew: 1 half gallon of lime sherbet, 1 carton of orange juice, 2 liter of sprite and a little dry ice    (do not eat the dry ice..bad idea all day long)

Baked sweet potato jack-o-lanterns, a spritz of olive oil, salt, pepper, and some steady knife skills. 350 for approximately 20 mins or until a sharp knife can easy be inserted into them. They are really cool and shrivel up so they could also double as spooky shrunken heads if you used yucca root in place of sweet potatoes.

By far the easiest trick in my book of spells. Juice boxes + white electrical tape + googly eyes = mom/dad of the year award winner!
