Halloween Creepy Crawler Pie Recipe
1 ready-made chocolate cookie pie crust
1/4 gallon orange sherbet
3/4 cup chocolate sauce
10 gummy worms
Soften sherbet slightly and spoon into pie shell. Drizzle with chocolate sauce to form "spider web" design. Freeze
for at least one hour. Decorate with "worms".
NOTE: Do not freeze pie too long or it will be difficult to cut
through the gummy worms.
Molasses Popcorn Balls
10 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
2/3 cup molasses
1 tsp. vinegar
1/4 tsp. salt
3 tbs. butter or margarine
Put sugar, water, molasses, vinegar and salt into a pot. Heat & stir until it starts to boil. Boil gently, without stirring, until it reaches the hard ball stage.
Remove from heat. Add butter/margarine. Pour over popcorn in a large bowl.
Mix until popcorn is coated with syrup. Form into balls.
Makes 12 - 15 popcorn balls. Hard ball stage is 270F or when you drop a bit in cold water and it forms a hard ball.
Orange Worms
2 cans Apricot halves packed in light syrup
4 Envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 c Orange juice
Wiggle these worms any way you want on your plate. If you like, give them 'eyes' made from licorice bits. Place apricots in colander and let drain. Place drained apricots in food processor, cover, and whirl until well blended. Place gelatin in 3 quart pan, add orange juice, and let5 stand for 5 minutes to soften gelatin. Place pan on burner and bring to a boil over med/high heat, stirring with whisk. Turn off burner and remove pan to rack. Add apricots and mix with whisk until well blended. Pour into baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until set. Use butter knife to cut gelatin crosswise into 9 inch long, 1 inch wide strips. (you should have about 13 strips) Use pancake turner to remove strips to serving plate. Use your hands to twist strips into worm shapes. Makes 13 worms.
Witches' Brew
2 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
3 tablespoons finely chopped and peeled fresh ginger
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 chilled bottle (25.4 ounces) sparkling cider (about 3 1/4 cups)
1 quart chilled cranberry juice cocktail
1 liter chilled club soda or seltzer
1 cup dark rum (optional)
In small saucepan, bring cinnamon, cloves, ginger, water and sugar to boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Cool syrup. (Syrup may be made ahead up to 1 week and chilled, covered). In punch bowl, combine remaining ingredients and strain syrup through fine sieve into punch. Stir punch and add ice blocks. Makes about 13 cups.
Toasted Tongues
6 Egg whites
1 cup Sugar
Red food coloring
Pink or red cake crystals
With an adult's help, position an oven rack on the lowest shelf, and preheatoven to 2ooF. Separate the whites from the yolks of the eggs into two small bowls. Make sure there are no yolks in the bowl of whites. Rapidly beat the eggs until they form stiff peaks. Slowly stir spoonfuls of sugar into the whites and continue to beat until the entire cup of sugar has been added. the whites should now form stiff, shiny peaks. Add tow to three drops of red food coloring. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. To form tongues: Spoon about 3 tablespoons of meringue in the shape of a
tongue onto the parchment paper. Tongues should be the length of the popsicle sticks. Press a popsicle stick gently into the center of the tongue, leaving about 2" of
stick hanging out. Bake about 3 hours or until tongues are completely dry to the touch. Allow to cool completely before carefully lifting them off the paper. Makes about 12 little lickers.
Magical Hats
1 C. tiny marshmallows
1/2 C. peanuts
1/2 C. candy corn
1/2 C. large milk chocolate pieces
20 plain, colored and/or chocolate ice cream cones
6 (2 oz.) squares chocolate- or vanilla-flavored candy coating, melted
20 (2- to 3-inch) chocolate cookies
Assorted small candies
In a medium bowl stir together marshmallows, peanuts, candy corn and chocolate pieces. Set mixture aside.
Place ice cream cones on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Spread outside of cones with melted chocolate or vanilla coating. If desired, sprinkle small candies on the cone before the coating dries completely.* Let coating dry. Turn cones upside down and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the marshmallow mixture. Place the cones upside down inside a mug and brush a generous amount of melted chocolate or vanilla coating along the bottom edge of the cone. Press a cookie against the coating and let dry. Carefully turn the cone right side up onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
*If desired, leave some cones plain and decorate after filling. Decorate the outside of the plain cones with small candies, using the melted coating to stick the candies onto the cone.
Sicko serving suggestion: To serve coated tongues, use a toothpick to spread a thin layer of mucus (marshmallow topping) down the length of the lickers.

cookies shaped like pumpkins, witches, and ghosts
pumpkin pie
roasted pumpkin seeds (mmmmmmm!!!)
candy bowls
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
salt
1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
3/4 cup multicolored candy sprinkles (jimmies), as desired
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease or line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter in a mixing bowl until light colored and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth. Add food coloring, if desired. Gradually mix in the confectioners' sugar, flour, and salt to make a smooth dough.
Place dough into cookie press cylinder fitted with 1 inch sawtooth ribbon disk. Press dough into long strips on prepared cookie sheets. Use a paring knife dipped into flour to score the strips every two inches.
Bake in preheated oven until edges are slightly golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from oven, cool slightly, and cut along score lines while they are still warm. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt white chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler placed over medium heat, or in the microwave. Add food coloring, if desired. Spread white chocolate icing on the bottom of one cookie and place the bottom of a second cookie into the icing to form a sandwich. Place cookie sandwich onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat to assemble remaining cookies, and refrigerate on the baking sheet 10 minutes to set icing. Remove and dip ends of cookies into white chocolate, then into candy sprinkles. Place cookies on wax paper until white chocolate is set.
BRAIN DIP
2 avocados
1/2 cup prepared salsa
1 head cauliflower
6 thin slices red and blue fruit leather
DIRECTIONS
Slice the avocados in half. Remove the seeds and set aside. Scoop the avocado out of the skin into a bowl. Mash with a fork or whisk and stir in the salsa. Set aside. Slice off one side of each pit to make it flat and expose the cores of the pits. They will look like eyes.
Remove all of the leaves from the cauliflower and remove the stem, leaving a nice hollow area with the outer part of the head intact. Use toothpicks to hold it together if it starts to fall apart.
Place the cauliflower into a small bowl, so that the hollow is facing upwards and most of the cauliflower is up out of the bowl. The bowl is just for stability. Fill with the avocado dip and arrange the pits as eyes. Decorate the white ''brain'' by weaving thin strands of red and blue fruit leather between the florets to make veins and arteries. I wrap the bowl with cheesecloth and decorate with red food coloring to make it even more horrific
BLACK PUNCH!!
1 (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened grape soft drink mix
1 (.13 ounce) envelope unsweetened orange soft drink mix
2 cups white sugar
3 quarts cold water
1 liter ginger ale
DIRECTIONS
To make a frozen hand, wash a disposable glove, fill with water, seal with a rubber band and freeze until hard.
Stir together grape soft drink mix, orange soft drink mix, sugar and water until solids are dissolved. Combine with chilled ginger ale just before serving. Dip the frozen hand briefly in warm water, then peel off the glove. Float the prepared hand in the punch bowl for a ghastly effect

I just picked up the latest hand out from Jello, bakers chocolate, cool whip that has the neatest holiday ideas.
Web sites are: www.jello.com, www.bakerschocolate.com, coolwhip.com and www.katiebrown.com.
Have a great party
I saw on a website, I can't remember which one it was now, but if you are having like a punch, take a rubber glove and fill it with water then tie the end and freeze it. Once its done freezing, you can run under warm water for just a second, then take the glove off the ice. Then you have a frozen hand, put your hand in your punch and it looked like a hand is floating in there. Plus it would keep it cold.
well i don't know a recipe but i know a website-www.foodnetwork.com
then you should know what to do from there!!
tell me how it goes!!!!!!!!
I know my answer probably won't even begin to compete with some of the detailed answers here...but it was such a cool question I can't help but throw my two cents in.
It's all about presentation. Have your guests put on blind folds and then serve them eye ball soup.(Seedless grapes in yogurt.) Give them points for eating and of course you have to serve a Bloody Mary - though I prefer a Bloody Maria. (It's easy, just pick up some spicy V8, a shot of decent vodka, Worcestershire Sauce to taste, a little lime juice and a nice stalk of celery to stir.)
Also, thick spaghetti noodles make great brains, grilled link sausage makes good entrails and Mrs. Butter Worth syrup with red food coloring makes awesome fake blood.
LOL, Damn, now you've inspired me and I'm going to have to plan a get together of my own.
Have fun...and Happy Halloween!
