Halloween is just around the corner, have you got everything you need yet?
Whether you're having a themed party or not, some Halloween treats will not go amiss and will certainly cheer the children up when they have to go back to school on Monday.
But most importantly, have you decided which costume you're going to wear?
If you, like me, can't get enough Creme Eggs when Easter starts to come around, then this is the perfect thing for you. Screme Egg is a twist on the original - it just means that we can now enjoy the at two separate times of the year. Result. The inside is obviously no longer yellow, but a slimy green colour. Gooey!
Sainbury's new spooky ice cream is sure to add a chill to your celebrations. Toxic Swamp is perfect for sharing over the spooky season. The spine-chilling diary ice cream is a cool mint flavoured 'toxi sludge' with swirls of strawberry 'zombie blood' and white chocolate 'crunchy broken bones'. The new flavour has been devilishly devised by the Halloween I-Scream competition winner Christopher George, aged 9 from Hampshire. (The 500ml pots, £2 are available in 350 stores this October)
