Halloween Treats

Witch Fingers!

These were a hit at the office Halloween potluck, so I made a second batch for the kids. The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 cup (1 stick) very soft butter
3-4 drops green food coloring
Absolutely Almond Pound Cake Mix™
Whole almonds

Directions:
Combine first 3 ingredients; stir to blend. Add pound cake mix, stir until dough forms. (Squeeze with hands, if necessary to form dough). Roll dough into “fingers” approximately 3-inches long and 1/2-inch wide; press an almond on the end of each one to make a fingernail. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Score the middle of the fingers two or three times with a sharp knife to make knuckles. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on baking sheet. Makes 32-34 fingers.

Crab-Witches

Ingredients:
Creamy Crab™ Cheese Ball Mix
8 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise (real mayonnaise only)
5-6 oz. lump crabmeat
1/2 cup minced celery
Small party buns, split

Directions:
Combine first 5 ingredients; chill 2 hours. Spread cream cheese mixture on party buns to make small sandwiches; serve immediately. Makes 10-12 servings.


Edible Eyes

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika & Garlic Dip Mix
8 oz. softened cream cheese
8 small pimento-stuffed green olives, halved

Directions:
Combine first 2 ingredients; chill 2 hours. Roll cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls; press half an olive into each ball to make eyes. Chill until served. Makes 16 eyes.


Banana Pumpkin Bars

Ingredients:
Pumpkin Patch™
1 cup water
2 eggs
2 bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions:
Combine ingredients in a large bowl; stir until blended. Spread batter in a grease 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely. Makes 24 servings.

Holiday Ideas - Halloween & Harvest Parties!

Simply Spooktacular Ideas

No tricks - just treats!

Make our Pumpkin Patch™ in cupcake tins, top with cream cheese frosting and accent each one with a sweet spider. (Just roll out a black gumdrop and cut out eight strips for legs. Stick another gumdrop on top, and place in the center of the cupcake.)

Create an apparition appetizer! Shape our Creamy Crab™ Cheese Ball Mix into a ghost and add two sliced black olives for the eyes.

Mold cream cheese into the shape of a hand on a small plate; press in whole almonds at the tips for fingernails. Spoon Sweet Pepper Jalapeño Jam over the back of the hand as a ghoulish garnish.

Make a quick and creamy pumpkin dip by whisking together cream cheese and canned pumpkin. Stir in a couple scoops of Oh My! Chai®; blend until smooth and chill. Serve with Twisty Grahams™ and sliced fresh fruit.

Want to brew up a special drink for your party? Combine Warm Up! Mulling Spice with cranapple juice, cider or warm wine. Garnish with cinnamon sticks, orange zest or a dollop of whipped cream and Creamy Caramel Sauce.

Hollow out small pumpkins and fill with any of our dips, such as prepared Smoked Paprika & Garlic Dip, Sensational Caesar™ Veggie Dip or Spinach & Herb Dip. Serve with Blue Aztec Chips for a festive touch.

For a drop-dead centerpiece, top Truffle Fudge Brownies with chocolate frosting and stick tombstone-shaped cookies on top to resemble a graveyard.

Start Shopping Today! With so many wickedly easy party ideas, you can create a boo-tiful buffet and still have time to enjoy the party! To order any of the products featured above, simply visit my site to order online, or send me an email. You can view the online catalog HERE.
