Makes 10 servings

SNACK PUMPKIN DELIGHT

PUMPKIN DELIGHT
1 (29 oz.) can Pumpkin .
1 (13 oz.) can Evaporated Milk .
1 cup Sugar .
1/4 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice .
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon .
3 Eggs .
1 box Yellow Cake Mix .
1 cup Pecans (chopped) .
1 cup Butter or margarine .(melted)
Beat together pumpkin, milk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and eggs. Pour into 9x12 glass baking dish that has been sprayed with a vegetable oil (such as "Pam"). Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle on pecans. Drizzle melted butter over the top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Chill. Cut into squares, top with whipping cream, and enjoy!

WEREWOLF CLAWS

WEREWOLF CLAWS
Nonstick vegetable spray
10 chicken cutlets
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 12-oz. can large pitted black olives, drained
Ketchup
1 head of lettuce, shredded

1. Spray a cookie sheet with the nonstick spray. Slice the cutlets into strips about the width of one bony finger, the more crooked the better.

2. Place the flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs into three separate bowls.

3. Dust the chicken strips with flour, dip them into the eggs and roll them in the bread crumbs. You probably won't use all the flour or crumbs.

4. Place the strips on the cookie sheet and broil about 5 minutes on each side until brown.

5. To make the fingernails, cut the olives in half lengthwise. Trim the halves into pointy nail shapes, and place one on the end of each chicken strip. Press them into the chicken and, if you need help in making them stick, use some ketchup as glue.

6. Serve the claws on a head (of shredded lettuce, of course).

Makes 10 servings.

EYEBALL PUNCH

2 quarts Red Kool-Aid
1 liter 7-up or Ginger Ale
1 batch Jell-O jiggler (prepared and set) in 11x14 pan
20-30 green/yellow grapes peeled or just cut in half

Before serving cut Jell-O jigglers into long thin strips. Combine Kool-Aid and 7-up in a punch bowl or "witches caldron". Add jiggler strips and grapes and serve.

NOTE: Peeled grapes are more "slimey" but if you cut the grapes in half the cut end picks up the red color and makes a "kewl" bloodshot eyeball

WITCHES FINGERS

WITCHES FINGERS
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup icing
1 egg
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 cup whole blanched almonds
1 tube red decorator gel
In bowl beat together butter, sugar, egg, almond extract and vanilla; beat in flour; baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Working with one-quarter of the dough at a time and keeping remaining dough refrigerated, roll heaping teaspoons full of dough into finger shape for each cookie. Press almond firmly into one end for nail.
Squeeze in center to create knuckle shape. Using a paring knife make slashes in several places to form knuckle. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet in 325 degree over for 20-25 minutes or until pale or golden. Let cool for three minutes.
Lift up almond; squeeze red decorator gel onto nail bed and press almond back in place so gel oozes out from underneath.
Remove from cookie sheet and let cool. Repeat with remaining dough. Makes about 5 doz. fingers!

SNACK -OREO COOKIE BLACK CATS (snack)

You will need Oreo cookies
Candy corn, M&M's
Red licorice string
Frosting (tinted black)
Place the M&M's on the Oreo for the eyes use the frosting to glue them in place.
Place the candy corn on the top of the Oreo to resemble ears.
Make a red licorice mouth and whiskers.
Use a chocolate chip or red M&M for the nose.

GHOSTS -snack

Have your child make a pattern for the cookies by drawing a ghost shape on the cardboard and cutting it out. On a lightly floured surface, roll out sugar cookie dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Lay the pattern on the dough and use a butter knife to cut out ghost shapes (it takes two to make each cookie pop).

Place half the cutouts on a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Lay a Popsicle stick in the center of each one, top with another ghost, and then pinch together the edges of the two layers. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. Place the baked cookies on a rack to cool.

Next, spread on a glaze made by mixing 1 cup confectioners sugar with 2 tablespoons milk. Before the glaze hardens, top off your specters by pressing on eyes and a mouth fashioned from snips of black string licorice.

RICE KRISPIE PUMPKIN TREATS

RICE KRISPIE PUMPKIN TREATS
Follow the recipe for making Rice Krispie treats. Add orange food coloring to the marshmallows as they melt to create an orange color. Instead of pressing them into a square pan, roll them into balls to create pumpkin shapes. Make a small batch of Rice Krispie dying them green with the food coloring. Make into small stem shapes and place on top of the orange balls. When cool, make pumpkin faces on the pumpkins with the brown icing. Chill to set the icing and enjoy!

SNACK -WITCH'S BREW

Witch's Brew

4 1/2 cups cornstarch
2 cups water with food coloring added (green or purple are kewl at Halloween)
Mix above in bowl.
Give some to the kids in their hands.
It is a liquid in their hands and turns into a solid when it hits the table.
If it dries up add water sparingly.
Who says science isn't fun!

VAMPIRE FANGS IN BLOOD

VAMPIRE FANGS IN BLOOD

8 large Red Delicious apples
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp. sugar
1 10-oz. jar strawberry or cherry sauce

1. Wash, peel and core the apples. Then cut each apple into 8 pieces.

2. Dip the cut apples into the lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

3. To prepare the fangs, cut the apple slices into long, narrow triangles, making pointy toothlike shapes. Redip them in the lemon juice and lightly sprinkle them with sugar.

4. Arrange the fangs on a serving platter with the strawberry dipping sauce in the middle.

Make sure you splatter some of the "blood" over the fangs.

Makes 10 servings.

SPIDER WEB COOKIES

SPIDER WEB COOKIES
Make plain round sugar cookies special for Halloween. First frost them with white icing. Then mix some icing with dark food coloring (I use deep purple). Put the dark icing in a plastic sandwich bag and poke a hole in the bottom corner. As you squeeze out the dark icing make circle inside of circle on the cookie.(Most cookies will take 4 or 5 circles. Before the icing dries take a toothpick and draw a line from the center to the outside parameter of the cookie all the way around. Voila SPIDER WEB COOKIES!

EYEBALLS

First, place an egg in a small saucepan and cover it with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain the hot water and run cold water over the shell. Then peel the egg and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolk into a bowl and mash it with 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise, a dab of mustard and a pinch of salt. Spoon the mixture back into the egg-white halves and top each with a ripe olive.

PUMPKIN SEEDS

I wash and dry my pumpkin seeds. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter and stir in 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce. Stir in seeds and spread on baking sheet with sides. Sprinkle with seasoned salt and bake at 350 degrees. Turn/scrape once during baking. It takes about 10 minutes. I spread them on a cookie sheet, spray with PAM, and sprinkle with salt or cinnamon & sugar, roast till crisp, cool and enjoy!
