Gift baskets can be designed and filled with any holiday in mind. Think of Christmas gift baskets, Halloween gift baskets, Easter gift baskets and valentine gift baskets. Custom design each basket to your specifications.

You can find recipes fun recipes all over, especially during holiday seasons. For example, I found this Halloween recipe on a site that is for software, vehicle and other types of equipment financing and leasing:

 

Icky Eyeballs

What would Halloween be without some gore? And what is ickier than some gooey eyeballs?

Ingredients:

1 cup miniature marshmallows
6 oz lemon gelatin
2 cup water
2 cup pineapple juice
16 oz cream cheese

Microwave the water in a medium bowl on high for 3 minutes, then remove and pour in the lemon gelatin to dissolve it. Add the marshmallows, coating them well. Pour on the pineapple juice and stir. Let the mixture sit while you warm the cream cheese to soften it. Mix in the cream cheese. Then heat the entire mixture in the microwave for another minute. Stir until well blended.

Refrigerate the mixture for two hours. A melon ball scoop makes for a great tool to carve out some eyeballs. As an alternative, you can cool the mixture in rounded ice cube trays. The tops will be squarish, but you can turn them over and bunch them all together to disguise this.

Now use blue food coloring to paint on the irises. A drop of black food coloring in the center does nicely for the pupils.

 

Awesome or what? You can make sweet treats and figure out your equipment financing and leasing all in one with an online application. Go figure  - - OK, pun intended

Trick or treat time can be fun and educational. For example, you can find excellent reciped for edible snacks tucked into articles in nearly every niche like home improvements.

For example, here’s a recpie I found on a site where you could get Hurricane Socks and Abzorb Mats to absorb extra moisture in your home:

 

Cobweb Brownies

You can get everyone into the fun spirit of Halloween by baking up a batch of brownies covered with ‘cobwebs’. Doesn’t that sound inviting?

Ingredients:

Brownies

4 – 1 oz squares of unsweetened chocolate
3 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing

7 oz marshmallow cream
1 oz semisweet chocolate

Preparation:

In a 2-quart saucepan, dissolve the chocolate over a low heat and stir in the butter, warming until thoroughly melted. Remove from heat and blend in the sugar, mixing well. Allow the mixture to cool while you prepare the other ingredients.

Beat the eggs and then blend in the vanilla extract. Slowly sprinkle on the flour, stirring well. Then pour on the chocolate/butter mix and blend for 1-2 minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 350F/175C.

While you’re waiting, pour the batter into a 13" x 9" x 2" baking pan. For easiest removal, you can spray some olive oil non-stick spray onto the pan first, but with a non-stick Teflon pan it usually isn’t necessary. Bake for 30 minutes. Test by inserting a toothpick and seeing that it comes out clean.

Remove from oven and pour the marshmallow cream over the brownies. To get very thin, spiderweb-like lines you can use a small-diameter cooking syringe. Break up the lines by melting the 1-oz of semisweet chocolate and dripping small blobs at the intersection of two lines of cream.

Allow to cool and you’re ready for treats!

We decided that our picnic idea would also make the food preparation fun and easy because we would have my husband and the bride’s dad barbeque like they have been doing for the girls for years. We decided we would serve gourmet hamburgers and salads to keep with our picnic idea. We bought the classic red and white checked table clothes to place on the tables. We borrowed picnic tables from several neighbors so we had enough seating for everyone. We have a bar area on our deck so we set this up to serve wine and soft drinks. We ordered daisies and baby’s breath to make small arrangements on each table… read further at picnic idea.
