Here at TruffleShuffle, we LOVE Halloween! Remember our amazing Pumpkin Carving Competition on Facebook?!

This year we thought we would try our hand at more than just the traditional Jack-O-Lantern and see what other tricks treats we could come up with.

Starting with the food (of course!) we found some fantastic ideas that we are just dying to try!

First the cake, you have to have cake right! These cupcakes look easy and effective, chocolate cakes topped with white icing and decorated with black skeletal detail - spookily edible!

White chocolate dipped strawberry ghosts, decorated with dark chocolate - plus it's essentially fruit so totally healthy :-)

You will need something to drink so make sure you keep your (blood red!) punch chilled with a frozen ghostly hand. Just fill a latex glove with water and freeze, take off the glove and float the hand in your drinks bowl! Eeeeeasy!

We are especially excited to try these jelly worms. How realistically disgusting to these look - make sure you get the bendy straws for the lifelike wormy texture! Another simple and effective treat for kids and ermm... big kids like us :)

Remember the days before iPads and Playstations where you had to use your imagination a little or play the game with an actual person in the same room?? No nor me, but apparently they are now retro games and toys!! Whether it was the family favourite board game or your favourite sylvanian family it now seems far more friendly and sociable than shouting at a french 15 year old whose just crushed your kill ratio on Call of Duty. Get ready to hop back to the 1980s, because we’re revisiting some of the best 80s toy commercials. They may have only lasted an average of 30 seconds (Hard to believe, right?) and been packed with loads of imagery, a jingle and the usual fast-talking small print but they live on for years conjuring great memories of enthusiastically writing Christmas lists mid September! So get ready for a trip down memory lane as I show you my favourite toy commercials of the 1980s! So sit back, relax and get ready to remember what playtime was like before technology took over.

Teddy Ruxpin the storytelling bear was one of the most popular 1980s toys. Today, a toy like this would be able to recognize what kids said to him and respond and be completely programmed on some sort of chip. Back in the day, Teddy Ruxpin worked with a cassette tape but we all still thought he was the coolest thing in the world. Can you imagine a toy running on a cassette tape today?
