Kitty Litter Cake
Great Halloween cake! You'll need a new kitty litter
box, box liner and litter scoop as "props" to get the full
effect with this cake!

Makes 20 servings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 (18.25 ounce) package
German chocolate cake mix
1 (18.25 ounce) package white
cake mix
2 (3.5 ounce) packages
instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla
sandwich cookies
3 drops green food coloring
1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls


Directions
1 Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package
directions (any size pan).
2 Prepare pudding according to package directions and
chill until ready to assemble.
3 Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food
processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4
cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix.
4 When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them
into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie
crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all
of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy.
5 Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put
cake mixture into box.
6 Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave
safe dish and heat until softened. Shape the ends so that
they are no longer blunt, and curve the tootsie rolls
slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle
with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small
amount of the green colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top.
7 Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until
almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle
lightly with some of the green cookie crumbs. Heat the
remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before.
Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture.
Sprinkle with any remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining
tootsie roll over side of litter box and sprinkle with a few
green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper for a
gross Halloween dessert.

Another fun one is Spagetti with Eyeballs.

Cook your favorite sauce ( red sauce ) and spagettie noodles as normal, shape meatballs around green stuffed olives leaving the ends of the olives exposed. Pemento stuffed olives are cool but the large garlic stufffed ones give the glazed over look of dead eyes.

Serve on plates with the "eyes" looking at your guests or kids.

My kids used to love this one.

The source of this one is lost, sorry to anyone who it belongs to. Not so much a gross out recipe but the food coloring makes it special:

Hot Bacon Cheddar Spread


This is another one of my "staple" appetizer recipes. With the addition of a little bit of orange food coloring it became a great orange dish for a Halloween buffet. This is a very savory spread that is easy to make and sure to please everyone. It is especially popular with children. You can substitute chopped pepperoni for the bacon if desired.

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon crushed thyme
salt and pepper
orange food coloring
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced scallions
8 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
1/2 cup crushed ritz crackers

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, spices, and food coloring until well mixed. Add the cheddar cheese and scallions. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with bacon and crackers. Bake for 15 minutes.

Found this one on www.recipezaar.com , posted by queenkungfu

Banana Dog

A fun take on the hot dog. It would be perfect for a young child's "cooking" lesson.


1 servings 1 dog
5 min 5 min prep


1 hot dog bun (whole wheat would be the healthy choice)
1 tablespoon peanut butter or cream cheese
1 tablespoon strawberry jam (any kind of jam or honey would work)
1 banana, peeled
raisins
shredded coconut
peanuts

spread one side of the hot dog bun with peanut butter (or cream cheese).
Spread other side with jam or honey.
Sprinkle on other ingredients.
Note: you can pack this for lunch if you spread the peanut butter on the bun, leave the banana unpeeled (to be peeled and put in bun by child), and put all the fixins in little sandwich baggies.

We are just days away from Hallowed Eve and no one has posted ....

I thought for sure the imaginations of this group could come up with some gross, scary or otherworldly recipes LOL!

Good point. I've been passing it around among the people I know who do kiddies' literature, and it's making a huge hit.

I love the Mexican Dia de los Muertos candy skulls associated with All Souls' Day. I never knew they were this easy to make, though. Here's a site that gives step by step instructions -- easy enough for kids to make, and you don't need special molds either, you can mold them by hand and have fun poking in the eyeholes:

Those are some great Halloween recipes. It wouldn't be Halloween around here with out some spiced cider. Here's some you make in your crockpot

Serve this hot spiced cider right from the slow cooker.
INGREDIENTS:
1 gallon Cider
4 small cinnamon sticks
20 whole cloves

PREPARATION:
Put all in the slow cooker or crockpot and and turn on high until hot and then turn on low or just put on low and leave it. We serve from the slow cooker or crockpot all day. Lovely drink for winter weather

Roasted Heart

Found this in my files...sounds a little time consuming, but well worth it. Here's what the original poster (?) had to say: "This is probably the recipe that I am most proud of in this collection of 100+ Halloween recipes. It is the piece de resistance. It looks great, tastes heavenly, and can even be gross for the kids. It can be elegant, or it can be kitsch. It works on a lot of levels. The recipe is very simple and quick to make. I have it down to under half an hour from start to finish (we like it so much we make it a lot, except that we use a low fat tomato sauce instead). The glossy slightly moist bright red pepper looks exactly like a heart. The consistancy as you cut into the dish is very realistic as well. The red sauce oozing out is just the frosting on the cake. There really is only one thing to be careful about, and that is making sure that you be very careful when peeling the red pepper to keep it intact. It is essential to the whole effect of the dish that the "heart" looks whole. For a more "bloodlike" sauce, add some red food coloring to deepen the color, maybe with one small drop of black for depth. Enjoy!"

1¼ hours | 15 min prep

SERVES 6

1/3 cup tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 small onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
salt
pepper
6 chicken breast halves
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
3 roasted red peppers, 6 halves
Mix together the tomato paste, crushed garlic, 1 teaspoons Italian spices, and brown sugar in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook for at least 20 minutes, stirring frequently.
While the tomato sauce is cooking, fill a large pot with enough water to easily cover the chicken breasts by a few inches, but don't add the chicken yet. Add the onion, garlic, 1 tablespoons Italian spices, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Toss the chicken breasts into the pot, cover, and turn off the heat. Leave on the burner, but let sit for about 20 minutes. Do not peek. Remove the thickest piece of chicken, and check to make sure that it is thoroughly cooked. If not replace to the pot, recover, and let sit for a few minutes more.
When the chicken is cooked, drain thoroughly, and discard the vegetables and spices along with the water.
While the chicken breasts are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan, but don't brown.
Add the flour and whisk to form a roux. Cook until lightly browned, then slowly add the heavy cream. Whisk briskly. Continue to cook the sauce over medium heat until thickened.
Add the tomato paste mixture and mix well. Lower the heat to keep warm while you assemble the dish.
Place a pool of the tomato sauce on an individual serving dish. Top with a chicken breast, and thoroughly cover with more of the tomato sauce. Top with half of a roasted pepper. Serve hot.

Halloween is celebrated more and more often over here, too. For your Halloween party you might make these

SCARY SPIDERS

2 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 pck. baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/4 c margarine or butter
1 c sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 pck. vanilla powder or vanilla sugar
1 pck. red candies for decoration

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a saucepan melt chocolate over low heat. Let cool. In a small
bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat
margarine/butter on low speed until creamy. Stir in egg, vanilla and
chocolate. Add flour mixture and mix well, forming a stiff dough.

To make a spider, shape a 2-inch flat oval for the body. Make the
spiders head by flattening a circle about 1/2 inch wide. Shape dough
for eight legs, each about 2 inches long and less than 1/4 inch
wide. Attach the head and legs to the body. Use 2 red candies for
the eyes.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes. Let spiders cool on
baking sheet to avoid breaking when removing. Makes about 20 spiders.

If you could find an old mannikin's head or wig head and saw the top off, then put a nicely chilled serving bowl in the top of the head and serve it that way?

Creepy Hands


2-1/2 Cups Boiling Water
4 Pkgs. (4-Serving Size Each) Jell-o Gelatin, any flavor

Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in medium bowl at least 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Refrigerate 10 minutes to cool.

Meanwhile, soak two clean disposable gloves in warm water; rinse well. Squeeze gloves dry. Spray insides of gloves with cooking spray. Gloves will be very difficult to remove later if they are not sprayed. Slowly pour gelatin into each glove; tightly tie top of each glove closed with twist-tie or rubber band. Place on baking sheet. Refrigerate 4 hours or until gelatin is set.

Cut gloves away from gelatin "hands" with scissors. Add to large punch bowl of chilled prepared Kool-aid Drink Mix, Country Time Lemonade Drink Mix or clear carbonated beverage. Or, place hands on plate and use as a decoration for your Halloween table.

Terrible Tapas: Severed Fingers Halloween Recipe
This fun but disgusting Halloween food looks totally realistic, tastes great, and cooks up in about 5 minutes. It amazes me that something this easy can make such a gross Halloween food! Really fun.
You can also try a small piece of onion for the nail, if you like, but I think the yellow bell pepper gives the best impression of thick, gross-looking yellow nails. Recipe below is for one serving-- just multiply to make as many as you need.

Ingredients:
3 cocktail sausages
3 triangles of yellow bell pepper
Ketchup or BBQ sauce, as needed

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
2. To make each serving of three fingers, create 3 shallow horizontal slices about halfway up each cocktail sausage for "knuckles."
3. Boil sausages until cooked, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
4. With a sharp knife, cut a small flat space at the tip of the sausage for a "nail." Using a bit of ketchup, mayonnaise, or bbq sauce, press a nail into each finger.
5. Fill a cup (in the photo it's a plastic muffin cup, but you can use a ramekin, a little clear glass, or whatever) with a couple tablespoons of ketchup, bbq sauce (these recipes are great!), or any other red-colored sauce. Place assembled fingers in the cup, burying the ends slightly in the sauce. Serve hot.
Tip: Heating the sauce helps keep this digusting Halloween food from cooling down too fast.
