Halloween Milkshakes: 3 Ways

My sister and I loved this idea for creating ghost milkshakes. So cute! What a fun idea for dressing up a sweet beverage for a Halloween party. We took the idea and expanded it into three different spooky milkshake ideas.First melt 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips. You can do this in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave. Once the chocolate is melted, remove from heat and use a clean (never used before) paintbrush to create your design inside the glass. Allow this to set over night. Be sure to store them in a cool, dry place.Now you can pour your milkshake into the prepared glass and you have a spooky ghost face! For my vanilla milk shake, I kept it simple by combining 2 parts vanilla ice cream with 1 part milk and blended until smooth. Add a little whip cream to finish the look.I am a big Twilight fan (!!!!!!). So of course I wanted to create something vampire-themed. For these vampire bite milkshakes, you use the same chocolate-painting technique to create the bite marks. Once the chocolate is set, fill the glasses with the milkshake. Fill a plastic pastry bag with 4-5 tablespoons strawberry syrup. Carefully cut off the very tip of the pastry bag and insert it into the filled milkshake glass, aiming for the bite marks. Squirt a little "blood" on the bite marks and watch the syrup trickle down.Be sure to serve these immediately, as the syrup will continue to trickle down the side of the glass. I think a plastic pastry bag works best for this technique, but you could also try a small plastic ziploc bag if you don't have a pastry bag on hand.This next one is very Goosebumps inspired: Monster Blood! I think I read every Goosebumps book my school library had when I was in 3rd or 4th grade (or maybe it was 5th—I'll never tell!) And I loved Monster Blood—that was a good one. :) To make my own monster blood, I simply combined 1/3 cup light corn syrup and a few drops of green food coloring. To thicken I left the monster blood in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.Fill a pastry bag or squirt bottle with the prepared monster blood. Fill your glasses with milkshake, squirt a layer of monster blood around the inner edge and then top off with whipped cream. I also found these candy frogs to garnish my monster blood milkshake. I'm not totally sure what a gummy frog has to do with anything, but skewering one onto a stick in a monster blood milkshake seems pretty appropriate—given the circumstances. :)Pick your poison and have fun making your own spooky milkshakes this season! xo.

Haha this is such a fun idea!!
Living in Belgium Halloween is not really something we celebrate, I mean we do know when it's Halloween but we haven't got any trick or treat or special parties going on. I really wish that was different!! I like scary food, I like dress up parties, I like pumpkins and I like autumn, Perfect Holiday I say!!
