We aare having a party on Halloween and I am making Old Lady Finger breadsticks. I bought some fake cut of fingers that I am going to mingle in with the others. My hope is that someone will grab it and get a good laugh. I am interested to see what others have to say so that I might borrow their ideas and use at the party also.
we have a lot of fun on Halloween. We have had a couple parties which have been great. I am always amazed at the creative costumes that people come up with.
A couple years ago when I was pregnant and not up for a party we decorated our two car garage into a hauted house of sorts. We hung lots of cheap black plastic to create kind of a tunnel for kids to walk through and we had all kinds of "creeps" dressed up. Most of the monsters were just clothes that we had stuffed and added masks, but my husband dressed in a green coverall and scary clown mask and carried a crowbar around (he painted the end of it red) He would sit on a bench in the tunnel and just sit there for little kids but if bigger kids came through he would either jump up at them or come up behind them and scare them. It was a lot of fun. We even had one of our friends lay on the floor and we drew a chalk line around him.
This year with a little one we will probabbly just trick or treat, but I have thought about "Boo"ing people. When you leave treats at thier door. There are lots of poems out there to use when you "Boo"
Here are a couple of recipes my Girl Scouts love when we host our Spooktacular. We also make doughnuts from scratch-girls are amazed to learn that doughnut holes turn themselves in hot oil!
Eyeballs
1 � c peanut butter � c margarine
1 t vanilla 16 oz confectioner�s sugar
Mix and form into balls. Refrigerate overnight.
2 T Crisco 12 oz white chocolate chips
Melt chocolate and dip balls into melted chocolate using a toothpick.
Place on wax paper to cool. While warm, place one M&M on eyeball.
Decorate with red gel for veins.
Kitty Litter Cake
boxed chocolate cake mix 12 small tootsie rolls
boxed yellow cake mix NEW kitty little box
1 package white sandwich cookie NEW kitty litter scoop
green food coloring NEW kitty little liner
Large box of pudding
Make cake mixes and let cool. Pan size/shape doesn't matter as you will be crumbling
them. Make pudding when cakes are done and chill until cakes are cooled. Break cakes
up into small chunks. Crumble cookies a few at a time in food processor. Take about
� c and add a few drops of green food coloring to look like the chlorophyll in litter.
Mix cakes and half of uncolored cookies with enough pudding to hold it. Do not use
all of the pudding, the cake will get soggy. Line new kitty litter box with liner and fill
with cake, cookie, and pudding mixture. Spread level.
Warm tootsie rolls in microwave for 10-15 seconds. Roll ends to look tapered. Put on
top of cake. I leave one hanging over the edge for effect.
Sprinkle with cookies then with green cookies. Place on newspaper and sprinkle a few
crumbs on the paper. Serve with litter scoop.
Your guests will ask for the recipe
BAT POOP
I hear that you've been playing tricks,
So listen, here's the scoop...
I'm running short on candy treats,
So this year you get Bat Poop!!!
Use raisins; licorice, root beer or other dark jelly beans; chocolate covered peanuts (you get the idea!) and put them in a little bag, a cellophane cone bag would be PERFECT for this! Then attach this poem to the bag.
These would be great little party favors for kids' Halloween parties, or if you make smaller bags, you can give them to the trick-or-treaters in your neighboorhood.
Here's a different version of a poem to use:
BAT POOP
Furry Little bats,
They don't like cats.
They fly at night,
They are a sight.
They come and go by the moonlight.
So.....
Beware of where you step~
BAT POOP!!!

Oh I had so much fun BOOing friends last year. Here are my flyers I made...
This sounds like fun. I have never heard of this before. I saw something at Target about it but didn't read it all the way thru. I will have to start this in my neighborhood. When do you typically start this...a week before Halloween?
When I was little people did cold SPAGHETTI noodles for BRAINS, peeled grapes for EYEBALLS and we used to have to stick our little hands in the bowl to get our treat. EW!

When I did ours, I started about 2 weeks before Halloween because we have a big street - I also did two to help it get around to the most people!
Thanks...I can't believe that I have never heard of this before. Definitely something I will start here. If I could only decide on what kinds of Halloween treats to make for my kids classmates. I keep changing my mind when I see new posts.

Booing: I didn't start it... I just joined in. Can't remember how early it began... but it always heats up a week before. The hardest part is finding a house that hasn't been boo'd in my 'hood! Maybe I will start it this year...
Treats for classmates--I decided to do the sour_cream_container... here are a few I was going to CASE:
How About Halloween TRICKS?
