Fruits

You can dilute cakes and cookies on the festive table with fruits decorated in the spirit of the holiday.

Fragrant tangerines can easily be turned into symbols of the holiday if you add a green root (for example, from marmalade) to them, like a pumpkin.

Still bright citrus fruits perfectly cope with the role of mummies. Use strips of white crepe paper or bandages to turn oranges into mystical characters. Eyes can be drawn or bought at a craft store (there are ready-made eyes for toys in different shapes and sizes).

Delicious sweet kebabs are made from kiwi, marshmallows and tangerines. Chocolate icing and inspiration will make real "monsters" of them!

These are the treats you can offer to the guests of the Halloween party!

However, it is necessary not only to cook and decorate sweets, but also to pick up dishes, tablecloths and decor. This is one of the main rules of the candy bar! Here are some tips on how to arrange a sweet table and its details.

- Use black, orange and yellow colors.

- Dishes for candies and other small Halloween treats can be made by yourself. Take orange bowls or small buckets, black tape or dark paper, and glue. Cut out funny faces and stick them on the dishes.

Effectively complement the table and such cute mummies. To make them, you need to wrap jars, tall plastic containers, etc. with bandages. Eyes can be cut out of paper, drawn or bought at a sewing accessories store. You can serve fruits, cookies, sweets in "mummies".

Another option for decorating ordinary jars for a “terrible” feast. Colored paper, beads for eyes, glue, ribbons, fantasy and exclusive dishes for sweets are ready!

- To decorate the candy bar area, starched gauze ghosts, candles in candlesticks decorated with black lace, traditional pumpkins, paper figures of mystical entities are suitable.

- Is it possible to let guests go from a holiday without small gifts? Prepare a little sweet surprise for everyone in a very original package... an ordinary latex glove. Fill it with any candies, but be sure to put 5 long bars (like fingers) and tie a makeshift bag with a ribbon. You can decorate the finger on the glove with a ring. Hang up "hands" near the candy bar, and after the end of the holiday, let each guest take such a sweet present for himself.

Halloween is an unusual holiday. Halloween treats are just as original. Recipes for "terrible" and interesting dishes are presented in this article.

Halloween is the holiday of all the dead. It has very deep historical roots. Halloween has been celebrated since ancient times on the last day of October, namely 31st. This day is considered the last harvest date. It is believed that ending its fertile season, the soil has strength and power.

It is on Halloween that the earth is able to "resurrect" the dead ancestors buried in it. For that so that ghosts do not disturb the harmony of the world of the living, it was decided to scare them away in all sorts of ways. To do this, people dressed up in costumes and put on terrible masks, similar to the faces of the dead.

Realizing that among them are exactly the same creatures, the ghosts did not touch the living. They disappeared when the sun rose on the first of November.

The symbol of the holiday is pumpkin. This fruit is the last in the harvest and therefore it has a lot of significance for the holiday. Pumpkin is the main decorative element of Halloween and its the main ingredient of the dishes. Treats can be like literally cooked pumpkin snacks, thai repeat its external signs.
