Pirate Party

Ahoy! What fun a pirate party would be! Costumes alone are fun, then you can have treasure map invites, hidden treasure games, ship and treasure themed food, fake tattoos, chocolate coins, jewel lollies, pirate hat and eye patches, pin-the-patch-on-the-pirate game, sword fights..
Pirate Hat Cookies

Not only do these cookies look great but they taste yummy too! I made a batch but used a block of caramel chocolate instead of Rollo, which still worked great:
My version
Gold Oreos- edible gold paint!
My Pirate chest cake
Treasure chest
Fruit Treasure Chest
Treasure hunt
Walk the Plank
