Halloween is coming soon! Creepy and at the same time a fun holiday that children look forward to. A revived fairy tale about a black hand in a black room, which is located in the farthest corner of the black house ...

To prepare this delicacy, you will need not only products, but also the ability to cut. Using scissors, cut out the wings of bats from sheets of thin pita bread. In principle, you are not required to be particularly accurate, but the wings must be recognizable. Dilute salt and your favorite spices in olive oil to taste, grease the wings with a fragrant mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Put it in a hot oven for 3-5 minutes, making sure that the wings do not burn out, but remain ruddy and crispy.

Salad in pita "Monster face". Cut the pita buns in half crosswise. Put a leaf of lettuce into each bun, turning it outward - this will be the tongue of the future monster. Fill the pita with any salad, slightly heaping. Sprinkle with grated hard cheese, set two halves of olives (eyes) and a triangle of sweet red or orange pepper (nose).

Another delicious option on how to cook Halloween kids meals. Grease lightly dried toasts with butter, put the ham plastic. From rings of olives or olives make eyes, from thin semicircular strips of sweet pepper - an open mouth in a terrible scream. Cut thin slices of light-colored processed cheese into strips and lay them down, imitating bandages and partially covering the eyes and mouth.

Cutlets "Eyes of Dracula"

1 kg of ready-made pizza dough,
1 egg
1 olive
1 stack bright red ketchup

Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll a ball from one part - the body of a spider. Divide the second part into 2 more parts and roll another ball out of one - the head of the spider. From the remaining dough, roll out 8 sausages - these will be the legs of the spider. Roll sausages in poppy seeds. Fold the spider, attaching the head and legs to the body, sprinkle with cheese. Cut the olive and make the eyes. Put to bake at a temperature of 190ºС for 25-30 minutes. Put the finished spider on a flat dish, cut off the upper body and take out the pulp. Pour ketchup into the resulting hole. Tear off the spider's legs and dip into the sauce.
The main dishes for children on Halloween are, of course, sweets. Prepare the usual cookies and cakes in an unusual way.

Ingredients:
3 stack. flour,
1 egg
150 g butter,
5 tbsp Sahara,
4 tbsp milk,
almonds - for decoration.

Cooking:
Melt the butter, add sugar, milk and egg, beat with a mixer. Add flour in small portions, kneading the dough. Cut it into small pieces, roll it into the shape of fingers and place on a baking sheet. On the tips of the “fingers”, strengthen the almonds, unpeeled for greater horror, grease with yolk, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake for 25 minutes at a temperature of 180ºС.

Ingredients:
150 g butter,
75 g of powdered sugar,
1 yolk,
225 g flour
1 tbsp cocoa,
a pinch of salt,
protein glaze - for decoration.

Cooking:
Mix all the ingredients for the dough and knead into a smooth elastic dough. Do not add water or milk, even if the dough will crumble at first. Put the finished dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 1 hour. Then roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm and cut out cookies in the form of figures of people and animals. Put the cookies on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and place in the oven preheated to 200ºС for 10 minutes. On the cooled cookies, use a cornet with icing to apply thin lines in the form of skeletal bones (quite arbitrary, of course!).

Creepy bloody eyes on a plate. For sweet horror, you will need small white marshmallows, pomegranate seeds and thick bright red syrup (preferably not frozen jelly, which can still be poured in a thin stream). Press a pomegranate seed into the center of each marshmallow and draw bloody streaks with syrup or jelly. Let dry before serving.

Ingredients:
2 stack flour,
1 stack pumpkin puree,
2 tbsp Sahara,
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt,
1 tsp cinnamon,
1 ½ stack milk,
4 eggs,
¼ stack. melted butter,
raisins, chocolate chips or dark berries for decoration.

Cooking:
Combine dry ingredients. Mix milk, yolks and butter with pumpkin puree. Pour the resulting mixture into the flour and stir until smooth. Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and add to the batter, stirring gently to prevent settling. In a wide frying pan, bake the ghost-shaped pancakes, pouring the dough into shapeless clouds. While pancakes are frying from the bottom, put 2 berries, raisins or pieces of chocolate smaller and 1 larger, forming the eyes and mouth of ghosts. Flip and fry pancakes as usual. Children will be delighted!

You will need large round chocolate chip cookies, chocolate waffle cones and chocolate ice cream to fill. For decoration, you will need colored dragees and green-colored glaze. Fill waffle cones with heaps of ice cream, stick onto cookies to make pointed hats, and place on a serving tray. Put in the freezer. Before serving, make a ribbon of icing by running a cornet over the junction of the waffle cone and biscuits, and strengthen one dragee.

Ice cream "Mold bricks". To prepare this dish, you will need ice cream on waffles or cookies, blue and green confectionery topping or coconut flakes, protein or protein cream and blue and green food coloring. Prepare the cream and color it with food coloring. The sicker the color, the better. Cut the ice cream in half, if the briquettes are very large, quickly spread with cream and dip in the topping (chips). Arrange on a platter and place in the freezer.

Melt white (not porous!) chocolate with a small amount of heavy cream in a water bath. When all the chocolate has melted, dip each strawberry, holding it by the tail, into the chocolate and quickly transfer to a tray lined with baking paper. When laying the berries on the sheet, stretch them slightly so that the excess chocolate forms "ghost tails". Before the chocolate hardens, stick in a couple of small brown balls of confectionery sprinkles - these will be the eyes of the ghost. Place in refrigerator. When the chocolate has hardened, dip a toothpick into the melted dark chocolate and draw an open mouth.

In order for you to get a meringue for glory, pay attention to the tips of our site. Having been theoretically savvy, start preparing a wonderful and even not at all scary dessert for the kids. Take 50 g of powdered sugar for each protein. Add a little lemon juice or crystalline citric acid to the proteins, mix and start whipping, adding powder. Beat until "hard peaks" are reached, when the whites are firmly attached to the whisk and do not fall off. Using a pastry bag, pipe the meringues onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper, deliberately pulling them up to make ghost heads (like in Disney cartoons). Stick raisin eyes in the meringue and bake in a not very hot oven for an hour and a half. Let cool in the oven and carefully remove from the sheet. Molten chocolate can be used to draw a mouth.

Ingredients:
2 packets of semi-finished jelly made from strawberries, raspberries or other bright red berries,
1 bag of gummies in the form of worms,
blue or green food coloring
deep plate with painted eyes and mouth.

Cooking:
Dilute the jelly according to the instructions on the package, reducing the amount of water by about a third. Pour off part of the jelly and color it with dye (the color will turn out just disgusting). Pour the red jelly into a bowl and refrigerate to set. Stir the jelly several times so that its surface even remotely resembles the cerebral cortex. Stick gummy worms into the frozen jelly, melt the jelly dyed with dye and pour disgusting streaks over all this abomination. Brrr...

And, of course, you can’t do without the queen of a creepy ball - pumpkins. For kids, a real pumpkin pie will be the best treat. And if you decorate it with an ominous web, then it will also be a terribly delicious cake.

Ingredients:
300 g pumpkin,
100 g butter,
150 g sugar
3 eggs,
1 lemon
1 stack flour,
1 tsp soda.
For decoration:
white and brown glaze.

Cooking:
Grate raw peeled pumpkin on a medium grater. Peel the lemon with a fine grater and squeeze out the juice. Rub the butter with sugar until white, add the eggs and mix thoroughly. Add zest, pumpkin and lemon juice, mix and add flour and soda. Stir until smooth and put the dough into a greased form. Put the mold in the oven, preheated to 180ºС, for 30-40 minutes. Pour the brown glaze over the cooled cake, let dry. Using a cornet, apply circles of white icing on the surface of the cake at a distance of 1.5-2 cm from each other. Then, using a thin wooden stick, draw radial strips from the center to the edges, while the circles will be deformed. The web is ready! Get a toy or edible spider and put it on a pie.

Blue-green lemonade. You will need bright yellow lemonade, green and blue food coloring, and ice cubes. Pour lemonade into glasses, put ice and drip a drop of blue and green dye. With a thin stick, lightly stir the ice in the glasses, but do not stir so that bright dye streaks spread inside.

Making kids' Halloween meals is easy and the kids will love it! Bon appetit!

Do your guests like not only to have fun, but also to eat? No problem! Check out our ideas for spooky Halloween main dishes.

Pasta and meatballs from turkey - the all-seeing eye

• minced turkey - 0.5 kg;
• grated cheese - ¼ cup;
• breadcrumbs - ¼ cup;
• ground black pepper - ¼ teaspoon;
• salt.

To prepare the marinade you will need:

• onion - 2 pcs.;
• ripe tomatoes - 1.2 kg;
• celery - 2 stalks;
• garlic - 2 cloves;
• carrots - 2 pcs.;
• olives;
• salt and pepper;
• Bay leaf.

Let's start with the marinade. To do this, we take our ripe juicy tomatoes and remove the skin from them.

You can easily remove the skin from a tomato by placing them in boiling water for a few minutes, then dousing them with ice water. Don't forget to make a small cross cut on the tomato beforehand.

In a frying pan, first fry the garlic and diced onion until translucent. Now add the grated carrots and celery. After 10 minutes, you can pour vegetables with cooked tomato puree.

Do not forget to season the sauce with salt and pepper, add bay leaf.

Let the sauce simmer over low heat until it thickens.

This may take up to an hour.

Therefore, we do not waste time, but proceed to the preparation of the meatballs themselves.

Mix all the ingredients for the meatballs.

Separately cut the olives with washers.

These will be the eyes, which must be carefully laid out on each meatball, pressing lightly into the minced meat.

Pour the finished sauce into a heat-resistant form and carefully put the meatballs into it.

Try to keep all eyes above the level of the sauce.

Cover with foil and place in the oven for at least half an hour.

After this time, remove the dish and remove the foil. Bring the meatballs to readiness already without covering in the oven for another 10 minutes.

Boil spaghetti and place turkey meatballs with eyes on top of them. It is better to serve this dish hot and in portions.

Baked roll - vampire hand

To prepare minced meat you will need:

• minced pork and beef - 700 gr.;
• chicken eggs - 2 pcs.;
• onion - 2 pcs.;
• carrots - 1 pc.;
• hard cheese - 100-150 gr.;
• ketchup;
• greenery;
• salt and pepper.

Prepare the base for meatloaf from minced meat by adding finely chopped onion, grated carrots, seasonings and herbs to it.

It is better to cook minced meat yourself from pieces of meat - this is a guarantee that the dish will turn out delicious.

We form a brush from the mass, laying out both the wrist itself and all the fingers. Now we cut out the nail plates from the second bulb, which we put in their places. Stir the rest of the onion in the form of a bone stump from the back.

We coat the terrible hand with ketchup, after which we cover it with sliced ​​\u200b\u200bcheese.

The workpiece is ready - it's time to send it to the oven, where it will spend the next 40 minutes at a temperature of at least 200 degrees.

Adjust the time depending on the capacity of your oven and make sure that the vampire hand roll does not burn.

Spread the finished dish on a dish and serve immediately to the table, where hungry zombies and witches are looking forward to treats.

Stuffed Spooky Peppers

To prepare peppers you will need:

• spaghetti - 750-1000 gr.;
• minced meat - 1 kg;
• Bulgarian pepper - 10-15 pieces;
• tomato paste - 100 gr.;
• tomatoes - 2-3 pcs.;
• onion - 1 pc.;
• basil and oregano;
• salt and pepper.

In a heated frying pan, fry finely chopped onion and immediately add minced meat to it. We continue to cook on a fairly high heat so that the water evaporates from the mass, and the minced meat begins to fry. This will take 5-10 minutes, depending on the quality of the meat product.

Now we put chopped tomatoes to the minced meat, from which we first remove the skins.

After frying the minced meat with tomatoes, add tomato paste and about half a liter of boiling water there.

Salt, pepper, add all the seasonings and continue to simmer the meat sauce now on low heat. It will take about half an hour to cook.

At this time, prepare the peppers themselves.

Take the number of peppers no less than the number of guests. Believe me, such a dish will be not only a wonderful decoration for Halloween - every guest will want to try a super scary pepper.

Cut the tops off the peppers and remove all the seeds. We wash and with a very sharp knife we ​​make holes in the form of eyes, a skewed mouth.

The peppers themselves do not need to be stewed or processed.

They will serve on the table as dishes, not as an ingredient in the dish.

When the meat sauce is cooked, boil spaghetti in salted water and mix them with minced meat.

We lay out the finished pasta with minced meat on the prepared peppers and, using a fork, pull out the pasta through the holes, giving the peppers an even more awesome look.

Add more spaghetti to peppercorns and sprinkle cheese on top.

Instead of spaghetti with minced meat, you can use pilaf or another hot dish as a filling for scary peppers.

Mystical mashed potatoes

This is not just a treat, it is a special substance for. Mashed potatoes, of course, will be eaten after the ritual. But in order to be able to do this, let's think about how to combine the two goals.

Firstly, we do not prepare mashed potatoes according to the usual recipe, but add spinach or boiled carrots to potatoes, which will give it an unnatural color.

Now we are engaged in secret predictions.

You can find figurines made of food-grade plastic and place them in the resulting substance. Or you can cut out figures from raw vegetables yourself.

You can see how to conduct fortune-telling on mashed potatoes and the meaning of the figures in our article.

And of course, try to lay out the mystical potatoes in an unusual way. Let it be a lava volcano or a raging river.

Give your favorite dishes a spooky look. Surprise your guests with unusual Halloween recipes. Experiment with new, albeit creepy at first glance, tastes. And your vampires and witches, ghosts and zombies, Leprechauns and cats will not remain hungry, and will tell their friends about the most terribly delicious for a long time.

The scariest holiday of the year, Halloween, is just around the corner. In recent years, it has been popular not to recognize it, not to celebrate it, and in every possible way to pretend that it does not exist, however, regardless of what you personally think, it exists and, most likely, will not go anywhere in the near future. Alas, living in a society, it is difficult not to accept its trends, so most likely one way or another you will still encounter the question halloween menu- you may have to cook something for a morning party in the kindergarten, a charity fair at school, or in general, at the request of the child, organize a small party for friends. In general, ideas what to cook for halloween, needed, whatever one may say!

Everyone in our world is a little crazy.
L. Carroll, "Alice in Wonderland"

I won't compose now halloween menu- I’ll just share with you those ideas that I found on the Web a long time ago and left for myself just in case. This year we will spend the Scariest Night visiting friends - most likely, we will carve something unusual from pumpkins with the children, light many, many candles and bake some cookies. This will be enough to amuse the children, tell them about the traditions of other countries and cultures, show them how this holiday is held in general, and at the same time explain why it does not fit very well into our customs. In general, will we organize something or not, are you planning, what to cook for halloween or not, I'll sketch out a rough list of ideas anyway. Would it come in handy?

The main criterion in compiling an approximate halloween menu there was simplicity - I was looking for quick and affordable ideas, for the implementation of which one does not need to spend two days of time, dig a bunch of devices and rare products and learn special technologies. Considering that I perceive this holiday solely as a way to entertain children and tell them about the traditions of other countries, I do not intend to make complex cupcakes and stand over tiered cakes for hours on end. One, two, and that's it, terrible halloween menu ready!

1. Fruits on Halloween - the richest theme. A bit of fantasy can turn bananas into ghosts and tangerines into pumpkins. To realize these ideas, almost nothing is needed, except, in fact, the fruits themselves. Oh, yes, a couple of spoons of lemon juice will still come in handy - so that bananas, apples and a number of juicy goodies remain fresh for a long time and do not darken, they should be sprinkled with lemon, otherwise your ghosts will quickly turn, if not into representatives of the population of the African continent, then definitely into mulattos .

By the way, you can beat everything, for example, an apple: choose beautiful blood-red fruits, dip them in melted chocolate - you're done, scary treat in the spirit of Halloween in your pocket. Oh, better on a plate!

2. Stuffed eggs- an easy way to do something scarier. Spiders made of black olives or eyes made of green olives and a red ketchup pupil will scare anyone. For a children's party, perhaps, these dishes are not suitable, but it is quite possible to offer adults.

By the way, not only stuffed eggs, but also any salad or even pizza can be decorated with the same black olive spiders. It turns out that with a minimum of labor, a maximum of fear and taste comes out!

3. Witch's broom- one of the main attributes of the holiday! It’s easier than ever to make it from a piece of hard cheese, straws and a sprig of green onions or any greens. The simplest things, as a rule, cause the greatest excitement - I'm sure such "brooms" will disperse immediately!

However, you can make a sweet broom - buy chocolates with a characteristic corrugated edge (well, or cook them at home, just pour the chocolate into special molds), slightly heat the straw, insert it into the center of the candy or stick with a small amount of chocolate. Not so spectacular, but also a variant.

4. A great option for Halloween decor - food applications. An ordinary circle of cucumber easily turns into all kinds of faces and scary muzzles. Instead of a cucumber, you can take carrots, pumpkins, beets and a lot of other products.

Yes, and you can also experiment with shapes - for example, cutting out a skull is also not so difficult, there would be a desire.
