KILLER HALLOWEEN RECIPES AND DECOR

Halloween 2018 is just around the corner! Still unsure on how to impress your guests? See these killer Halloween recipes and decor.

Here's just two of our favourites but there are plenty in the video below and, if you're not much of a cook, then some of the decorations are super easy to follow.

Jack O Lantern Chips and Dip

1. For the guacamole: Mash avocados with the lime juice. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly.
   
   
2. For the queso: In a pot over medium heat, melt 1 Tbsp. butter and sauté scallions. Add cheese, milk and cornstarch, and mix until melted and smooth. Add green chiles and mix until combined.
   
   
3. Serving: Draw eyes and carve a sad mouth on a small pumpkin. Hollow out the inside and insert a bowl. Pour queso in the bowl and top with chopped tomatoes. Spoon guacamole coming out of the pumpkin’s mouth. Serve with chips!

Halloween Party Punch

1. Fill each plastic glove with water until about 2 inches (5 cm) from the opening of the glove. Twist the opening and tie into a knot.
   
   
2. Place in a tray, draping some gloves over others if you want some of the fingers to appear bent. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until solid.
   
   
3. Make the lychee eyeballs: Place a blueberry inside each lychee.
   
   
4. Use a toothpick to paint a bit of red food colouring on the outside of the lychees to mimic veins on an eyeball. Add the lychees to a large punch bowl.
   
   
5. Pour in the cranberry juice, ginger ale, reserved lychee juice, and vodka, if using.
   
   
6. Remove the gloves from the freezer and run under warm water for 15 seconds. Use scissors to cut off the knot and then slide the ice out of each glove and into the punch.
   
   
7. To serve, ladle punch and a couple eyeballs into glasses.

Happy haloweening, everybody!
