Monster munchies, ghoulish grub and spooky sweets.
Pink Devils
Jane: The ghostly meringue banshees went down so well with trick or treaters last Halloween that I thought I'd make a similar version on a devilish theme this year. The devil meringue had to be red, with diabolical horns, a fiendish mouth and an evil expression (sadly, I knew cloven hoofs and a devil's fork were way too ambitious for the medium of meringue). In the end, even 'red' turned into a bit of challenge. I made the meringue as normal (for instructions see meringue banshees) and at the last minute added my red food colouring.

Halloween Cakes
Long before trick or treating, people in the north of England went ‘guising’ from house to house dressed up as witches, wizards and ghosts. Their reward for doing a turn or saying a poem on the doorstep was often a Halloween cake. Try them out on your trick or treaters this year.

Mash O’ Nine Sorts
A traditional English dish, eaten on Hallowe’en, called so because it has nine ingredients, most of them root vegetables. The original recipe calls for them to be boiled within an inch of their lives, so we’ve adapted it slightly. A ring was also hidden in the mash, which was served to unmarried members of a household – whoever finds it would be married within the year.
