Brain Chocolate Truffles With Peanut Butter and Cranberry Filling
These Halloween chocolate truffles are one of my favourite Halloween treats! With a thin chocolate shell and filled with peanut butter and cranberry they're so deliciously moreish. These Halloween treats are easy enough to make but can also sit shelf stable so they don't need to be refrigerated. I used cranberries as the sweetener instead of jam to make them shelf stable but also because the white chocolate was sweet enough as it was.

Tarantula Cheese Ball
This creepy, crawly Tarantula cheese ball is a fun and easy Halloween recipe to make. The cheeseball is coated in poppy seeds with sliced stuffed olives for (multiple) eyes for added ick factor! It is great party food especially if you have vegetarians. You can use your favourite cheeses as long as you have a cream cheese base that will bind it all together.

Terrified Tacos
These Terrified Tacos were a Halloween vegetarian and gluten free option that I also thought looked adorably cute. These are best made just before serving as the taco shells need to be heated in the oven but the rest can be made ahead of time. We served these around 8:30pm once people had snacked on the other food as I like bringing out a hot option and everyone seemed to love them.

- Tuna salad or ham and cheese
- Red capsicum forked tongue

Step 1 - Arrange bagels in a S shape pattern alternating them but making the head at one end with 1/4 bagel. Top with tuna salad and ham/cheese and place olives for eyes and capsicum for the tongue.
Slimy Frog Spawn Drink
Watch out! They're definitely watching you with this Halloween Frog Spawn Drink! Basil seeds are similar to chia seeds-they swell up on cooking but the added advantage of these is that they look like eyes. This drink is similar to falooda which uses basil seeds. It's sweet, milky and delicious and I love the extra texture that the basil seeds give. This is actually totally delicious and if you love bubble tea drinks you'll love this Halloween drink!

Eyeball Blood Cocktail
The real feature of this cocktail is the eyeball which is easily made with radishes. Keep the radish tail on so that it looks like the optic nerve that attaches the eyeball to the head!
- 500ml / 2 cups cranberry juice, chilled
- 100ml/3.5ozs. vodka
- 6 radishes
- 6 pimento olive slices
- 3 toothpicks, cut in half
Step 1 - Mix the cranberry juice and vodka together. Cut the ends off the radishes at the green end and cut out a hole to fit the pimento olives. Peel down the sides of the radishes.
Step 2 - Fit the olive into the hole and secure it with a toothpick and drop the eyeballs in the drink.
