Make up the jelly following pack instructions. Pour a third of the mixture into 12 small glasses or plastic pots. Add a couple of bugs to each pot, then leave to set in the fridge, keeping remaining jelly at room temperature.Once set, add more bugs to each container (lean some against edges, so they stick out of the top). Pour over a third of the jelly and leave to set in the fridge. Repeat with remaining bugs and jelly.For the soil topping, place cookies in a plastic bag and, using a rolling pin, bash into crumbs, then tip onto a plate.Just before serving, sprinkle a layer of soil over each set jelly, then top with a mushroom, a slug and some ants or your choice of creepy crawlies.    Eerie Eyeball Pops [caption id="attachment_10904" align="aligncenter" width="454"]Onesie Halloween Recipes Photo, BBC Good Food[/caption]

Ingredients;

100g/4oz Madeira cake 100g Oreo cookies 100g bar milk chocolate, melted 200g bar white chocolate, melted few Smarties and icing pens, to decorate
You will also need; 10 wooden skewers ½ small pumpkin or butternut squash, deseeded, to stand pops in
Method;
Break the Madeira cake and cookies into the bowl of a food processor, pour in the melted milk chocolate and whizz to combine. Tip the mixture into a bowl, then use your hands to roll into about 10 walnut-sized balls. Chill for 2 hrs until really firm. Push a skewer into each ball, then carefully spoon the white chocolate over the cake balls to completely cover. Stand the cake pops in the pumpkin, then press a Smartie onto the surface while wet. Chill again until the chocolate has set. Before serving, using the icing pens, add a pupil to each Smartie and wiggly red veins to the eyeballs.
Spooky Spider Cakes

Ingredients; 200g butter, at room temperature 200g golden caster sugar 200g self-raising flour 4 eggs ½ tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla extract 6 tbsp chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
To decorate; 2 packs liquorice Catherine wheels 12 tbsp Nutella or other chocolate spread Liquorice Allsorts (the black ones with the white centre) tube black writing icing 1 length red bootlace

Method;

Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and line a muffin tin with 12 cases, preferably brown ones. Put the butter, sugar and flour in a mixing bowl. Break the eggs into a smaller bowl, taking care not to get any shell into it, then tip on top of the butter mixture. Add the baking powder and vanilla to the larger bowl, then beat with an electric hand whisk until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chocolate drops or chocolate. Spoon the cake mixture evenly into the cases and bake for 20-25 mins until golden – a cocktail stick pushed into the middle of one of the cakes should come out clean. Cool on a wire rack. To decorate the cakes, unravel the liquorice wheels and cut into lengths with scissors to make dangly legs. Stick 8 into the top of each cake, making small cuts with the tip of a sharp knife so they push in really securely. Spoon the chocolate spread on top and spread lightly within the liquorice legs to make a round spider’s body. Now cut the Allsorts to make eyes and the red bootlaces to make mouths, then stick them onto the cakes and dot on the icing to make eyeballs. Will keep for up to 2 days in a cool place.
Chocolate Orange Spider Jellies
[caption id="attachment_10911" align="aligncenter" width="454"]Onesie Halloween Recipes Photo BBC Good Food[/caption]
Ingredients;
1l smooth orange juice 6 strips gelatine 25g dark chocolate
Method;
Heat the orange juice in a medium-size pan until nearly boiling. Cover the gelatine with cold water and leave for 5 mins until spongy and softened. Squeeze out any excess water. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the gelatine until dissolved. Let the mixture cool a little, then divide between 10 serving dishes. Place in the fridge for at least 5 hrs, or preferably overnight. Cover a baking sheet with some baking parchment. Melt the chocolate either in the microwave (1-2 mins should do it) or in a bowl set over a small pan of boiling water. Pour the melted chocolate into a small freezer bag. Make a piping bag by snipping off a tiny piece of one corner. Now pipe out 10 spider-web shapes onto the baking parchment: pipe a circle with a smaller circle inside, then pipe lines coming out from the centre like the spokes of a wheel. Place the chocolate spider webs in the fridge to harden. Just before serving, carefully peel away each spider web from the parchment and place on top of a jelly.
Why not try to make one of these devilishly delicious dishes in your onesie? They're sure to be a hit with everyone this Halloween!
