Sep 22, 2008
Whether you're making snacks for Trick-or-Treat, school parties or just some homemade fun, these Halloween recipes are sure to please kids of all ages.
Ghost Cookies
With just three ingredients, these cookies are easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 package Nabisco Nutter Butter cookies
- 1 package white chocolate chips or Baker’s white chocolate (6 ounces)
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips for decorating
Melt white chocolate in microwave for one minute or until melted, on high (in microwave safe bowl). Stir and spread melted white chocolate one side of each cookie and lay on cookie sheet or tray. Decorate with chocolate chip “eyes.” You can get more elaborate and dress up your ghosts with decorator’s icing, but chocolate chips make for quick and easy faces.
Breadstick Bones
Devilishly Delicious!
- 1 package refrigerated breadstick dough
- 1 jar pizza or marinara sauce
- Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 Tbs. Worcestershire sauce
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll dough and separate into pieces, stretching each piece into a 12 inch long rope. Tie a “knot” in each end and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake according to directions, usually about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
Mix sauces and cheese together in bowl for dipping.
Eyeball Cupcakes
Little cupcake eyeballs are a fun Halloween treat. Great finger food for parties!
Ingredients
- 1 package cake mix (any flavor)
- 1 container white frosting
- 1 package Life Savers Gummies candies
- Brown Mini M&Ms
- Red Easy Squeeze decorator icing (optional)
Prepare and bake cupcakes according to directions for mini-muffin or mini-cupcakes (usually about 15 minutes). When completely cool, spread with white frosting and decorate each frosted cupcake in the center with a gummy Life Saver. Use mini M&Ms in the center of the Lifesaver for the pupil. You can make the eyes scary by adding “veins” with a red squeezable decorator icing.
Green Ghoul Punch
- 1/2 gallon limeade drink (Kool-Aid type drink mixed up is fine too)
- 1 liter bottle Ginger Ale
- 1/2 gallon lime sherbert
Optional: mini marshmallows and maraschino cherries to float in punch
In large punchbowl, mix Limeadeand Ginger Ale. Add scoops of sherbert and float in cherries and marshmallows if desired.
Chocolate Spiders
One ingredient! This recipe is easy once you get the hang of it.
- 1 package semisweet chocolate chips
Melt chips in microwave, heating on high in 30 second intervals and stirring until just melted. You can add ½ tsp cooking oil to chips if desired, but not necessary.
Once melted, carefully put chips into pastry bag with 1/8 inch tip or cut a hole in a heavy freezer bag (when melted chocolate is cool enough to handle). Spread a sheet of wax paper onto a cookie sheet and then pipe spider bodies (about the size of a quarter or smaller) and eight legs for each candy spider. This recipe can be made with a mixture of peanut butter and chocolate chips too. If you wrap them in little snack bags, these can even be passed out for Trick-or-Treat. Simple and delicious!
