Treat your friends and family to some deliciously edible ghosts, mummies and more

With it being a commercially dry Halloween this year in Bangkok, perhaps many of you will opt to get dressed and host a Halloween house party or head to one your friend is hosting. If so, you might want to consider contributing some homemade Halloween themed baked goods. Here are some of our favorite, creatively ghoulish recipes for Hallow’s Eve 2021.

1 Round Brie
1 Sheet of Puff Pastry
1 Large Egg

Eerie Eyeball Pops

Ingredients: 

220 grams of Oreos
100-120 grams of Full Fat Cream Cheese
200-250 grams of Melted White Chocolate

Red, White and Black Royal Icing
Red Icing Pen 
Plastic Fork/Skewer

5. For the eye, roll the red and black icing to 2 mm thick. For the outer circle of the eye use the end of an icing nozzle around 2cm wide to cut out a circle from the red icing. Using a smaller piping nozzle cut out a circle of black icing to form the pupil.
