Halloween with Thermomix: Five Frightfully Delicious Recipes 🎃


Thermomix and halloween

What is Halloween and how did it come to the Netherlands?

Halloween is celebrated every year on October 31st. It originated from the ancient Celtic festival Samhain, which marked the end of summer and the beginning of the dark winter. During Samhain, people believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became thinner, and that spirits could return to earth. To protect themselves, they wore masks and lit bonfires to ward off evil spirits.

Through Ireland and Great Britain, these traditions traveled to the United States, where Halloween became one of the most popular celebrations of the year. From there, it returned to Europe and also to the Netherlands. Today, more and more families in the Netherlands celebrate Halloween by decorating their homes with pumpkins, cobwebs, and ghosts. Amusement parks and schools host spooky events, and children dress up in costumes and go door to door.


Trick or Treat – Candy or a little prank

The well-known “Trick or Treat” is the highlight of Halloween for children. They dress up as witches, vampires, or zombies and go door to door for candy. But why always hand out store-bought sweets?

With the Thermomix you can create your own original and healthy treats that not only look spooky, but also taste delicious:


  • Cookies in the shape of ghosts, spiders or bats

  • Colorful cupcakes with natural food coloring from fruits or vegetables

  • Healthy snacks with nuts, oats and dried fruit

  • Mini muffins in orange, black and green for extra Halloween vibes


This way you surprise children with something special and show that Halloween is not only about candy, but also about creativity and fun in the kitchen.


The pumpkin – the queen of the autumn kitchen 🎃

The pumpkin is the ultimate symbol of Halloween. Many people carve it into lanterns, but in the kitchen this vegetable offers so much more. Pumpkin is rich in vitamins, fiber and antioxidants, and is wonderfully versatile.

With the Thermomix you can process pumpkin with ease: chopping, steaming, pureeing or roasting – all with one device. You can create both savory and sweet dishes.

Some ideas:


  • A classic creamy pumpkin soup, or a surprising version with pear or apple

  • Pumpkin puree as a base for desserts or as a side dish

  • Roasted pumpkin cubes, perfect for salads or bowls

  • Sweet pumpkin pastries such as cake, pudding or muffins

Five frightfully delicious recipes

1. Mummy Sausages

This classic can’t be missed. Wrap cocktail sausages in thin strips of puff pastry so they look like little mummies. Leave a small opening for the eyes (which you can make with mustard or olive pieces). Bake the sausages until golden brown and serve with a “bloody” ketchup dip or homemade tomato dip from the Thermomix. Perfect for a Halloween buffet or children’s party.


2. Bloody Witch Finger

Serve with hot chocolate or tea for the perfect spooky moment.


3. Vampire Garlic Soup 🧛‍♂️ 🧛‍♂️
