[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 610484, member: 1233"] Halloween Eyes in the Bushes: Draw eyes on the roll and cut them out. At dusk on Halloween or trick or treat night, put a glowstick in the roll and hide it in a bush. It will look like animal eyes in the dark. Lately Michaels has had a 50 pack of glowsticks for about $5, and Dollar Tree has a 7 pack for $1 this week. DIY Glowsticks: single serving bottle of Mt Dew with about 1/4 of the soda in it.

Glow int h Dark Cupcakes - [URL]http://hoosierhomemade.com/glow-in-the-dark-cupcakes/[/URL] Pretty much you make lime jello with 1 c boiling water and 1 c tonic water, then dip frozen cupcakes in the jello 4-6 times and it glows under a black light! Super easy scratch cake recipe - great for cupcakes and not too sweet - 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 4 eggs, 1 T baking powder, 1 c flour, pinch salt, mix until smooth, fill 1/2 to 2/3 full, bake at 350 approx 20-30 min until toothpick comes out clean. No mixer, little time, amazingly good. Fast easy fun food? I take biscuits (I use homemade but any will do) and put ham and cheese in the middle (cut horizontally using sharp knife or dental floss) and on top I use triangles of cheese and ham to make eyes, nose and mouths for jack o lanterns.
