13 scary holiday recipes

Halloween is one of the most ancient holidays. According to the beliefs of the Celts, who then inhabited the territory of modern Ireland, the year consisted of two times: summer and winter. The end of the harvest meant the end of summer and was celebrated on October 31st. On the night of November 1, the new year began, and winter came into its possession.

According to ancient legends, on this night the border between two worlds opened: the world of the living and the world of the dead. To scare away evil spirits, pagans lit bonfires on the street, wore animal skins and decorated their heads with animal heads. This is where the tradition of dressing up in scary costumes came from.

What to cook for Halloween

Halloween is approaching, and perhaps you've already thought about throwing a scary party for the occasion. Of course, not only the costumes, but also the food should be Halloween-appropriate. So, what scary things can you prepare for this unusual night? Below are a few ideas you might like.

Nest with rotten eggs

  • Ingredients:
  • chicken eggs
  • salted herring fillet
  • mayonnaise
  • salt and spices to taste
  • balsamic vinegar
  • lettuce leaves
  • chokeberry or coffee

  • A very simple and cheap dish, the main ingredient of which is eggs. So, first of all, boil the eggs hard. Let cool.
  • To make a rotten pattern on eggs, proceed as follows:
    1. Break the eggshell so that there are many cracks. We do not peel off the shell itself.
    2. Boil the eggs for a couple of minutes in chokeberry juice or in regular strong coffee. The stronger the solution, the darker the stains on the eggs will be.
    3. Take out the eggs. Carefully peel the shells off the cooled eggs. A dark net remains on the squirrel.
  • Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks. Grind the yolks with mayonnaise, add finely chopped salted herring fillets.
  • Stuff the eggs with the resulting filling. We combine the stuffed rugs to make “whole” eggs.
  • We make a nest from red lettuce or any other one. Place a spoonful of mayonnaise in the center of the nest and pour Modena balsamic vinegar over it. We put “rotten” eggs in this slurry.
  • For greater naturalness, the composition can be supplemented with “worms”, which are cut from herring fillets. That's it, your "ghoulish" Halloween snack is ready!

  • Grind one small onion on a fine grater and add it to the minced meat.
  • Add salt, pepper, spices, and a spoonful of mayonnaise to the minced meat. Mayonnaise is needed so that the minced meat “moulds well and keeps its shape.” Mix everything thoroughly.
  • On a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil, place the minced meat in the shape of a human hand.
  • Take a second onion (small size), remove one onion layer. From this layer we cut out the nails with scissors and attach them to the fingers. We put the onion itself into the hand, creating the appearance of a bone.
  • Place the baking sheet in a well-heated oven. Bake the hand in the oven for 20 minutes at 200°C.
  • Beat the egg. To give the color a reddish tint, add ketchup to the beaten egg.

30.10.2016

On the night of October 31st to November 1st, Halloween is celebrated. And although it obviously has mystical roots, today everything is much simpler. This is a holiday of mischief, buffoonery and... childhood. After all, never again will people eat so much candy and make so many incredibly beautiful and very sweet desserts, extort candy from their neighbors and don’t wear creepy costumes to drive away death. Sweets are a guide to childhood. Try carving pumpkins and cooking something traditional – it’s very tasty! And if you’ve never tried it before, it’s also educational.

A little history

When the British began settling America in the 1600s, they brought Halloween traditions with them. Not as popular as they are now, Halloween traditions grew in the New World but did not become popular until the early 20th century, when the modern version of the holiday emerged.

Culinary traditions have been preserved to this day. And their main component is sweets. Candy, sweet corn, pumpkins, apples - this is what Americans eat on Halloween. Of course, they are complemented by modern dishes like witch fingers cookies, cupcakes with cute bat figurines and millions of versions of bloody drinks. But we will only focus on the traditional table.

Sweet bread Barmbrek

Barmbrek – barley butter bread with raisins and dried apricots. It is the central candy in the Irish version of Halloween. It is also called “Bread of All Saints” and is used for fortune telling games. A stick, a silver coin, a ring, or a piece of cloth is placed into one or more loaves. Each item symbolizes something - from misfortune and poverty to wealth and marriage next year.

Caramel apples

One of the most popular desserts has two types: soft caramel and sugar hard caramel. Try both at once!

Use Fuji and Granny Smith varieties: firm, crisp and tart. They go well with sweet caramel and hold their shape at high temperatures.

Apples in sugar caramel (Candy apples) appeared more than a hundred years ago by pure chance. One American confectioner, William Kolb, was looking for ways to sell more red cinnamon caramel in 1908. And he came up with the idea that you could dip apples in it and then sell them on a stick. It is bright, beautiful and very fabulous. Within a couple of years, apples in a red glossy crust became the number one autumn sweet, especially on Halloween.

You can see how to make these caramel apples in the Mozart Cake recipe. Pierre Herme. Add a little red or black food coloring to the caramel and your apples will become a "terribly beautiful" decoration for your Halloween table.

Apples in soft caramel (Caramel/ Toffy apples). Wrapped in what we used to call “toffee,” they appeared much later. They were invented by Kraft Foods employee Dan Walker in the 1950s. Like the candy version, this one was invented during experiments with sweets for sale on Halloween. He simply melted soft caramel and dipped the apples in it - that's the whole story.

Bonfire toffee (tempered caramel)

This caramel is prepared on the basis of molasses - dark molasses. It is a hard, bitter candy strongly associated with Halloween and Bonfire Night in the UK. It is more of a lollipop than a soft chewy candy.

Soul cake – small round biscuits very popular in Britain. It is baked on Halloween to be given to children and the poor in exchange for a promise to pray for the dead. Today this tradition is not as common as "sweets in exchange for wishes", but it is known in Portugal and north-east England.

Cookies are usually made from shortcrust pastry and add cinnamon, ginger, and raisins. Before baking, a cross is drawn on the cookies. It is traditionally served with a glass of wine.

Must be original and intimidating. Making them is not very difficult. However, when preparing such delicacies you will have to show all your creative imagination. After all, this is the only way to make unusual desserts that all your invited guests will appreciate.

Cookies "Witch's fingers"

Witch finger Halloween treats are a classic of the genre. And if you have never tried making such a dessert, then we will present its recipe in more detail.

So, we need:

  • white flour - about 3 cups;
  • softened butter - about 230 g;
  • medium-sized sugar - a glass;
  • fresh large egg - 1 pc.;
  • baking powder - a small spoon;
  • salt - 2/3 of a small spoon;
  • vanillin - a small bag;
  • whole peeled almonds - 10-30 pcs.;
  • red jam - several large spoons.

Knead the dough

The Halloween treats for which we are reviewing recipes are a pleasure to prepare. Such desserts are made very quickly, but they turn out incredibly beautiful and original. Before baking the Witch's Fingers cookies, you should knead the base. To do this, you need to soften the cooking fat, beat it together with sugar and egg, and then add baking powder, vanillin and salt. After obtaining a homogeneous mass, add white flour and knead the elastic dough.

Correctly forming and baking dessert

Having made the sand base, you should immediately begin shaping the cookies. To do this, you need to pinch off a piece of dough and roll it into a sausage that is as close as possible to the size and shape of a real human finger. If necessary, several grooves can be made on the products to imitate folds. You should also place whole peeled almonds on one end of the cookie. In this form, all the cookies need to be moved to a baking sheet and baked in the oven for half an hour. During this time, the “fingers” will be completely cooked and will become rosy and crispy.

Decorating the dessert

Homemade Halloween treats always turn out not only very beautiful, but also delicious. After all, such desserts are prepared without various additives and dyes.

After the Witch's Fingers are completely baked, they should be removed and cooled. Next, you need to carefully remove the almonds, grease the attachment point with red jam and reinstall the “nut-nail”. It is also recommended to color the other end of the cookie. As a result, you should get a very tasty and terrifying delicacy that quite closely resembles the severed fingers of a witch.

Original dessert “Cemetery land”

How to make unusual treats for Halloween?

Recipes for such delicacies may involve the use of completely different components. To make a dessert called “Cemetery Ground”, you need to stock up on the following ingredients:

  • ready-made mixture for making chocolate pudding or chocolate jelly - at your discretion;
  • chocolate cookies (very dark) - 300 g;
  • chewing worms - 10-20 pcs.

Cooking process

Graveyard Halloween Halloween treats are pretty easy to make. First you need to prepare jelly using a ready-made mixture. Next, it should be poured into small bowls (it is recommended to fill the containers 2/3 full) and wait until it hardens completely. After this, you need to grind the dark chocolate cookies to crumbs and place them on top of the pudding. Finally, the dessert needs to be decorated so that it seems that they are literally crawling out of the cemetery soil.

Making “Monster Eyes”

Simple Halloween treats require readily available ingredients. To make an original dessert called “Eyes of the Monster” in a matter of minutes, we will need:

  • round chocolate cookies with a white layer - about 300 g;
  • red jam - a few spoons;
  • multi-colored M&M's candies - pack.

Cooking method

Monster Eyes Halloween Treats are pretty easy to make.

For this we need dark chocolate cookies, which should be divided into two parts. On the one where the white layer remains, you need to stick an M&M’s candy with the lettering facing down. After this, the “whites of the eyes” need to be painted with red jam, which will imitate blood vessels. At the end, the dessert must be kept in the cold, and then beautifully placed on a plate and served along with tea.

As for the half of the cookie where there is no white cream left, it can be used to make a delicacy called “Cemetery Ground”.

Preparing the “Witch’s Broom” delicacy

DIY Halloween treats are pretty easy to make. If you want to get an original sweet dish, but you don’t have time to cook it for a long time, then we suggest using the recipe described below.

For this we need:

  • salted straw - a small pack;
  • chocolate candies with a ribbed surface (it is advisable to purchase round ones) - 10-20 pcs.

How to cook?

Treats made from sweets are the simplest and most delicious. To make a witch's broom, turn the ribbed treat over and then poke a small hole in the center with a toothpick. After this, we place a salted straw in it. This should be done extremely carefully, especially if the candy is filled with liquid filling.

To make the formed dessert look as much like a witch’s broom as possible, it is recommended to additionally coat it with chocolate glaze. To do this, melt one of the candies in the microwave and then apply it to the treat using a pastry brush.

If you decide to prepare such an extraordinary dish as a gift or treat it to invited guests, then you don’t have to remove the wrapper from the sweets. However, in this case, you should no longer grease them with glaze.

Dessert “Cockroaches”

Now you know how to make Halloween treats. At the end of this article, I would like to present to your attention another original dessert called “Cockroaches”. For it we will need:

  • dates - 10-30 pcs.;
  • milk or dark chocolate - 3 bars;
  • cherry cuttings - depending on the amount of dessert (not necessary);
  • peeled roasted walnuts - 100 g.

Forming "cockroaches"

To make this intimidating delicacy, you should wash the dates in advance and then remove the pit from them. Instead, it is recommended to place a small fried piece of walnut in dried fruits. Also, cuttings from cherries should be inserted into the dates, which will imitate the whiskers of cockroaches.

The process of decorating sweet "cockroaches"

To make such a dessert more tasty and original, it should be additionally dipped in it. It is done as follows: the milk delicacy is broken into slices, and then placed in a ceramic or glass bowl and melted in the microwave. After this, 2/3 of the date is dipped into the warm glaze, which is subsequently placed in the refrigerator. When the chocolate has completely hardened, the dried fruits can be safely placed in a bowl and served along with tea.
