WhiteOak's Witches Brew Recipes

WhiteOak's Witches Brew: I am a tea drinker!  A day does not go by that I do not drink tea and in the summer it is usually Green Tea.  So I was thinking, why couldn’t I make a Black Witches Brew and turn it into a punch?  So this is my Witches Brew concoction.  What is better in the autumn than those rich, spices and those tart apples?

How to make your witches brew look even more ghoulish!

-Fill an ice tray with a gummy worm and water freeze and add to brews.  As the ice melts, it will let the worms loose and free to roam!!

-To add a floating hand, fill a latex glove with water and tie off with a knot or rubber band then freeze. After the hand is frozen, run under a little warm water to loosen and remove the latex glove. Add to brew!!  

-To make your brew glow add glow sticks as your swizzle sticks. 

-One of the cutest things to do but it is time-consuming is to peel grapes and freeze them. After they are frozen add to the brew... while they melt, the slimy texture will fill the cauldron and as the peeled grapes go into your mouth... the slime will feel like an eyeball!!

Halloween Spooky Food Ideas

It's Halloween and you are preparing for a party.  You know you have to create a potion, something dark, something sweet and something to indulge in.  All of a sudden you begin to look around in your magical cabinets and you begin to put together a Midnight Punch.

Midnight Punch

When it is time to for the party to begin; add the club soda and the  frozen blueberry cubes to the punch.  Stir gently and serve.

WhiteOaks Halloween Goodies:  Celebrating Halloween today is different than when I was a child. Not many children go out trick or treating. In my area, the children gather uptown and go from store to store to collect their goodies. So, I came up with some goodies for children to make. Being at home does not need to be boring, you can hold a Halloween-Themed night and the whole family can have fun together.

Witches Log Snacks:  When we look through our pantries often we will have little bits and pieces of things left over but not enough for a full recipe. So we store these items. Often  cereal is one of the ingredients. If you use your imagination, the cereal could be turned into a yummy treat just by adding a few extra ingredients.  This is how I created the "Witches Logs"

Bewitching Minty Cakes : This is a cute little recipe that would be great for a Halloween Party. By making them into mini cupcakes, you will get a lot for your money, less calories and carbs and plus they are divine if you enjoy mint and chocolate together!
