So, you have put up your scariest Halloween decorations around the house, the children’s spookiest costumes are ready and now all you have to do is prepare the food for the party. But, wait. Since you have taken so much trouble over your decorations and costumes, don’t you want to learn about really gross recipes for Halloween? Recipes that will be in keeping with the Halloween theme instead of the normal, bland presentation of food? Well, if you are interested, here are some gross Halloween recipes to add to the scary atmosphere of your evening!

The more disgusting-looking the better, and what better way to begin than by tweaking the appetizer a little bit to get that horrendous green color! The ‘Booger on a Stick” requires 8 ounces cheese whiz jars, some green food coloring and pretzel sticks. The cheese has to be melted first (melting it in a microwave will be quick and easy) and then cooled for sometime. Then add a few drops (about 3-4 drops) of the green food coloring and watch the cheese turn green. Lastly, dip the pretzel sticks in the gooey green cheese mixture and your starter is ready to be smeared around the children’s mouths.

Another really simple yet frightening looking starter is the Bloody Popcorn. You can get ready made packets of popcorn with butter and microwave it. After it is made, just sprinkle a generous amount of chili powder on top of it and mix it well. Be careful, don’t go overboard with the chili-you do want your guests to have a good time also!

Coca-cola, milk shakes somehow do not go with ghosts and ghouls. What about some Vampire’s Blood Shake to quench the thirst of all those little ghouls in the house?! Simply get 2 cups of plain yoghurt, 1 packet of frozen strawberries, and 1 pint of strawberry ice-cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend everything except the strawberry ice-cream in a blender. Then pour in tall glasses over ice cubes and top it with a large scoop of strawberry ice-cream and let everyone pretend that they are vampires drinking someone’s blood!

Now, we come to the main course. Unlike normal human beings, witches and ghosts do not like eating ordinary food. To please them you have to prepare something really gruesome and Brain cell and Fluid fits the bill perfectly. The brain fluid will be Blueberry jello, so, stock it in your larder along with a small carton of cottage cheese representing brain matter. A can of blueberries in syrup and a bottle of food coloring, and you are all set.

First, make the jello and put it to set and chill. Next, put cottage cheese in a medium bowl and add the blueberries from the can (after draining it) to it. Mix carefully and then add some food coloring. For serving, put some Jello on a plate, sprinkle some of the blueberry syrup on it (a fair amount) and then place the cheesy blueberry mixture on the top. Let the guests drool over the gross main course.

These gross recipes for Halloween should put you right in the mood to enjoy an exciting night!
