Hocus Pocus Platters

Creepy Cauldron platter (1)

Ingredients:

Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles

Poppy Seeds

Yellow Pepper

Mini Babybel cheeses

Pretzel sticks

Bread sticks

Wholewheat tortilla wrap

Chives

Cherry tomatoes

Black olives

Cucumber slices

Green grapes

Baby carrots

Blueberries

Guacamole

Method:

Dip the Laughing Cow cheese triangles in poppy seeds and top each one with a strip of yellow pepper to make witches hats. Carve jack-o-lantern faces into the wax of mini Babybel cheeses and top with a pretzel stick stalk to make pumpkins. Make cuts along a strip of tortilla wrap and wrap around half a breadstick to make a broomstick. Tie together with chives. 

Cut cherry tomatoes in half, scoop out the flesh and fill with Laughing Cow cheese. triangles Top with slices of black olives to make eyeballs. Fill a small bowl with guacamole for a cauldron.

Place all your witchy foods on a large platter or tray and fill in the gaps with cucumber slices, green grapes, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and blueberries. Decorate with toy spiders for extra creepiness!


Spooky Halloween Platter (2)

Ingredients:

Mini Babybel cheeses

Pretzel sticks

Black olives

Small crackers

Laughing Cow Cheese Triangles

Clementines

Cucumber

Baby peppers

Cherry tomatoes

Edible eye sprinkles

Black grapes

Blueberries

Method:

De-wax the mini Babybel Cheeses. Break the pretzel sticks into small pieces and push them into the sides of the cheese for spider legs. Finish the spiders with slices of black olives for eyes. Remove packaging from Laughing Cow cheese Triangles and pop into a disposable piping bag. Snip off the end and pipe cheese ‘bandages’ over crackers to make mummies. Finish the mummies with black olive slice eyes. 

Peel clementines and top with cucumber slicks to make pumpkins. Use Laughing Cow cheese to stick edible eye sprinkles to baby peppers and cherry tomatoes to make monster veggies.

Place all your spooky Halloween foods on a large platter or tray and fill in the gaps with cucumber sticks, black grapes and blueberries. Decorate with toy spiders for extra creepiness!

Actually, I think that these platters could be really useful (without the spooky bits!) as Christmas Platters.
