Mix up as much blue Jello as your bowl will hold
Mix using ice cubes & cold water instead of the cold water called for on the box
Pour this into the bowl over a knife blade or something to keep from
disturbing the gravel
If you want it to have 'seaweed', poke a couple of pieces of purple endive or something similar down into the gravel
When the whole thing starts to jell, use a wooden skewer to push gummy fish into different parts of the bowl
If you're going to be able to supervise the serving, you could even
add a plastic diver man, etc

You Can Take Some Ordinary Foods
And Relabel Them As Something Creative
1.---Ribs with lots of barbeque sauce
2.---Baked potatoes with chili ladled over for shrunken heads with brain sauce
3.---Spaghetti for your basic guts
A twist on this would be to put brussel sprouts in the sauce instead of meatballs
People won't be able to tell the difference until they bite into them
4.---Fill your candy dishes with Black Jellybeans, Mellowcream pumpkins and candy corn
Drape gummy worms over the sides o the candy dish for effect
More Cookie Ideas
1.---Bake brown sugar cookies in pumpkin-shaped stoneware
cookie molds (Brown Bag Cookie Molds)
2.---Make sugar cookie cut-outs with pumpkin-shaped cookie cutters and sprinkle with orange decorator sugar
