Brigitte and Ricardo aren’t afraid of entertaining with horrifying decor. The skeletons are the guests of honour, welcoming the guests at the entrance of the house, not being too shy to take a bloody bath, and even grabbing a seat at the table. There’s no danger of them devouring the food, since they don’t have any skin on their bones.
1. Prosciutto-Bocconcini Skull
When placing this bare head in the centre of a charcuterie platter on Halloween, you may hear a few frightened screams. To reproduce it, use a clean plastic skull and then line with slices of prosciutto. As for the eyes, they’re simply bocconcini cheeses and olives! It’s enough to make your hair stand on end!

2. Prosciutto-Cheese Hand
For Halloween, go overboard by serving this arm and hand made of a mixture of cream cheese and cheddar cheese, like a cheese ball, that you then sculpt. Use cheese sticks for the fingers and cover the whole thing with prosciutto to imitate the muscles. This dish isn’t for the faint of heart.

Béatrice and her husband, Louis-Félix, also joined in the fun by donning costumes of the Victorian bourgeoisie, but the young couple seems to have met a grim fate… Did their servants suffer the same end? By assigning a theme to your guests, this creates a nice unity among the costumes.
3. Maple Sausage Fingers
This scary sight is quickly eased by the pleasure of how good cocktail sausages taste with maple syrup. All you have to do is trim nails and knuckles into the sausage (strange, we know!) with a small knife to turn this classic into a Halloween recipe.

4. Bloody Spritz
Do you dare to inject this bright red liquid into your drink at your Halloween party? Don’t be afraid; it’s just a syringe filled with Campari, which is then placed in a glass filled with sparkling wine or sparkling cider, like a spritz. Be careful, we don’t know all the side effects of this creepy cocktail.

5. Clementine Pumpkins
Put together a Halloween cheese platter by choosing ashy varieties with rustic rinds in shades of grey and brown or with orange wax, which can be accompanied by grainy crackers and dark fruits. To reproduce the small pumpkins that are also featured on the tray, use clementines garnished with a jalapeño peduncle.

6. Tuna Tartare and Maggot Canapés
Small maggots have found their way to these mouthfuls of brain made with tuna tartare topped with puffed wild rice. Cook the rice by placing it in hot oil until it bursts for a Halloween garnish that’s as crunchy as it is disturbing.
For a night that’ll send shivers down your spine, opt for gray, black and blue tones. Break out the silverware and glass globes for an old-fashioned atmosphere. Place plenty of candles in many rooms to create ominous shadows and don’t forget the pumpkins of all colours, shapes and sizes.
