Hello and welcome to my Halloween web page. Are you ready for some Halloween fun?
I have got a lot for you to enjoy. So we had better get started.
2 c Butter 1 c Sugar 4 Eggs beaten 2 tsp Almond flavoring (optional) 5 c Flour 1/4 tsp Salt Almonds blanched or unblanched red Jelly Cream butter, add sugar and cream until light. Add eggs and flavoring. Sift flour and salt together and add to first mixture. Mix well. The dough is piped (use a bag without any tip to get a finger sized cylinder) onto the cookie sheet. Then using the dull side of a butter knife make lines suggesting knuckle and wrinkles, and add an almond for the fingernail. Bake at 350 for 8 to 12 minutes. You can add a bit of red icing or red jelly if you want a bloody finger. This gives a new twist to the term "finger foods".

Add marshmallow mixture to cereal mixture; stir quickly to combine. Spread on a large buttered pan; press with buttered hands. While warm, press on candy pumpkins spaced 1 to 1/2-2 inches apart. Refrigerate and cut into squares.
Well now that you have got your recipes for your trick or treaters you better get them a costume ready. Inexpensive Costumes
this is always an inexpensive costume. Just cut holes in an old sheet. If you don't have an old one, We cut holes in it, drew on some chains, spider web, etc.. with a permanent marker. Bum or Hobo: Old clothes, dad's garden or old work clothes are great, old hat, use watercolor paint to put beard on him.
Use a sheet like for the ghost, spray it lightly with some clear spray paint and toss glitter on it before the paint has a chance to dry. Make a halo and the wings out of clothes hangers covered with aluminum foil.
Okay now we have the treats and costumes ready it's time to decorate.
Very easy for kids of all ages Materials Tissue paper or Kleenex tissues String or thread Black marker Have kids wad up balls of tissue to form a ball. Form a full piece of tissue around the wadded up ball. Tie off with a string or thread. Draw on eyes with the marker. Hang from ceiling fans and watch them go!
Materials Balloons White plastic garbage bags Black marker String Scissors Masking tape Instructions Cover inflated balloons with the white plastic garbage bags. Gather the bags under each balloon and tie off to form a head with the a piece of string. Draw a face on the bag with markers. Tape another piece of string to the top of the head to hang!! Great for outside since they are waterproof!!
Materials Newspaper Wallpaper paste Balloon Paint (optional) String for hanging Drop cloth, bowl, scissors Instructions
Take strips of newspaper and soak in wallpaper paste. Use to cover top half or so of blown up balloon. Do just a few layers and let dry over night. Then add more layers. Let dry. Remove balloon (burst if necessary) and get BIG sheets of paper (whole sheets from a newspaper work). Soak the whole sheet and drape over the shell you have made, letting it fall in folds. You will have to have the shell you made held off the surface you are working on by putting something like a 2-liter soda bottle under it. Let the sheet dry and maybe add another top. Paint the finished work white or with luminous paints and cut out or paint eyes - - there, a ghost!!
