Think YOU love Halloween? Not as much as the dedicated people who created THESE amazing terrifying treats!
Sponsored by M&S
- October 31 is the perfect time to stock the kitchen with terrifying treats
- You don't want your cupboards to be bare when the trick or treaters call
- But some people take Halloween to scarier lengths than others...
From picking the perfect costume to expertly carving a pumpkin, Halloween is without a doubt the most spook-tacular day of the year. But it is also fast becoming the most competitive.
For most parents, a bowl of monster shaped crisps, skull candies and toffee apples suffice, as long as there are some sausages in the oven or a pot of chilli bubbling on the cooker.
But for others, who take Halloween extremely seriously, hours are spent slaving away in the kitchen to ensure October 31 is packed with treats that were probably more trouble than they were worth .
Did someone have too much time on their hands? But these cheesy witches' fingers do look scarily realistic
From white chocolate 'brains' filled with raspberry jam to hot dog mummies, some people have really pulled out all the stops for the delightfully devilish day.
Some chefs even spend hours creating over-the-top cupcakes to resemble eerie graves with chocolate dirt and tombstones, or laboriously grating carrots into creepy witch fingers to serve with a cream cheese dip.
Here, we round up pictures of the most frightfully creative offerings. Whether you have the time (or the inclination) to follow suit is up to you...
