I love watching cooking programs on TV and one of my favourites is The Kitchen.
Their latest Halloween food ideas were really good.
SCARY MUSHROOM SKULLS
Ingredients
24 white mushrooms with stems, 12 large and 12 medium
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
ADD CHECKED ITEMS TO GROCERY LIST
Directions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: a small melon baller
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a melon baller, scoop out 2 cavities in each mushroom cap for the skull's eye sockets. Use a paring knife to cut a triangle for the nose area and to cut away lines in the stem for teeth. Place each mushroom upside-down (cap-side down) on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes for the medium mushrooms and 20 minutes for the large. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Allow to sit and come to room temperature (the mushrooms will expel a lot of water at this point; use the paper towel to absorb the moisture).
Heat the balsamic vinegar in a small pot over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Cool to room temperature and drizzle over top of the mushroom skulls before serving.

Cocktails: Eyeball Martini's
Make your favourite martini cocktail. Take a can of litchis and drain. Make a small slit/hole in the one side and insert a blueberry or small black grape. It should now look like an eyeball.
Drop two in each glass that has vampire fanged teeth draped on the rim. These can be bought at the sweet store and are usually a hard jelly.
