Magical Things to Cook at a Witches Party

By Lilian Miller


Witch-themed parties are not only for Halloween, but for birthdays and other special occasions, too. For children and adults alike, if you are throwing a party, food is an absolute must! Here are some special recipes that will make your witch-themed parties fun, spooky and unusual!

Ghastly Eyeballs

This recipe will make about eight (8) dozen eyeballs

Ingredients:

- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup of pineapple juice
- 1 and half cups of mini-marshmallows
- 7 oz of cream cheese (lowfat optional)
- 1 cup of mayonnaise (lowfat/fat free optional)
- 2 and a half cups of lemon gelatin (sugar-free is optional)

Procedure:

Heat the water in a double boiler and dissolve lemon gelatin. Add in the marshmallows and stir until it melts. Take the mixture off the heat and add both the cream cheese and pineapple juice. Beat the mixture till the ingredients are well mixed and let it cool for five minutes before stirring in the mayonnaise. Tip the blend into a round ceramic dish or round ice cube trays and let it set in the refrigerator. Once the mix has set, scoop the eyeballs (with melon baller or ice cream scoop) into waxed paper then put them aside to be suitably painted. For this, utilize some liquid food coloring and apply on the pupils and irises as desired.

Witches Fingers

A.k.a Salami and Cream Cheese Wraps

Ingredients:

- Toothpicks
- Cream Cheese
- Salami (Sliced)
- Mini sweet pickles

Procedure:

Cut the pickles into 4s lengthwise. The length of the pickles must be fairly similar to the salami's length. Apply a thin spread of the cream cheese on the cut salami and then fold it round the cut pickle. Fasten the wrapping with a tooth pick to keep shape. You can also get some Halloween-themed toothpicks to give it that extra spooky kick.

Spooky Sandwiches

Ingredients:

- Bread (sliced)
- Sandwich filling (any choice)
- Halloween-themed cookie cutters (metal)
- Condiments

Step by Step:

Spread a layer of filling on the sandwiches. Ensure that the quantity of filling will make the sandwiches stick together and not break up when being cut. Once the sandwich is ready, cut the sides of the sandwich using the cookie cutter. You want to use a cutter made out of metal as the plastic ones usually don't cut thru the contents of the sandwich. If necessary, secure the sandwich with the use of a toothpick.

These are only some of the most magical (and spookiest) foods to provide for witch-inspired parties! Whatever you come up with for this fun event, remember to always have fun with it! Witch costumes for girls are not the only possible way of dressing up. As you can see, you'll also dress up your food. Use your imagination to dress up prepared cupcakes and other nibblies with toy spiders or prepare some scary blood-colored punch for the witch guests to drink, too!
