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 :)

Airplane Don't Call Me Shirley Mug

Voted the 2nd funniest film of all time by a Channel 4 survey in 2007, Airplane! rightly deserves it's cult status and we are super proud to offer this very cool mug with the slogan 'I am serious... and don't call me Shirley', a classic line from the film. Released in 1980 and starring the funny yet strangley swarve old-timer Leslie Nielsen.

Mr Tea Sovereign Mug

This clever A-Team inspired mug features Mr Tea text alongside some bullet holes and a rather blinging handle which looks like chunky soveriegn rings. So if you 'ain't getting on no plane' and would rather sit back and have a nice brew, this one's for you!
