Halloween Food - Zombie Macarons

I promise there isn't a Halloween takeover on this blog, despite 2 posts in a row being full of the H word! 

But I have a few cute and super simple ideas to share, however I promise to spread them out!

Macarons. I adore them. Their delicate presentation, delicious texture but not the price. Yes I know I could make them but who keeps almond meal in the cupboard?! 

I am all for making life as easy as possible. 

I spied these in TK Maxx who have an excellent foodie section full of brightly coloured pasta and interesting products, and at a couple of pounds for a pack of 6, almost half the price of the fresh versions in the supermarkets, I couldn't resist. Whilst they don't have fresh cream in them they are absolutely delicious and made perfect zombies!

I have very limited time at the moment. Every day there are a million things on the rolling to do list. We have big changes going on at home and at work which I will let you all in on soon. All good. 

You can use any sweets you like, liquorice would be great but I used the following ingredients.  

• Green macarons
• Jelly tots for eyes  
• Sugar rocks for teeth
• Black icing pen
• Dried Spagetti and Chocolate coffee beans for the bolts

Using your icing pen put a blob under each jelly tot eye and secure. Pipe a small dot in the centre of the eyes. Draw a mouth and add the sprinkle sugar crystals for teeth.  Draw on a scar and with a cocktail stick gently make a hole in the coffee beans. (Careful not to push too hard). Take a length of dried spaghetti about 1.5cm long and push into your macaron and the coffee bean to make the bolts.

Eat.
