Smiley faces, scary sandwiches and cider punch for the adults

Clare Latimer gets in the mood for a Halloween party

I ALWAYS feel that Halloween is the stamp of winter approaching, with dark nights and open fires, and here we are again.
Warburtons Bakery has sent some excellent ideas for a Halloween party using their bread, so although I have adapted them a little, here they are. And one recipe at the bottom is for the parents!

Smiley faces
I have given the ingredients to make eight faces but it’s easy to multiply the ingredients to make enough for a larger party.

Ingredients
Makes 8
8 cocktail sausages, or chipolatas
4 rashers streaky bacon, optional
8 slices Milk Roll
125g mild cheddar cheese, grated
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
Tomato ketchup in squirty bottle.

Method
Preheat the grill to hot. Cook the sausages until brown on all sides and grill the bacon until really crispy. Remove and keep warm. Lightly toast the bread slices on one side.
Put the grated cheese on the untoasted side and press down to secure. Put under grill until melted and just bubbling.
Remove and arrange the tomatoes for eyes, sausages for smiley mouth and then crumble the bacon for a hairstyle if using, or just squirt some ketchup for hair or blob on top of bacon.
