Seven Halloween Treats For Your Next Fiesta

I have always wanted to throw a party for Halloween. 

I might someday, but I already have the ideas for the food and treats!

Pinterest - heard of it?  They've helped me out a lot.  Also Pinterest is the reason for the lack of my productivity.

Seven Halloween Treats

• Mystery Box(of eyeballs) - All I will do is peel a bowl full of grapes and get them nice and cold.  Then I will paint a box black with a cut out in the top of it and add a creative sign.  Something about stick your hand in here, eyes were seen here, blah blah.  And now I've ruined my surprise for everyone.
• Brain Cupcakes - I will bake vanilla cupcakes and fill with something red.  Jam or cherry filling or something like that.  Then I will make a putrid beige colored icing and pipe it to look like brains.  Then you crack it it open and the blood comes out.
• Spider Webs - Take some pretzel rods and arrange them in an asterisk shape like this: *.  Connect the pretzels with concentric lines of white chocolate and a bit of a blob in the center.  Then fashion a mini spider out of a brown M&M and some chocolate jimmies. Repeat for all guests.  
• Candy Corn Sugar Cookies - Make your favorite roll-able sugar cookie dough recipe.  Divide dough in three and color some orange, yellow and leave some white.  Layer the colors in a pan, chill. cut the stacked dough into strips and then cut them into triangles.  The will be reversed but adorable!  Food color is magic.
• Ear Wax - Take an old box of q-tips.  Empty and set aside.  Then take some lollipop sticks and put a mini marshmallow on each end.  Dip each marshmallow in some butterscotch or caramel sauce to resemble ear wax.  GROSS but also perfect and delicious.
• Eyeball Truffles - White chocolate truffles in a traditional round shape.  Pipe on them in colors to make the irises and then red lines for a bloodshot look.  I literally just thought this up.  GOLD STAR.
• Witch Hats - Take one of those fudge shoppe cookies that the bottom half is dipped in chocolate.  Flip it to chocolate side up.  Then put a naked kiss on top.  Using a festive colored icing, pipe a ribbon decor where the hat meets the brim. 

Are my treats too cute-sy?  I guess I should wait till I have kids to throw that party...

Seven Rad Group/Family Costumes

Hey!

Still digging Halloween week?  Me too.

I like to watch other people dress up in costumes and pull off elaborate things and themes and stuff. 

I love when creative people blow my mind.  Today I am posting a list of themes I have seen, but no photos to go with, because I'm too lazy to find and resize them.

True dat.

Seven Rad Group/Family Costumes

• The Jetsons - Parents, kids and a dog.  SO ADORABLE.  The ones I saw had made their costumes by hand.  Hopefully youngsters know who The Jetsons are...
• The Simpsons - Yellow body paint and lots of plastic facial pieces.  Crazy rubbery wigs and hat things and great clothing.  Another cartoon family costume theme done well.
• BLT - The sandwich - mom and dad were bread, three kids(bacon, lettuce, tomato).  I saw this online and they looked like store bought costumes but its hard to say. 
• The Flinstones - Fred, Wilma, Pebbles so cute!  Quite a commitment for the mom and dad too, thats a lot of orange hair and a lot of body hair...
• Legos - A big red and blue brick for mom and dad and then a smaller yellow brick for baby!  AMAZING!
• Pac Man and family - Mr and Mrs Pac-Man and the four ghosts.  Somebody with four kids must do this!
• S'mores - Mom and dad as graham crackers, kids as marshmallows and chocolate bar.  I have a thing for the food combos like this, too cool. 

Have you seen or done something cooler?  TELL ME! 

Seven Scary Movies

I'm gonna propose a toast...

ah-hem!  This toast is for all of you out there that can watch scary movies, you have my condolences!


That being said:  I do not like scary movies.

Nope.

Not at all.  I can't even bring myself to watch the classics.  No not even with the lights on in the middle of the day.  Not even when someone is around to protect me.  Not even with my hands over my eyes.  Not even with a finger on the mute button.  Not even if you paid me.

I just can't do it. 

Sorry.


Seven Scary Movies
(that I've never seen but think are pretty scary)

• Final Desination.  The first one of this series was a movie I tried to watch.  I got about halfway into it and left the room in tears.  When that truck of logs/poles/whatever launches one into the driver of the car behind it - I think of that every.single.time. I see a truck of logs/poles.  Then the CRT computer monitor exploded and slit that person's throat....DONE!  That's all I saw of that movie and it was enough. 
• Scream.  My dad had this movie's audio in our minivan once and hearing it surround me - with no picture - was scary.  The voices and whatever they were talking about really creeped me out.  I don't know why I'm such a whimp...even that mask to me is just like....why?
• Psycho.  This has a lot of classic scenes from what I understand.  This was directed by Hitchcock, right?  The shower scene?  I think I have seen scene snippets so I didn't seem too clueless. 
• The Exorcist.  I went to Catholic school for many years.  I can't even think about this movie's plot without giving myself the heebjeebs.
• The Silence of the Lambs.  The two parts of this movie that stick out to someone who has never seen it: that creepy ass mask, and then the famous line "put the lotion in the basket"
• Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Now that is a scary mask.  Do they really cut people up with a chainsaw?  I know how a chainsaw works and that sounds terrible and unnecessary.  No way, Jose.
• Halloween.  There is something from this movie that I like: that theme song.  Otherwise I'm not interested.

Sorry Dad.

Seven Candy Bars

Hey Everyone!

Are you excited?  I'm getting excited.  

The one day of the year where you can eat as much candy as you can get your hands on is fast approaching and Herc is back to give you a piece of his mind on the subject of candy bars. 

I haven't enjoyed several of these treats and sincerely feel like I'm missing out.  *sad face*

7 Candy Bars

Herc has a bit of a sweet tooth - more than 30 of them actually. On a health kick now, it’s been a few months since he’s tasted any candy bar but if he could, these would be the ones he’s seek out. No tricks, just these treats please.

SnickersHerc’s go-to candy bar whenever given a choice, he likes them in all sizes, flavors and states of refrigeration.

Mr. Goodbar
In junior high, Herc let it be known that the way to his heart was through his stomach via these yellow wrapped wonders. More than a few times he opened his locker to find bar after bar after bar waiting for him - they fit perfectly in the slotted vents of the locker.

 PaydayIt’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s delicious.

MunchBasically, a thin rectangle piece of peanut brittle. Mmm, peanut brittle. Only it has more peanuts. And only six ingredients. Check it.

Baby RuthHands down, the messiest candy bar Herc’s ever had the pleasure to consume. Pieces of chocolate and peanut halves rain down around him every time.

Gone but not forgotten category:

AvalancheIn 2007, for a few months, the makers of Payday bars had the bright idea to cover the Payday in milk chocolate. Genius. Then they stopped. Nooooooooooo!

Marathon BarThis bad boy was Herc’s favorite candy bar back in the day. It was 8” and there was a ruler on the wrapper so you knew it was true. For those of you who never had the pleasure, it was braided caramel covered in chocolate. They stopped making them in 1981. The interwebs tell of a similar bar still manufactured by Cadbury in the United Kingdom called the Curly Wurly. Herc’s Kingdom for a Curly Wurly!
