Maybe this is silly, maybe not. But do you have any low carb Holloween treat ideas? It might make for an intresting thread, just wondering.

Thanks

KIDS STUFF... I love it!  Pity is "they grow up"  before you do.. :(

You can turn deviled eggs into deviled eyeballs by topping each one with a slice of green or black olive. Make an edible veggie head: buy a Styrofoam wig head and wash it well. Dry it and secure it to a square of plywood with a long nail. BOO
Now cover the head with bite-size vegetables or fruit speared with toothpicks. Use different colors and shapes to make facial features (red pepper or apple slices for lips, radishes peeled in strips to make bloodshot eyeballs). Don't forget the dip! Bwhahahahahhahaahah

Monster Main Dishes.
Cut slices of meatloaf with a bat-shaped cookie cutter, and serve with bat's blood (ketchup).

Spaghetti and meatballs takes on a whole new 'life' when you discribe it as night crawlers and eyeballs. GULP!

Chicken strips can easily become witches fingers when served with slime sauce (ranch dressing dyed green) for dipping.

Stuffed pasta shells have an awful appeal when you call them Snail Shells stuffed with Racoon Spleens.

Good side dishes include steamed maggots (rice), rotting teeth (corn) and lizard tongues (carrot sticks).

For a less nauseating (hahhahhaah) but still festive meal, scrape out small pumpkins and use them as individual serving bowls for black bean, split pea, or pumpkin soup.

Games that are Good for You.
When planning party activities, don't underestimate how much fun a good old-fashioned game of bobbing for apples can be. For an added challenge, remove the stems before beginning. Turn it into a game of bobbing for 'eyeballs' instead by using grapes.

If you would prefer to avoid the sloshing water and wet guests that result from traditional apple bobbing, try a different twist on the game: tie strings to each apple and hang them from the ceiling at face height. The challenge in this game is to take a bite out of the apple without using your hands!
