Strawberries dipped in white chocolate turn into spooky strawberries! (via Caniquik)
There’s a worm in my drink
Offer your guests a drink with some ice and see if they notice they also got a worm! (via Instructables)
Don’t drink the punch
Freeze a rubber glove filled with water and put it in the punch bowl – it will scare your guests and keep the punch cool! (via Workman)
The poisonous apple
With a dash of black food colouring you will turn your apples from nice to a naughty treat. (via Simply Delicious)
Creepy cookies

Grab a burger
Fill up your ghosts and zombies with a yummy burger. Just cut some shapes out of the cheese to give it a Halloween twist. (via Crafty Morning)
No cooking required
