Halloween Party IDEAS ((frightful finger foods and devilish drinks)) - PART 2 - HOW TO DETAILS

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!! I know it's hard to tell with our YEARLY ZOMBIE PICS and past HALLOWEEN PARTIES :)

I posted all the pictures from our 2013 Halloween Party but now for some of the details.


((ADULT DRINK))
Classic Spanish Sangria
(base recipe from allrecipes.com but I tweaked it a bit.)

1 lemon
1 lime
1 orange
1 1/2 cups of Spiced rum (sweet not spicey)
1/2 cup of Triple Sec.
1 (750milliliter) bottle of dry red wine (blackberry Merlot the best...super sweet so watch out. Guests might drink a little too much!)
1 cup orange juice
Handful of grapes

Have the fruit, rum, wine and orange juice well chilled. slice the lemon, lime, and orange into thin rounds and place in large container (dispenser or glass pitcher - roaches are optional) Pour in rum and sugar. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.


Table of snack food

Live Worms - cut hotdogs long ways and put in boiling water for just a few minutes. The curl up and look like "worms." I pre-cut the day before but the very last thing I do before guest arrive if put them in the boiling water so they are still warm.

Fluffy Slime Cheesecake - Full tutorial HERE

Vomit Dip - I know, sound delish :) It's cream cheese and salsa mixed together. I think it's 2:1 for cream cheese to salsa. Set cream cheese out to soften. Makes it so much easier to mix together. I make this the day before and store in the fridge.

Bloody Bandages - graham crackers and white and red icing. These can't be made too far in advance because the graham cracker gets soft. 

Dirty Q-tips - I've seen people use pretzels for the stick but I actually used sucker sticks from Michael's and cut them in half. Rolled, squeezed, squashed a mini marshmallow on the end and dipped in melted butterscotch baking chips. YUM! I made these the night before.

Do you remember my Pink Panties or Pink Poodle {{adult drink}} from THIS POST? (end of the post)

Dirty Panties ((ADULT DRINK)) - Sounds gross but for an adult drink I wanted the reaction. :D. So I made PINK PANTIES or PINK POODLE (instructions at the end of the post) and added green food color to make them look dirty. 
You can premake and put them individually in the freeze about an hour or two before the party. I think the whip cream prevents them from freezing all the way.


Gobling Juice - ((KIDS DRINK)) - It's just lemonade with green food color and bug ice cubes. EASY! I add the green food color to the bottles of lemonade the day before and put back in the fridge until the party.

KIDS Halloween PARTY ideas - decorations, food, and games!

Every year we have a Halloween party (except last year since we were moving) and it's always so much fun! I love themed food, planning games and especially decorating. Over the years we've gotten a little more scary but that's the best part!

Here are photos from our last two Halloween parties. Both are very similar but maybe better pics from one or the other so I'm posting both.

GAME IDEAS

Mini powdered donuts on string. Hands behind your back try to see who gets the donut eaten first!

2011
On the table I had mini candy necklace kits to keep kids busy until all the guests arrived.



Donut game again but instead of two at a time we had eight go at a time and then the winners.

Ghost pop! I filled balloons with treats or novelties and with a sharpie made the ghost eyes and mouth. They had to "pop" all the ghosts as fast as they could and get to keep anything inside.


I made this out of small boxes, holes cut out (just small enough for a hand to fit) and covered in black table clothes and spider web. There are 24 holes and about half contained a novelty toy or treat. The rest had cooked spaghetti (felt cold and slimy) :D Brave souls dared to reach in! Mwahahahaha!
