Now I have to go search you out on facebook...;-)
Sounds like a yummy punch...I think triple sec will be better than almost any flavored schnapps...you could also use limoncello.
I have seen a cute thing done in a Halloween punch bowl. Take those cheap disposable plastic gloves, rinse them out in case there is some powder in them, fill with water, tie the top and freeze....then float those spooky hands in your punch bowl! You could even make the "hands" of lemonade to avoid diluting the punch when they melt....but be sure to use sugar free lemonade mix as sugar keeps things from freezing really hard.

Great idea, lindac! :) I have seen that all over where they have Halloween recipes listed. I was browsing a link today for Halloween punches, and the main one that appealed to me (along with a Hocus Pocus potion that was nice and orange), was a Blood Orange and Blackberry Rum Punch. That sounded really yummy, but one of my friends said that rum makes her sick, and blood oranges aren't easy to find locally.

If one used the hand in the punch, they could stick a raspberry, blueberry, or blackberry on the ends for some wicked looking fingernails ;). An edible version I read about once was to stick a red M&M at the end of the glove and then fill up with popcorn for Skeleton Hands.

Or an almond slice for a fingernail.
Also you can buy a plastic face mask and put duct tape over the eye and nose holes, fill with lemonade freeze and float in the punch

Since you and LindaC have the punch all figured out, what are you serving for food? One year I made a "meat head", it looked just truly disgusting, LOL. I took a plastic skeleton head, life sized, washed it well and put it in the middle of a tray, then covered it with slices of ham and turkey. People peeled off layers of meat to make sandwiches.

I've also made truffles dipped in white chocolate and decorated with M&Ms and red frosting streaks for eyeballs and sugar cookies sandwiched with raspberry jam and dipped in white chocolate for bones. A nice big plate of them, but that was more for the kids than the adults.

Have fun!

Crème de cassis would also be a good choice for liqueur, which would give a very intense berry flavor, but Triple-Sec would be good also.

I have some white chocolate that I need to use - perhaps I can make something for Halloween with it - thanks for that suggestion, Annie.

I haven't started my costume yet, but I might begin with figuring out which shoes I want to wear. Looking forward to seeing your photos! I'll try to find you on facebook, but I don't go there that often. I've had to unfollow some of the people I know (including relatives) and prefer to avoid controversial topics. I belong to the RuPaul Drag Race group, and even that can get a bit controversial.

I've seen ideas like a glove filled with ice floated in a punch bowl with dry ice used to create a fog. I've seen tons of great ideas for halloween food, but I never remember them! I have seen a 'meat head' thing like Annie made and it creeps me out. :p oh! One easy idea was to hard-boil eggs then crack the shell all over and place in a red food dye mixed with water. When peeled and made into deviled eggs they can be made to look like bloodshot eyes. lol! And there's always the "kitty litter" treat! take a litter box, fill it with cereal that looks like cat litter, and then generously plop melted chocolate in and around. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But re the costume, Brad, you haven't given any clues this year that I've seen! There's usually some item you're looking for or something. How about a clue?

Brad, I'm a Facebook drop out, but I'm interested in what you'll be this year.

Just as long as it's not Pennywise (clowns make me sad :)

I'm still debating on what to make this year. In the past I've done the meringue 'bones;' the Good Fellas' pizza (if you've seen the movie, you can imagine).

However, I had the most fun creating "Rick O. Mortis." Disturbing, yes, but also delicious.

Love Halloween, and the creativity involved. Take lots of pictures and share them here.

Annie, that looks yummy! I love seeing what people whip up for Halloween goodies :).

Lars, did you find me on Facebook? I can message you my info if you want to find me on there, and I will add you :). I have to watch my postings as well, but luckily one can control who sees what you post on FB. Sadly, they can't do that for your likes or comments. I understand all too well what you mean. Oh, I made my shoes for this year :). I crocheted them.

Party_music, I remember eating deviled eggs once that looked like eyes. A black olive in the center of the egg was given for the effect ,and the filling was dyed green. That kitty litter treat is absolutely gross lol.

As for my costume, I found everything I needed for this year. I actually made most of it. :). The only things I didn't make were the torso piece and the gloves I am wearing. Or the wig (but I had to style it for whom I am going as). I even made the jewelry I will be wearing, save for a bracelet or two if I end up wearing them.

Solsthumper, nope, it's definitely not Pennywise (I am a Stephen King fan, though). Look around your grocery store for little books focused on Halloween party treats and eats.

I have a huge file called disgusting treats....too big to post here. It's a word file...if someone can give me a hint on how to share, I sure will>
If anyone wants it message me your email and I will attach the file.

I found you yesterday, and I messaged you first lol. I go by my real name on there. LOVE the costume! The blue is a nice touch.

Tomorrow is one week until the party! October has gone by too fast. I do love this time of year, though.

As for the punch, I think I might have my own concoction: white cranberry juice, a bag of frozen mixed berries (might puree them), the Triple Sec, maybe some mixed berry flavored juice, Blue Raspberry Lemonade Kool Aid, and a can of rum runner or strawberry or strawberry daiquiri concentrate. I'm thinking either Boo-Berry Punch or Black Widow Punch (and add those plastic spider rings around the rim of the punch bowl for added effect ;) ).
