“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.”

According to the words of Shakespeare above, cackle up a witch’s brew and gruesome recipe this Halloween with the eerie formula of bats, frogs and toes.

But how about brewing something a little tastier?

Don your PVC aprons and have fun cooking at this spooky time of year with the help of Ulster Weavers and our frightening homeware.  Stir up some scary spiders or yucky snacks and amuse the kids with ghastly but edible treats.

Get the whole family involved with our cute kids aprons and get messy in the kitchen. Perfect your culinary skills by decorating biscuits, creepy cookies and menacing cupcakes. And go wild with your imagination to include all the iconic Halloween symbols such as werewolves, black cats, bats witches, ghosts and skeletons.

Whether you are a baking beginner or a cuisine expert, try cooking up a storm with chocolate cobwebs and nutty toffee apples. And it isn’t just food that you can turn grim- get inventive and create Halloween drinks and cocktails that will leave a sour taste in your mouth.

From bloody brews, wicked whiskey and murderous martinis, have fun this weekend and ensure things definitely go bump in the night!

So grab one of our aprons for children and a black adult apron and try out some of the recipes below!
