Halloween Party Food, 2009!

 Finally! Halloween party food is here! I’m not going to say too much, and I probably won’t even post any recipes for right now. Just pictures and descriptions!

Right side of the Boo-ffet

Bleeding Heart Punch

This was 1 large bottle of red Hawaiian Punch, 1 large bottle of ginger ale, 1 large bottle of apple juice, and 1 large bottle of cranberry juice. I froze some water that was dyed red inside a heart-shaped mold and floated that in the punch 😀

Add large chunks of dry ice for a spooky effect!

Just make sure no one gets any of the dry ice in their cups! And don’t touch it with your hands, or any other skin, for that matter. Use tongs.

Vegetable Vertebrae Wraps

I had both white and wheat wraps, filled with (v)cream cheese, spinach, alfalfa sprouts, red onion, tomato, cucumber, and salt & pepper.

Moldy Cheese Log

This is a cream cheese log, tinted blue. It’s flavored with lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, and a few drops of (v)worchestershire sauce.

Dead Man's Fingers with Bloody Mary-nara

Pretzel-like breadsticks made to look like human fingers, served with a jarred marinara sauce. The fingers were veganized from this recipe. For the egg wash, I just used some water mixed with a little agave nectar.

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

Please excuse the flour pockets. I made a huge batch of these, so I was bound to mess up a little. :-\ Nevertheless, these are still everyone’s favorite cookies!

Pumpkin Spice Bats + All Hallow's Cheesecake

 I explained the cookies in my last post, so..

All Hallow's Cheesecake

These are mini orange cheesecakes, with a chocolate cookie crust.

Mold Dip and Dried Skin Flakes

Spinach dip! Consisted of frozen, chopped spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, garlic salt, a little soymilk, freshly ground black pepper, and.. I think that’s it.

Black Cat Brains and Pureed Flesh

I meant to put some carrot sticks in the middle bowl, but never got around to peeling them. The Black Cat Brains are falafel balls. I got the recipe from Boma at the Animal Kingdom Lodge in Walt Disney World. The pureed flesh is store-bought red pepper hummus.

Vampire Bite Cakes

These are red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and red gel icing for the bloody vamprie bites. The cupcake recipe came from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World.

Toenail Brittle

My disgusting way of saying, “Peanut Brittle”.

Dried Bat Wings

Blue corn chips!

Goblin Guts

My mom’s favorite homemade guacamole.

Mashed Brains

Store-bought salsa.

Mini Deviled Quiches

Mini quiches from Fat Free Vegan, with red pepper devil horns.

Stuffed Eyeballs

These are baby bella mushrooms, stuffed with mashed silken tofu that was mixed with cajun seasoning. They were then dipped in cajun-seasoned breadcrumbs and decorated with sliced olives and chopped red pepper to form the pupils. They were baked at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Toxic Punch

This was 1 large bottle of green Hawaiian Punch, 1 large bottle of ginger ale, and 1 can orange juice concentrate. I then washed and sliced an organic orange and floated the slices in the punch.

Warm Vampire Blood

I didn’t get a good picture of it, but on the stove, I had a hot, spiced, cranberry punch from VegParadise.com.

Mauled Apple Cider + Veritaserum

Also on the stove was some hot, mulled, apple cider (the heat was turned down right after this picture was taken.. haha). Next to the stove I had a pitcher of filtered water that I labeled Veritaserum 😀

And that’s all, folks!
