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!!
Throwing a Goth Theme Party: I seriously believe that a Gothic Halloween Party theme could actually be the same as the Twilight Halloween Party Theme.So why did I create different recipes?Oh, well… because it is fun to do, I guess!
I love the Goth Culture. I have had friends all over the country that I met via the net and in person. I love the style, the uniqueness and the individuality of Goth’s. I find them stylish in a very unique way.
Okay, so here it is... if you are going to sit and watch a good Goth-themed movie, concert, have a party or just freaking want to hang out.. here is a great little snack you can enjoy!!
Fang-licious Popcorn
Pop some popcorn and allow it to cool in a large bowl. In a double broiler melt some dark chocolate pieces. Drizzle chocolate over popcorn and mix well so most of the popcorn is chocolate covered.
Lay the popcorn out on a parchment lined cookie sheet and by using a tube of red gel cake frosting, drizzle sparingly over chocolate covered popcorn. Place into the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened.
The Fang-licious Cone Holders for Popcorn:
Cut a piece of black card-stock in half and fold into the shape of a cone. Staple or tape it together to hold its shape. Make some parchment paper cones a little smaller than the card stock cones by using the same method except tape together and fold the tip of the cone up and tape securely. Make sure the parchment paper cones fit snuggly into the cardstock cones. Once the chocolate on the popcorn has hardened, break apart and fill the fang-licious cone holders.
I am telling you.. this is a really cool thing to do and yummy at that!!
Bloody Sparkling Punch
Mix together:
Can of Cherry Fruit Juice
Pint of orange sherbet
Add some thin slices of oranges and maraschino cherries
Right before you get ready to serve the punch Add
7-up or club soda (depends on the sweetness of the juice)
This is just optional:
Dampen the rim of the glass with either a little water or some of the punch. Add some edible white glitter in a saucer and twist rim of glass in it. This will add a little more sparkle.
Seasonings of your choice, I use black pepper and Ms. Dash Table Blend
Mix everything together and make sure the mixture is damp but not soaked.
Next:
Take a dampened towel and wipe off some mushroom caps. I actually do this in advance and use the slices to chop up in the mixture. But slice a little off of the top of the mushroom so it sits flat on a cookie sheet. Fill each cap with some mixture and sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
