5 original recipes for Halloween
- Breakfast with a skeleton
You can start the day of Halloween surprising them with this terrifying breakfast.
Ingredients: eggs, ketchup, mustard.
Method: place a little oil in a non-stick frying pan. You need to cook the egg so the edge doesn’t become crispy, like a grilled egg. A tip: only add the egg white at first and when it has come together slightly, add the yolk, not in the middle but near to one of the edges so it becomes the head of our skeleton. Remove the egg from the heat and draw the eyes and mouth in the yolk using ketchup. Use the mustard for the body. Another option is to leave the yolk in the middle, draw some feet and add a few slices of black olives to make a fun and nutritious egg in the shape of a spider.
- Bleeding fingers
Ingredients: Frankfurt sausages, flaked almonds, ketchup.
Method: cut the sausages in the middle trying to make the cut uneven. Make an incision at the end which hasn’t been cut to insert a flaked almond that will be a nail. With a knife, cut the sausage, imitating the lines of the fingers. Spread ketchup on the end opposite the nail.
- Ghost bananas
Ingredients: bananas, white chocolate for melting, dark chocolate drops, ice cream sticks.
Method: Cut the banana into four pieces (in half and also lengthways). Place the ice cream sticks into the bottom. Melt the white chocolate, immerse the bananas, position chocolate drops to make the eyes and leave them to cool in the fridge so they harden.
- Ghost cupcakes
Ingredients: cupcakes (normal or mini size), white fondant icing, icing sugar, dessert food colouring (black), rolling pin.
Method: We can buy pre-made cupcakes so the recipe is easier to make. For the covering, we will use white fondant icing. Roll out a small amount of fondant icing using the rolling pin, a job that children love. Prevent the fondant icing from sticking to the worktop or onto the rolling pin by sprinkling some icing sugar onto both surfaces. Cover each cupcake with the piece of fondant icing and shape it into a ghost. Make two small fondant balls for the eyes and paint the pupils with food colouring. Children will love them!
- Spiders with cereals
Ingredients: chocolate cereals, marshmallows, small pretzels, dark or milk chocolate for melting, white chocolate for melting, black edible food pen (for the eyes)
Method: Crush the cereals. Melt the marshmallows in the microwave and mix them with the cereals. The same quantity should be used of both ingredients. Mould the dough to form cookies. Place a stick in each one and bathe them in melted chocolate. For the eyes, melt some white chocolate, stick them to the spider’s body and draw a black dot in the middle using the edible food pen. Cut the pretzel to make the feet and insert them onto both sides of the spider. We can also use the white chocolate to draw some fangs onto the chocolate spider.
