Halloween Goodies

All month we have been trying to decide what to make in the kitchen for Halloween. We ended up with some very cute, pretty easy and tasty treats! 
First we made Bloodshot Deviled Eyeballs 

Boiled eggs as normal 

After we cooled the eggs we added 1 tablespoon of vinegar and LOTS of red die to the water. We gently cracked the eggs while leaving the shell intact. 
 Remove the shells and you will have "bloodshot" eggs
Cut the eggs in half and remove yolk - Make your favorite deviled egg recipe. We used this one from  Paula Deen. Add a little blue or green food coloring to the mix to give it color. 


 Fill eggs with mixture and add an olive slice with a pimento. For the Bloodshot look on this side of the egg we used food decorating gel. 




We also made these adorable doughnut hole pops! Bloodshot Eyeballs on a Fork! 
Start with store bought doughnut holes, white chocolate chips and red frosting.
We were in a time crunch and didn't get a photo of covering the doughnut holes but just put a fork in the doughnut hole and cover it with melted white chocolate. Put a dark chocolate chip in backwards for the pupil.
Decorate the lines with red frosting. 

We also made Frankenstein marshmallow pops! 

This was our final table... (please excuse the Styrofoam containers...)



 We made name flags for everyone's drinks with black ribbon, paint pen, googley eyes and super glue. 
 Spiked Jell-O Brain with additional Jell-O shots 

It was a great day in the kitchen yesterday and everything was a big hit! 
Enjoy!
