Halloween parties can be utmost fun. While we all focus on the decorations and attire, food adds true life to the party. Good selection of items might not be enough. You can set the right Halloween mood with the apt Halloween dishes.
Yes! Halloween crafts can also be edible. So much so that even kids now-a-days love to make their own food crafts.
While, Internet is a real hub for loads of such recipes, we can give you a kick start to these spooky edibles:
1. Edible Dirt
Kids at the tender age love eating dirt – amazed? Yes, it’s true! So, how about creating a Halloween food craft that looks just like dirt?
For this take clear & small plastic cups. Place scoops of chocolate ice cream at the bottom, one in each cup.
Now provide the kids with sealed zip-loc baggie filled with Oreos. Instruct the child to smash these cookies as much as they can. That is turning these cookies in to real small bits.
Now pour the cookie bits on the top of your ice cream.
Further add some gummy worms.
Finally, dig in to hard with a spoon.
Yummy dirt is ready to eat!
2. Bloody Fingers
For this you need some cocktail wieners and one refrigerated biscuit dough can.
Now, around the bottom of the wiener, wrap the dough. Watch that you leave the tip showing.
From the tip of the wiener that we had left unwrapped, cut an oval piece. This would be the fingernail.
At a temperature of 350 degree Celsius, cook it in the oven. Check that the biscuits should get slightly browned.
Now, let them cool down.
Add some ketchup in place of the fingernail.
Your bloody fingers are ready to be the talk of the party!
3. Edible Eyeballs
Halloween food crafts for kids must look scary but at the same time should be simple to prepare, so that they are easy for the kids to follow.
This food craft is perhaps the simplest of all. Take deviled egg and add a black olive to show the eye black in the middle.
Now coming to the deviled eggs – they are quite easy easy.
Boil the eggs for around 5 minutes and remove them from the heat.
Let them be as it is the hot water for around 10 more minutes.
Now run these eggs under cold water and then refrigerate them. We must do this as cold eggs can be peeled of easily.
Once they cool down, peel the eggs. Cut each of them in half length-wise.
Remove the yolk or the yellow portion and collect it in a bowl.
With the help of a fork, “smoosh” these yolks in order to get a crumbly consistency.
Now, add some mayonnaise. Make sure to put little quantity at a time so that the stuffing remains thick and has a creamy mixture. Excess of mayonnaise would make it quite running.
For some extra flavor add mustard.
Fill the yolk mixture in the egg white with a spoon.
Last, as said earlier, press in the black olives and the edible eyeballs are ready to scare!

Nothing completes the lived in look of a dollhouse or other similar craft product quite like having scrumptious food sitting out on a counter or table. Buying these items is, of course, the easy way to go. Making them, however, is a whole lot more fun.
If you’re up to the challenge of crafting foods for your miniature kitchen, you’ll find there are a lot of things you can make in your own home that will give your dollhouse a more authentic look. Most projects are very simple and can even be created by youngsters who want to lend a hand. Some, however, will require a steady hand and a very patient touch.
To get started making your own food replicas for your dollhouse, you’ll have to do a few things in advance. They include:
Deciding what you want to make;
Scouring or dreaming up ideas for crafting and preserving the foods;
Collecting the necessary materials.
You will find that many food replica projects rely on basic materials that can be found in most craft shops.
Sample Projects You Can Try
There are a number of fairly easy and affordable projects you can try. Many will call for an investment in craft supplies, but most of these items can be used to make other projects. Some projects that are fairly easy to tackle include:
Creating raw eggs – There’s nothing like the look of raw eggs cooking in a pan to give a dollhouse kitchen a homey look. To create your own, you’ll need a tar gel acrylic medium and yellow acrylic paint. Make sure you have the surface you want the eggs in or on ready. Now, create your yolks by dotting yellow paint onto the surface. You can make a broken yolk look by using a toothpick to pull out your dabs. For the whites, use the tar gel to create the desired shape. If necessary, a white acrylic medium can also be used. Should you not be sure where you’d like your eggs to go when complete, craft them on a slick ceramic tile and gently scrape them off for placement once they are fully dry.
Polymer clay foods – This is the medium used for making most dollhouse and craft foods. It can be used to create such things as peaches, apples, pancakes, waffles and a host of other foods. Just use acrylic paint or another dying medium to add your desired color to the clay. Shape and then bake according to manufacturer instructions. Do keep your scale in mind when you’re working with the clay. To make waffles, for example, it’s a good idea to actually mold the shapes using a dollhouse waffle iron.
Cakes and other finished look designs – To create scaled and realistic looking cakes, you’ll need a color computer printer, acrylic paints and florist foam. Cut your cake (foam) to the desired shape. Select a picture for the top of the cake and print. Affix the picture (wrapping the sides, too) with your printer paper. Once you have a clean look, “frost” the cake by using dabs of acrylic paint to build up a more three-dimensional look.
Sure, it’s easier to buy replica foods for dollhouses and craft projects. It’s a whole lot more fun, however, to whip them up in your own kitchen!

Christmas All Through the House: Crafts, Decorating, Food
One of many parents’ biggest concerns when organising a kid’s party is the food and how much sugary junk is appropriate. Should we take the attitude that it’s a party, it doesn’t happen every day, so go crazy with the sugary treats. Or do we show concern for the health problems of today’s society and set a good example with lots of healthy nutritional items and nary a red thing in sight.
Well, before even thinking what to serve, how about thinking how to serve it. No matter what food you choose to serve you can at least control the portion sizes by organising the food into equal portions before even putting it on the table.
As you know, kids have a habit of grabbing, so one of my favourite styles of delivery is putting the food in a party box or bag. It works great with younger children as you can make sure everyone gets a bit of everything instead of little Bobby grabbing all the chocolate biscuits before anyone else gets a look in. It is also a great way to transport food to a park or other venue as it is already neatly packed away and can all be popped in the boot of the car without mess.
A plain brown paper bag works really well, as long as it is the type with the flat base. You could use a colourful bag from a craft shop or even a small inexpensive basket. I have a collection of these baskets which I picked up for $1 at a discount store. I spray painted them all different colours and my friends and I have used them over.
If using a bag, simply stack all your finger food inside fold down the top and seal with a colourful sticker. Write each child’s name on the bag or box too as this method will enable you to easily cater for specific dietary needs. With a basket, pop the traditional serviette in the base then load up with the goodies, sandwiches, fruit, mini crisp bags, and a cup cake and so on. Talk about easy portion control!
If you are going to use a table you can still have some control over portions by serving the food in one sitting then pack it away when everyone is done. A buffet style delivery works well with teenagers, but leaving food out on a party table can be messy with little fingers around. It also means you can stay in control of who is doing what and won’t be distracted by missing children who are often found raiding the left over crisps…and eating them under the table.
Don’t forget to check with parents before the day them about any allergies or special dietary needs their child may have. To be on the safe side I always recommend avoiding anything with nuts in at parties as so many children these days are allergic
