This Halloween, host a Villain’s Ball in the Royal Evil Queen’s castle. Dusk is the perfect setting for this party on the dark side. Use ornate details and rich colors of black, burgandy and purple. No Villain’s Ball would be complete without Poison Apples. The rich dark red sets the tone with both candy apples and fresh apples with spooky tags. Add in a bit of black and white candy and creative treats such as “Lady Fingers” and vials of Blood for the vampires.
Classic games like Ghosts in the Graveyard and Ring around the Rosie are more fun and spooky as the sun goes down.
Have plenty of this Graveyard snack mix on hand for the little villains. An Easy mixture of puppy chow, mini oreos, chocolate chips and unwrapped Hershey hugs.
Dress up glasses with spooky eyeball skewers made of candy and marshmallows.
Stacks of Thrifted books with spooky titles and rich covers add height to the table settings.
Double, double, toil and trouble ….. try adding dry ice to your cauldron for a ghoulish effect on your vampire punch
Send guests home with DEATH BY CHOCOLATE candy bars to remember this fun night of mischief.
