Halloween is here!

While you’re feasting on pumpkin soup and all forms of sugar from trick or treating, make sure to schedule in some on-theme snacks, too.

I’ve got you covered, with recipes for creepy crumpet pizzas, ghostly peppers, and witches’ brooms.

Not only do they look wonderfully spooky, they also taste great – and are easy enough to make that you can get the kids involved in the prep.

Here’s how to make these Halloween treats.

Creepy crumpet pizzas

Ingredients:

• Crumpets
• Marinara sauce
• Mozarella cheese
• Corn
• Black olives

Method:

1. Toast the crumpet and top with tomato sauce
2. Sprinkle cheese and corn on top then put under the grill
3. Cut olives in half – one half forms the body of the spider, the other can be cut into legs

Ghostly peppers

Ingredients:

• Baby sweet peppers
• Egg (whisked)
• Cheese (grated)
• Candy eyes

Method:

1. Cut peppers in half and fill with whisked egg
2. Sprinkle cheese on top and place in the oven for seven minutes until the egg is cooked and cheese is golden
3. Place candy eyes on the peppers to complete the look

Witches’ brooms

Ingredients:

• Think bread sticks
• Cheese strings
• Chives

Method:

1. Pull a cheese string 1/3 of the way to resemble a broom brush. Cut it so there is 1.5cm left on top.
2. Make a hole (I use a chopstick). Slide in the bread stick and tie with a chive.
