This year for Halloween I'm going to throw a Twilight themed dessert party.
Everyone is going to come dressed up as their favorite characters from the Twilight movie or the book series.
It'll be perfect timing for the party as the New Moon movie will be on screen just a few weeks later, so we can watch Twilight on DVD to get ready.
Since you might like to have a Twilight theme party yourself, I thought I'd share some of my ideas for planning it.
For the party, I'm going with a red theme for desserts to match the book cover of the first book.
We'll have some savory appetizers on hand, such as chips and salsa, but this is a dessert party.
I thought it would be fun to do something different and rather sweet and fluffy and it's a great substitute for those of us who are too old to still go out and trick or treat! I love Red Velvet Cake so it's a great excuse to make Red Velvet cupcakes which I'm sure everyone will wolf down like fiends.
For soda pop, there's cherry soda, strawberry soda, Mountain Dew's code red and I can make a nice sparkling punch.
For those old enough to drink, Sangria should be a big hit, as well as sparkling wine with a dash of red food coloring.
If you really have a wild bunch, some red jello shooters would be perfect.
For party snacks, bowls full of ripe red cherries, red pistachios and red Tortilla chips with salsa should work well.
Red Jello will make a great additional dessert.
You should be able to find it in a couple of flavors.
I think Strawberry jello with whipped cream could be fun.
I'll also make up some chocolate-covered strawberries and create some candy-covered apples.
If you put your mind to it, you can probably come up with lots of different ideas for red foods that would work great for a Twilight-themed party.
And of course, if you decide to serve a real dinner, Italian has to be the way to go, since that's what the Cullens were so eager to serve Bella during her first visit.
