The year has zoomed past and it’s already October. Outside things are\u00a0pretty chilly, in fact where I live it is freezing cold outside and raining.<\/p>\n

If that’s not bad enough, the clocks also change on the last Sunday of the month (26th) plunging us into darkness\u00a0as well as being freezing cold and wet. Yet it’s not all doom and gloom, Halloween means I get to nick lots of cardboard boxes from the warehouse and make costumes for the kids. There are four of us and after a quick surf on Pinterest for Minecraft, we picked\u00a0these costumes to make (I’m Steve):<\/p>\n

Now I know you are probably wondering where all this is going. Well, last year we used coffee flavouring syrups to make jelly hands and creepy looking cold drinks (complete with eyeballs) for the kids. The sour green apple syrup looked especially awesome in a big glass cauldron bowl.<\/p>\n

After a while, we went out into the street with a bunch of local kids. I remember wishing I had a mug of something hot or a pair of gloves as we trawled the kids around the neighbours’ houses. Thankfully being a complete nerd coupled with OCD\u00a0I set a reminder for the 1st October to remind me to buy gloves and find a hot drink recipe.<\/p>\n

A few days later my gloves have arrived and I have pinned the following recipe to make on Halloween night. Give it a go, it will be yummy (and warm).<\/p>\n
