Question – What Halloween treats can i make?

20th August 2009

I will be spending Halloween with my big sister.  I’m 17 and have a tight budget,  so what Halloween themed desserts, snacks, and drinks could we make  that would be inexpensive? I have braces and I can’t eat anything sticky like caramel and very hard things.

Strained Eyeballs

6 hard boiled eggs
6 oz  cream cheese, beaten
7 oz stuffed Green olives
Red food coloring

Shell eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Discard the yolks. Stuff the centres with cream cheese. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, stuffing facing up. This will make it look like a creepy green eye with red pupil! For a finishing touch, dip the end of a toothpick in red food coloring and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese. Yummy!

Simple Pimples

1 punnet of cherry tomatoes
Flavoured Cream Cheese Spread

Core tomatoes with a carrot peeler or knife. Drain excess tomato juice. Using a butter knife, fill holes in tomatoes with cream cheese. Give each pimple a gentle squeeze and arrange on a plate. Yuk!

Magic Brew
Ingredients:

1 8-ounce vanilla yogurt
1 cup orange juice
4 cups orange soda

Instructions:
Put the vanilla yogurt, orange juice, and 2 cups of the orange soda in the blender container. Cover blender with lid. Blend on high until well combined.

Carefully pour the liquid into  ice cube trays. Cover the trays with plastic wrap and place in the freezer. Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.

Just before serving, remove the frozen cubes from 1 of the ice cube trays. Put them in the blender with 1 cup of the orange soda. Cover and blend on high speed until slushy.  Pour into 6 glasses. Repeat with remaining frozen cubes and orange soda. Serves twelve.

Ghoul’s Punch
Ingredients:

6 cups chilled unsweetened pineapple juice
3 cups cold water
1 6-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate
4  orange slices

Frozen Hands (recipe follows)

Instructions:
Punch: In a punch bowl stir together pineapple juice, water, and lemonade concentrate. Float orange slices and Frozen Hands in punch. Serves eight

Frozen Hands: Carefully pour a litre of cranberry juice into 2 or 3  washed and clean plastic gloves. Do not overfill. Fill the gloves so that the fingers can move easily. Tightly seal the ends of the gloves with rubber bands. Place on a baking tray lined with paper towel and freeze until firm. Using clean scissors, cut the gloves off the frozen hands. If any fingers break off, add them separately to punch.

    Try sweet potato tempura.
    It’s a Japanese dish but it tastes like sweet potato/pumpkin pie (i cant really taste the difference to be honest >>;; ) and it’s nice and orange so they look like little fried pumpkins.

    What you do is you slice up a sweet potato into about 1/2 inch slices (or find some yam patties, the Ingles near me sells them but I don’t know about elsewhere) and you dip them in a batter consisting of 1 cup of flour, one cup of cold water, and one egg, but don’t over mix it. Anyway, dip the yams into the batter and let them sit for a bit while you heat up some olive oil to 350 degrees (F, about 177 celsius). When the oil is ready coat the batter-covered yams into some flour and cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown. To make them even more Halloween-y, cut out Jack-o-Lantern faces in the middle of the disks and use the extra bits as garnish. This stuff tastes good plain, with brown or powdered sugar, and with vanilla ice cream of course.

    You could also make gignersnap cookies and shape them into a finger before you bake them. Use a sliced almond at the end for the fingernail.
