The Spider Eggs and Hardboiled Ghosts

This Halloween treat is really cool and fit just right for the theme of the occasion. Living On A Dime suggests this recipe where one needs some hardboiled eggs and black olives. For the spider eggs, you simply need to cut the black olives into two, with one of the half placed upside down on top of the egg, and the other half cut into strips to resemble the legs of the spiders. For the hardboiled ghosts, use a food-grade marker to draw the eyes and mouth on the eggs.

The Scary Apple Slice Mouth

For this recipe, you are going to need marshmallows, apples, and a binding agent like a caramel or peanut butter. Simply slice your red apple into thin slices and apply the binder on one side to make the marshmallows stick. Put the mini marshmallows on the apple slice and line them up to resemble teeth. Lastly, put another slice on top to complete the mouth. You can also check out this YouTube video on how to make the apple slice mouth.
