What you need:
- White easy melt chocolate buttons (I used the one from Goya)
- Green food coloring
- Melted dark chocolates (I used Rebisco's Krimstix)
- Plain unflavored crackers (I used Skyflakes crackers)
- Crushed chocolate biscuits

Directions:
1. Using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate buttons.
2. Once the chocolate buttons are already melted, drop a tiny amount of green food coloring in it. Don't put too much food coloring in order to duplicate Frankenstein's color.
3. Spread the green colored chocolate on top of your crackers.
4. Start decorating your crackers with crushed chocolate biscuits. Put some on top of the crackers. Not too much because we will use it as Frankenstein's hair.
5. Use your melted dark chocolates to create Frankenstein's eyes and mouth. I use the ones from Krimstix because I find it much easier to create the eyes and mouth just by creating a small hole from its plastic.
6. Refrigerate your crackers just enough to harden the chocolates again.
7. You may now share your Frankenstein inspired crackers and enjoy!
Our second recipe is way,way easier but taste just as good. Inspired by ghosts, I call this creation "Haunted Cookies". This is your usual chocolate chip cookies covered with chocolates.

What you need:
- Melted white chocolate buttons (I also used the ones by Goya)
- Melted dark chocolates
- Chocolate chip cookies

Directions:
1. Melt the white chocolate buttons.
2. Once the chocolates are melted, put some chocolates on top of your chocolate chip cookies using a piping bag.
***You may use any kind of cookies that you like,  you may also use breads or biscuits for this as well. If you don't know how to make cookies or if you don't have time to make them, then you may use the ones from your favorite grocery stores just like what I did.
3. Refrigerate your cookies with the white chocolates in them to make the chocolates hard.
4. Once the white chocolates in your cookies are hard enough, start decorating them with ghost eyes and and mouth using some dark chocolates.
5. That's all you need to make your very own Haunted Cookies. Enjoy!

I hope you like these simple Halloween treats. Let me know if you wanna make your own version in the comment section below. If you have some suggestions, feel free to let me know as well.

Have a wonderful Halloween season! Thank you for reading :)

    Hey guys! How have you been? I know I got a lot of explaining to do about why it took me so long to blog something or to visit your blogs. Apologies :)

     The thing is that I've been VERY busy for the past few weeks of my life. Everything happened so fast and crazy but my life has been very interesting. I'm into new adventures I've never tried before. I got a new job that I never dreamed I'll ever have (because it is my DREAM JOB). I was both taxing and amazing! I traveled somewhere I've never been before and joined a Calligraphy workshop. I did both on a weekend. You can only imagine how exhausted it got me.The whole process was scary and stressful but to me, they are all worth it. I wouldn't talk too much about them because I'll post them as a separate posts soon so, just stay tuned.

    With all the changes that happened, I realize we will never find security in our future. Then I guess that makes life a little bit more interesting right? I do not know where the current will take me but I hope it will be somewhere good.

    Anyway, here's the real deal of this post. How I celebrate my Halloween eve this year. I spent it with my best friend Love and her boyfriend in an amazing cafe named ALPS. It stands for A Little Piece Of Sky .
     It was not my first time to visit the place but it is one of my favorite places in Cebu. There are just so many reasons why. I'll also go into the detail on another post soon hehehe
Love was actually one of my best friends in high school. It's a wonder how you can be friends with someone for a very long time right? We decided to meet in order for us to celebrate the fact that I passed the Board Exam last August. hehehe Fortunately, we do not have a hard time looking for a venue because ALPS invited their customers for a Fright Night. It was a horror movie marathon with surprises.
Here are some of the photos from the event:

Hi everyone!
      Finally, It's Halloween!~The time of year where you can enjoy being ugly just by how you look (JOKE!jk2x) Ok don't take that joke seriously hehee. I mean this is the time of the year where you can enjoy wearing your halloween costumes, make-up's and halloween parties (if you have to attend any).There are too many costumes and make-up's to choose from and it's always awesome to share it with your friends. I've been seeing a lot of video tutorials about it in youtube. Choosing your halloween look is all up to you.

      This is also the time of the year where you can spend awesome time to chill with your friends by various activities activities after you chose your costume and halloween inspired make-up.These includes trick-or-treating (if you practice such), showing some art by carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns (if you have lots of money to spend in buying pumpkins "kalabasa")lol, lighting bonfires,visiting haunted attractions ( which is really cool), playing pranks (which I usually do even if it's not halloween), telling scary stories, and watching horror films (which I really love). Or you can simply enjoy some trips to breath some air.

      In my case, I didn't enjoy my Halloween by costume parties or going out on a trip or something. I spend my day selling flowers for people who are going to the cemetery for the All Souls Day. Anyway, most Filipinos go to the cemetery to visit their love ones even in Oct.31st or in Nov.1 just before the All Souls Day. This means I have two days to sell flowers and save money.hehe. Not a bad thing to spend a halloween. I feel happy to help the family business though.
  
      My family and I haven't visit my grandpa's grave (maybe tomm.?). My mom and I are waiting for my father to arrive from the witch island :D before we can visit my grandpa and of course to do our annual prayer and food offering which is a part of our family tradition. The usual thing starts from offering prayers, long prayers which includes prayers in Latin. A feast is to be offered in the altar as the family pray and should not be eaten nor touch not until the praying ends. This is because of the old belief that the food is for the souls of our dead love ones. So after the family prayed we give in a short time to "let the souls eat". I know that may sound silly to you or for others but that's part of the old Filipino tradition that our family still follows.
That's what makes us who we are.#char
    
I shall end this blog post with this joke from tumblr:

• me: hello 911 there's like a thousand dead people here
• police: where are you???????????///
• me: at the cemetery
