Halloween is on a Saturday night this year... but it's 2020 so you need to celebrate it at home with up to five friends/members of your household only. But, it can still be fun!
Halloween 2020 really is the definition of being 'all dressed up with nowhere to go' - and it's not because you're unpopular, it's because we're caught up in a global pandemic.
If the last eleven months haven't been terrifying enough for you and you're still eager to do something special this October 31st, here are some ideas perfect for a ghoul's night in...

If you're not putting your energy in to a creative costume, why not try a creative snack platter?
This vibrant hummus with cute bat dippers is definitely one way to impress guests - and the 'gram.
Ingredients:
400g pumpkin puree
400g chickpeas
60ml Vita Coco coconut milk
4 roasted garlic cloves, skin removed
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Tortilla Bats
4 tortilla wraps
1 tbsp Vita Coco coconut oil, melted
1 tsp ground cumin
Bat cookie cutters
Method:
To make the tortilla bats, preheat the oven to 180c and line a large baking tray with baking parchment. Cut bat shapes out of the tortilla wraps, then toss together in a bowl with the coconut oil and cumin.
Once coated, place on the baking tray, and bake for 5-7 minutes, until golden and crisp.
To make the hummus, simply place all of the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add salt, to taste.
Serve the hummus in a bowl topped with pumpkin seeds and a dusting of cumin.
Place on a plate with the tortilla bats and enjoy.
