twilight party - snack suggestions?

#1 Post by lilyvonschtupp26 » Mon Nov 17, 2008 4:18 pm

I'm having a Twilight party the week after the movie comes out, so we can talk about the pros and cons of the movie versus the book...

I'm trying to come up with clever vampire related snacks that the non-vampires can eat.

any ideas? we're having red punch obviously, kisses, bite-size snacks, animal crackers. . .

thanks in advance for your collective brain.

Monster Fingers (same as Witchy Woman)
Blood Drenched Velvet Cake (red velvet cake with white frosting and red gel icing blood)
Kiss of the Vampire (lip shaped cookies with frosting fangs)
Gothy Popcorn Balls (black Popcorn Balls)
