If you're having a halloween party, or if you want to get yourself in the mood, why not make some of these terrible treats.
They're guaranteed to go down a scream!
|
Witches brew drinks look horrendous but they taste really great.
Start off by decorating a tall glass with a jelly snake, and fill it almost to the top with limeade.
| |
 |
 |
|
Pop in a good dollop of ice cream and watch it fizz!
|
|
Add a dash of strawberry sauce to make it look even more gory. The limeade will fizz even more!
| |
 |
 |
|
Finish off with a straw and drink if you dare!
|
To go with the witches brew drinks, why not make some spider web cakes.
You could buy some plain cakes from a shop, or if you like, why not make your own. Here's our recipe.

 |
|
For the cakes:
150g Softened Butter or margarine
150g caster sugar
2 eggs
150g self raising flour
4 tablespoons milk
For the icing:
115g icing sugar
1 tblspwater
This recipe makes 8-10 little cakes.
To cook, bake in the oven on Gas Mark 4 or 180 degrees for 15 minutes.
Here's the method:
1. Put the butter into a mixing bowl and beat until soft.
2. Add the caster sugar and beat again.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs together and then gradually add them to the mixture in your bowl.
4. Sift in the flour and enough of the milking to make the mixture dropping consistency.
5. Fill the cake cases two thirds with the mixture.
6. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
7. Put on a cooling rack to cool before icing.
8. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl and gently add water drop by drop until the mixture is spoonable.

Once you've got your cakes, ice them with the ordinary white icing.
As you've seen, this is just icing sugar mixed with water.
|
While the white icing is still wet, add a black spiral with some tube icing.
Start in the centre and work your way towards the outside.
| |
 |
 |
|
Now take a cocktail stick, and starting in the centre, drag out the lines to create a web effect.
Finally add a toy spider to finish - but don't eat it!
