For slimy halloween party treats that are fit for any hungry little monsters, why not have a go at making some of these sour and sweet jellos treats.

How To Make Them

To create these slimy little homemade Halloween treats you will need to make up red and green colored jello.

1. Start by making them up in a heatproof jug by following the instructions on the pack.



2. Depending on which jello you use you may have to darken it slightly with a little food coloring.



3. Allow the jello to start setting, and then transfer to individual containers.



4. Just before the jelo has completely set add some creepy sour snakes or spiders to them, try to make them look as though they are crawling out of the jello for a really grossed out look!

Marshmallow Ghosts

How To Make Them

1. Place the marshmallows on to a tray or plate and place in to the freezer to get really cold.



2. Melt the white chocolate candy in a microwaveable bowl and cook on high until melted, this really won't take very long so keep an eye on it.
   Or
   Gently melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of hot water.



3. Remove the marshmallows from the freezer and push a thin lollipop stick or coffee stirrer into each one



4. Cover each marshmallow with the melted chocolate candy making sure your melted chocolate isn't too hot or it will melt your marshmallows. If you find the chocolate is too hot place the marshmallows back into the freezer until the chocolate has cooled as the marshmallows are much easier to work with when cold.

Healthy Apple Halloween Mouths

For quick healthy halloween treats with a bit of bite why not try having a go at these apple mouths. All you need are a few apples and some slivered almonds.

 

 

How To Make Them

• To make these healthy Halloween snacks you will need to wash, core and quarter the apples.



• Cut a good chunky wedge out of each apple quarter and push the slivered almonds in for teeth.



• As you know apples do have a tendency to go brown once cut, so if you are not going to be eating them straightaway, you will need to baste them with orange juice and store them in a dark and air tight container.

• Light coloured jelly (jam) such as apricot or apple
• Green food colouring
• Sour snakes or creepy sweets
• Sour wands or candy cables

 

How To Make Them

 

1. Depending on the size of the muffins you are using you will need on average about 1 teaspoon of jelly per muffin, so when you've worked out how much you will need add a few drops of green food colouring to it.



2. Slice the dome top of the muffins and spread with the jelly (jam)



3. Add the sour sweets as though they are crawling out of the jelly, then finish by pushing the candy cable in to the muffins to make the handle.

Ghostly Halloween Cup Cakes
