Our top 10 tips for the perfect Halloween!
TRICKS
1. The Classic Egging:
It had to be at the top of the list didn’t it? An old Halloween favourite with nothing but a dozen eggs and a good arm needed! Can be particularly nasty if you’ve left the eggs outside for a few weeks – eurrrggggghhh!
Instead of dipping apples in caramel and decorating, use onions! This prank works best if you decorate the finished coated onions with nuts, icing or chocolate pieces. Great to leave around at your Halloween party looking all pretty and edible, waiting for the unsuspecting victim to pick one up and take a bite! When they get a big mouthful of onion instead of apple, they will likely tear right up.

4. Rubber spiders:
On Halloween morning, this is a great one to try at the breakfast table. Rubber spiders in the cereal box always get’s em! Super cheap spiders are available from most joke shops. Place them in your unsuspecting victim’s cereal box and wait for the jumping and screaming to begin. Best played on the children before school, but try to avoid playing this trick on the elderly or people of a nervous disposition! No spiders in grandma’s cornflakes!
5. Pizza delivery trick or treat (adults):
You may need food as a back up for this one, however… On Halloween, order a pizza right around the bewitching hour. When the delivery person shows up, give them some sweets or other treats and congratulate them on a very novel and original Halloween costume. Close the door and wait a few seconds. If they go away, you might go hungry and not be able to order from there again, most likely they’ll knock on the door and demand the money!
TREATS
1. Halloween Cocktails
One for the adults, but you can find many recipes online for childrens spooky fruit drinks too.Lot’s of red colours (think “I vant to drrwink your blood!”), oranges and blacks!
