This tasty snack is made up of the following ingredients: ketchup, sausage and almonds. First cook the sausages, after slicing a piece in each, so that it is hollow to put an almond-shaped nail. Yellowing and wrinkled shape of almonds will give more accuracy and crisp taste to dish. Lastly add ketchup to the opposite end of the nail to make the fingers seem they are bloodied.

Despite its name, this ingenious snack consists of stuffed olives, ketchup, and half an egg. Just cook the egg, split it up in half, then set a slice of stuffed olive in, which will work as an eye pupil, and finally add ketchup to resemble veins bloodied eye.

You need 12 oz. of sweet vanilla, cut into pieces, which you’ll use to make the white coating cookie. On the other hand a package of peanut butter cookies and a package of chocolate chips to make the shape of the eyes and mouth.
First, you have to melt the caramel vanilla over a low heat in a small saucepan. Then you have to put it on each of the cookies, and then put them in the oven and leave there for 5 min. When it finishes, you must put chocolate chips on cookies in order to create ghostly eyes and mouth. Finally leave them again in the oven for 5 min. and you will have your ghostly cookies ready.

For this dessert you only need Oreo cookies, black liquorice and M&Ms. It’s as easy as cutting eight small pieces of liquorice, open the Oreo, and place four pieces on each side and you have your Halloween spiders!
In order to make the spiders’ eyes, you can take the white cream inside the Oreo Cookie to produce small shaped eyeballs, you can also use M&Ms or candy balls for eyes and seeds for pupils’ eye. You have many possibilities, in terms of colours, flavours and shapes, so feel free to create the sweetest and terrifying spiders’ Oreo.
5. Bloody ghastly cocktail

Having done everything previously, perhaps you have wondered what to serve to drink? Here we put forward a solution because surely this beverage is the simplest, considering that it gives the appearance of blood to this drink, so… that’s exactly why you can use different drinks such as red wine or red fruits’ juice. You are able to give a more viscous appearance adding small strips of red gelatine to this drink.
Do not forget to give it more credibility! You can add a hand of ice to the beverage. To create the ice hand is as easy as putting a latex glove with cold water in the freezer, wait for it to freeze and that’s done! You have a ghostly hand in the drink.
