Halloween party food, oh please

I know there was a halloween thread recently but I am too knackered to find it and I think it was mostly games not food. I would be most enormously grateful for some good ideas. So far I have thought of:
Cocktail sauasages (no particular reason)
Jellies with jelly spiders / snakes
satsumas (as being orange and looking a bit like pumpkins)
Wotsits (orange and not much like pumpkins)
Fairy cakes iced to look like er pumpkins.
And then my brain goes blank - I can't read all those accounts of parties on that American site, they make me exhausted.
It all needs to be pre-prepared as no cooking facilities at venue...

Some recipes here - most look like a bit of work (note the Annabel Karmel link), but almost all do-able in advance.

Cocktail sausages -Are witches noses
Teeth sweets.

Ooh - just found a recipe for 'Snot cubes' :

Ingredients:
Yellow and green jelly

Directions:
Mix up jelly according to the packet instructions and freeze in flexible ice cube trays. Turn out into bowls to serve.

NB: You can turn these into "worms in snot cubes" by putting a gummy worm into each ice cube before it sets!

Depends how much you like/want to cook but our local supermarket has some great halloween fairy cakes in and also some orange covered choc biscs with green slime stuff inside - hmmm - nice! Will look good to the kids....

Stuff tinned lychees with tinned strawberries and add to green jelly....eyeballs in slime.

Ah, thanks both, not sure any child in its right mind would eat those deadman's finger sandwiches but perhaps the tombstone ones and there are some good fairy cake ideas. The faux pumpkin jellies also interesting although quite fiddly; I can see me sobbing late at night as i try to cut out thsoe little eyes and noses...

chocolate truffle spiders-same old base as normal rum truffles-cake crumbs ,vermicelli etc) then add liquorice legs.

Am liking the snotcubes and eyeballs - would break up the otherwise overwhelming pumpkin theme I had going...

Oooh and the spiders. I offered to make a ghost train (train being my most successful ever cake) and Ds has indicated he would prefer a Scooby Doo cake from supermarket; this leaves me unexpected wealth of time and creative energy to devote to snotcubes etc.

Make some oranges into 'mini pumpkins' and fill them with green jelly!
you can get black or orange fool colouring for icing the top of sponge buns then use a contrasting colour to draw webs and add jelly spiders...

SpookyMadMummy · 07/10/2006 23:14

food colouring of course...
