3. Add the cookie crumbs and brown sugar. Adjust to taste.
4. Put a splash of milk until you get the consistency you want. Chill for a couple of minutes.
5. To serve it, you can improvise on piping bags by putting the mixture on a zip lock bag and pipe on the macaroon cups or cookies to make it look like poop.

Blood Red Drink:

Easy to prepare beverage that is perfect for Halloween

Ingredients

• 1 package of red Jello (can be flavored or not)
• 2 parts of cranberry juice or strawberry juice
• 1 part diluted iced tea mix

Method:

Combine the cranberry juice and iced tea in a pitcher. Heat up in a sauce pan and add half a pack of the Jello (for 1 pitcher of the drink) and dissolve Jello. Pour on pitcher and chill. Stir the juice occasionally to form loose gelatin and will look like blood. Add booze for adults. You can also do slimy green using green apple juice and green Jello with a hint of food coloring.

Graveyard Cake Decor:

Buy a cake and turn it into a Halloween centerpiece

Ingredients

• A cake of any choice with frosting; remove the designs like flowers, etc.
• Oreo cookie crumbs
• Add creative touches such as a printed tombstone on a cardboards, toy spiders, etc.

Method:

1. The cake should be in room temperature to start with. Smooth out the icing edge with a knife. (It doesn’t have to be prefect).
2. Stick the cardboard tombstone you made (research in the net for some life like tombstones and inscribe silly words) at the center.
3. The fun part. Cover the cake entirely with the Oreo cookie crumbs which will resemble dirty. It doesn’t need to be perfect as long as the cake is covered. (It’s great to buy a cake with dark frosting for minimum cover ups.) Place more crumbs at the base of the cake.
4. Decorate away! Use toy spiders for a creepy look and even put wisps of white cotton candy around the cake to resemble cobwebs. Just go crazy for you’ll be putting it in the center table anyway!
