Gazpacho Soup makes great MAD SCIENCE SOUP TUBES for the Last HALLOWEEN TREAT ' N EAT!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This is my favorite and most fun Halloween Treat 'N Eat! It's cold Gazpacho Soup served up in test tubes (or small beakers for a larger serving). Cold soups are refreshing and very delish - plus it's easier to serve up in a test tube! Just pop those test tubes into a holiday bucket filled with crushed ice and watch your guests "ooooh" and "ahhhh" over your creative Halloween Appetizer!

I hope you've enjoyed all my Halloween appetizer recipes this month and I hope your guests do too. Come back tomorrow (or Sunday if you're pooped from your Halloween Party) and tell me all about your party and the fun my recipes added to your celebration of October 31st!

Don't forget to stop by and get my final Halloween Martini on The Martini Diva!

Guacamole: Goblets of Gloppy Green Goo? HALLOWEEN TREAT 'N EAT #12

Guacamole dip is a real party favorite and the green color makes it perfect for a Halloween Buffet. This is my favorite recipe for guacamole because it's simple and gives you the full flavor of the avocados.

Have some fun with the serving dish - hallow out an orange or yellow squash or find a fun Halloween bowl shaped like a skull!

Serve it up with some of my Halloween Bat and Pumpkin Chips along with my Worms in Black Ooze for a South of the Border twist to your Halloween party!

Cheese Tipped Breadsticks is HALLOWEEN TREAT 'N EAT #11: Nose Booger Pickers!

If you really want to gross out your Halloween party guests make them up some of these simple Nose Booger Pickers! These are simple bread sticks and cheese that you turn into a truly gruesome sounding but tasty treat in just a few minutes.

I like to use the skinny bread sticks, grissini, but you can use standard bread sticks if you can't find the slim grissini. Just some Cheez Whiz and food coloring complete the ingredients. You can't make a quicker spooky snack and the kids will love the name.

Serve them up with The Nose Picker Martini from The Martini Diva and you've got finger picking feast fit for any nose booger aficianado! It's Booger Time!

Black Bean Dip becomes WORMS IN BLACK OOZE for Halloween Treat #10!

This is a variation on my Black Bean Salsa which takes advantage of the dark, black color to liven up your Halloween Table! It's terribly tasty and devilishly delish and slightly frightening at the same time!

The "worms" are quite edible too - they're chow mein noodles! It's a fun way to Halloween up a really good appetizer and your guests will enjoy the holiday touch - remember to tell them these "worms" are high in carbs, not protein like regular worms, lol!

If you'd like a fun black colored martini to serve with your Black Oooz, pop over to The Martini Diva and download my recipe card for The Spider 'N Snake-a-tini - it's made with Blavod Black Vodka!

An Olive Tampenade is HALLOWEEN TREATS, SPOOKY EATS #9 - Bat Guano Caviar

If you like olive tampenade then you're going to love this Halloween recipe I'm calling "Bat Guano Caviar"! It's sure to make your Halloween party guests go "euwwww" when they see it but "ahhhhh" when they taste it! It's a salty, moist bowl of monster munch!

Serving it up in a hallowed out orange squash will give your holiday table a great black and orange color accent and the toasted bread in spooky shapes will give it that little extra kick of fun for the gobbling goblins at your Halloween party!

Feel free to download any of my recipe cards, reduce them a bit, tape them up on a stick and poke into the dishes! Your guests will know exactly what they're eating and the cards will add some Halloween fun to your table!

Now, click on over to The Martini Diva for today's Halloween Martini: The Nose Picker Martini - yeah, it's a gross name but it's a great melon-banana martini with a great green color and fun garnish to spook up your party on October 31st!

HALLOWEEN TREATS, SPOOKY EATS # 8 - Fearsome Finger Sandwiches

One of the easiest and most popular party foods is the finger sandwich or tea sandwich. These Wickedly Good "Witches" for your Halloween party table are miniature sandwiches that are about 2 or 3 bites of flavorful and fearsome fun.

The "Witches" are easy to make, all you need is some of your favorite savory meat salads (home made or deli made), some hearty bread, butter, a few olives and grape tomatoes for garnish, some toothpicks and some Halloween cookie cutters!

Why use butter when the salads already have mayo or some other salad dressing? Because if you butter both insides of the bread the butter will keep your Wickedly Good "Witches" staying wickedly good and not soggy!

The butter acts as a barrier to keep the moisture from the salad soaking into the bread! So don't forget this step - especially if you prepare your Halloween finger sandwiches ahead of time! And yes, you can make these a day before if you remember the butter and wrap the sandwiches up really well with saran wrap to keep them from drying out.

By the way, you can make sweet sandwiches too - just use some sweet breads like pumpkin or raisin and fill them with fruit flavored cream cheeses or other sweet spreads, you could even serve up some of my Grilled Chocolate Sandwiches - cut them out with your cookie cutters or even some holiday mini cookie cutters (I found mine here at The Cookie Cutter Shop - what a great website for foodies!)

Today's Halloween Martini is The Monster Mash-A-Tini - a tasty terror of a green colored, melon flavored martini with a little pineapple boo of flavor!

Now, get your Goblin going and get ready for a ghostly and great 31st of October - you can still get some great Halloween apparel, home decor items>
