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 :)

Mrs Voorhees severed head! It must be Halloween Weekend.

As the darkness thickens and your bones start to chill and tiny hairs on your body stand on end. Your eyes refuse to blink as you look around every corner for what you thought you saw, you heard something, a  flicker of a shadowy figure darts from one wall to another as a gentle whisper of air brushes past your ear! Your spine trembles, your body tenses, you’d rather not turn around because you know situations like this never end well! There’s a creek from the wooden floorboards and as your heart thumps louder your curiosity gets the better of you as you make the decision to turn - you take one last gulp of air before you turn your head! Something darts out from the corner of the darkness, you jump literally out of your skin and let out a tiny yelp as your kitty cat playing  tricks on you runs between your legs looking like the smuggest little butter wouldn’t melt (true story, this actually happened!)

So like a group of happy little kiddies dressed to the nines like ghosts and witches let us be your friendly bandaged head to foot mummy and try to fill your plastic glowing pumpkin heads to the brim as we take you door to door looking for retro tricks and nostalgic treats of pure spooky cinematic greatness.

Have a happy retro spooky weekend mwaaa hahahah haaaaa!

Halloween is coming and we have everything you need to dress the part! Whether it be a Zombie T-Shirt or fancy dress we've got it covered!

Fancy something a little more Fancy Dress - check out these great Halloween ideas!

Whatever you have in mind for this Halloween, we have just the trick (and treats) for you!

Have fun xoxo

With Halloween fast approaching – we have an office full of very excited TruffleShufflers!

We do love any excuse to get glammed up in Fancy Dress - and with head turning results like this, who could blame us?

Perhaps this year Lee could opt for something a little more...'manly'? (We did have plenty of options available, however this seemed like the best idea at the time!)

Apart from the difficult task of deciding what party you are going to – the most important thing is choosing a costume and as always - TruffleShuffle have it sorted. Whether it be as simple as adding one of our retro wigs to an 80’s-tastic outfit or going all out and dressing up as your favourite Super Hero or 80’s icon, we have lots retro halloween costumes to choose from.

I have decided to ditch the home made costume (involving black bin bags and a whole lot of hard work!) and opt for something a bit more exciting:
