<p>These simple and delicious chocolate cupcakes are a real crowd-pleaser. They’re a great project to make with the kids, as they can be made in only three steps. The decorations may look impressive, but they’re easy to achieve as you don’t need to pipe on the icing, simply spread it.</p>

<p>This pea & bacon chowder is delicious any time of year, but it’s an ideal Halloween supper, as it looks like a bubbling cauldron of witches’ brew. It requires about an hour of your time and just under 10 ingredients, but it can be made in advance and frozen to defrost when you need it. It’s healthy, too, but the kids won’t notice – the theme is too fun!</p>
