Creepy Crispy Crunchies
- 3 Tbsp margarine
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows or 10 oz large marshmallows, about 40
- 6 cups rice crispy cereal
- orange and brown Halloween M&Ms (about 6oz)
Melt margarine in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add cereal and stir until well coated. Add the candy and mix until candy is evenly mixed. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray or line with waxed paper. Using a buttered spatula or waxed paper, press the mixture evenly into a 9x13" pan. Cut into squares when cool. Or you can use a jack-o-lantern lollipop pan.
Deviled Eggs
- hardboiled eggs
- mustard (can even be dijon or other flavored mustards if you like)
- mayonnaise
Two hardboil the eggs, put the eggs in a large saucepan, and fill with water until the eggs are fully covered. Put the full pan on the stove and bring to a boil over meduim heat. As soon as it reaches a rolling boil, remove from heat, still covered and let stand covered for 20 minutes. As soon as the 20 minutes is up, run cool water over the eggs so they stop cooking. Once cool, refrigerate until ready to use.
Peel the hardboiled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the yolks into a separate bowl. Once all the yolks are in the same bowl, add some mustard and a little mayonnaise to taste just so the mixture sticks together. Blend with a fork, then put the yolk mixture back in the hollows of the egg halves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Decayed Corpse Chips with Entrail Salsa
- blue corn tortilla chips
- coffin
- salsa
This isn't so much a recipe as it is a creative display. Arrange the blue corn chips in a coffin in the shape of a long-dead corpse. The natural blue corn chips have almost a dusky shade of brown in them that hints of decayed skin. Serve with a nice blood-red chunky salsa as accompanying entrails.
OR find a larger coffin that happened to fit a rubber skeleton. Line the coffin with crushed velvet, propped up the skeleton, arranged the chips around him, and set the crystal bowl of "entrails" between his calves. yummm
Spicy Bat Wings
- barbecue chicken wings (buffalo wings)
This is another creative description of a familiar dish. You can get honey BBQ wings if you want.
Dried Cherry Scabs
- dried cherries or could adapt and use dried currants or dried cranberries
Another nasty name for an otherwise mediocre dried fruit, but call them "scabs" and all of a sudden no one will eat them!
Tooth Decay Fodder
This could be your attempt to make even one of the best parts of Halloween scary by naming it with the possible consequences of overindulgence.
Oddly Orange Oreos
- Halloween Oreos (orange cream filling vs. the standard white)
They don't come out but during Halloween. Make sure you pick them up when you see them for they go fast.
Witches' Brew 1998
- 500 ml (5 parts) Midori
- 800 ml (8 parts) vodka
- 2 liters (20 parts) ginger ale
- 200 ml (2 parts) water
Serve to the adult's only.
Witches' Brew 2000
- four 48 oz cans pineapple juice
- one 96 oz bottle orange juice
- four 2 liter bottles lemon-lime soda
- one 1.75 liter bottle vodka
- one 1.75 liter bottle rum
Adults Only. This one pretty much fills a 12-quart cauldron. All measurements are approximate. Adjust to your own taste. Mix well. Pour into your cauldron, preferably with chunks of dry ice to create the bubbling steam effect. (Be careful NOT to drink or eat or in any way come in direct contact with skin with any chunks of dry ice - you can get burned by the extreme cold!)
