WELCOME TO QUICK TIP TUESDAY'S HALLOWEEN EDITION  Halloween is frighteningly close, and thoughts of scary costumes and sweet treats will soon become a priority. Halloween parties come in all sizes and varieties, from kids Trick-or-Treat nights, to full blown Witches & Warlock Conventions.  As with any party, the food you serve, and how you display it, is a huge part of what makes a party a success. Forget simple platters and bowls, and go for out of the ordinary and interesting, with a bit of spooky. A birdcage makes a great display for appetizers. Add parsley for greenery along with black ravens and you have a delightfully scary dish to display.  Turn simple crackers and cheese into
Halloween happiness. Use mini cookie cutters in shapes like ghosts,
bats, pumpkins and more, to create holiday shaped meats, cheeses and
fruits. Use pimento and black olives for designing the faces. A great
idea for both adult as well as kids parties.  Turn refrigerated breadsticks into fun and yummy Mummy Wraps. Brush lightly with seasoned butter and add cloves for eyes.  Turn everyday cheese balls into flavorful pumpkins of fun with Dorito chips, black olives for the face, and a dill pickle for the stem.  Looking for more formal ways to entertain your guests? These Pear Ghosts take only 30 mins to make, yet will make a lasting sweet impression on guests. (Click photo for recipe) There are literally hundreds of ways of creating fun, flavorful, and creative treats for your guests. The TRICK is to think outside the box, in order to create a TREAT that guests will remember, long after the Halloween Magic is gone.  |
