Disgusting Deliciousness

Goulish Halloween Snacks

Here are some hauntingly delicious gory food ideas for Halloween. We are talking about food that is meant to look really vile, but actually tastes good. You can only get away with this in October, so you may as well go all out, right?

The tongue cake is stomach churning but really funny; it looks a bit like a wedding cake, but I hope it is never used as the design basis for one. The bloody finger cookies, with almonds as nails, are nothing short of inspirational and are vegan friendly to boot.

With foods as ghoulish as anatomically correct heart molds, it really is time to pump up the gore for your costume party this year.
