Holloween Collection part II

SKELETON BONE COOKIES

With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat egg whites and sugar with orange peel and baking powder until blended. Gradually add nuts and flour, beating until mixture is thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill until firm enough to handle, at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.

Lightly flour your hands and pinch off a 3 tb size piece of dough. On a lightly floured board, use the palms of both hands to evenly roll an 8 inch long rope. Cut rope in half; roll each half out again to 8 inches. Fold 1 inch of each end back onto rope; pinch ends to make bone-end shapes. Repeat to shape all the dough. Place bones 1 inch apart on buttered and flour-dusted 12 x 15 inch baking sheets. Bake in a 325F oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottoms, about 20 minutes.

"BUGS"

Melt chips in double boiler & pour over noodles and nuts. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Chill until firm.

COOL WHIP GRAVEYARD TREAT

From a Cool Whip advertisement - October 1994. Makes 15-18 single servings.

Dessert:

Decorations: Mix together 2 cups of the cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and margarine in a 13x9x2" pan. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan to create a crust. Refrigerate.

Beat cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in 1/2 of the Cool Whip. Spread over crust.

Stir boiling water into Jello in bowl for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes together to make 1-1/2 cups. Stir ice water into Jello until thickened. Remove any remaining ice. Spoon Jello over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.

Spread remaining Cool Whip over Jello layer. Sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs. Decorate as a "graveyard" by poking sandwich cookies on end into the dessert. Decorate the cookies as tombstones with the decorator icing. Scatter candy corn and pumpkins around on the surface.

PUMPKIN BREAD

Makes 2 loaves. Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, water, oil and pumpkin. Stir until blended. Add nuts. Mix well. Pour into two 9x5" loaf pans. Bake 1 hour. Cool slightly and take out of pans to let cool on a rack. This tastes best if you wrap, refrigerate and wait a day to eat it. It keeps well in the refrigerator and can be frozen.

TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Even the seeds get into the act. Toast your supply in the time of plenty, just before the frost touches the colourful autumn leaves. They will keep for 1 year stored in the freezer or a few months in a cool place in sealed jars.

Remove the fibres from the seeds of a large pumpkin and place seeds in a saucepan. Top with cold water, add 1 tsp salt, cover and simmer 2 hours. Drain and spread on paper towelling 4-8 hours to dry. When completely dry, place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with a few spoonfuls of salad oil -- just enough to make seeds slightly oily when rubbed together.

Set in a 350 F oven for 20-35 minutes, or until nutty brown, stirring a few times with a fork. When done, spread on brown paper, salt to taste and let cool. Eat as is, immediately, or store, and if you then want a crisper seed, warm up in a 350 F oven for 15 minutes.

CHEESE EYEBALLS

Combine cheese and butter. Add salt, paprika, and flour and mix well. Measure approximately one ts of this mixture and form an "eyeball" around an olive. Turn the olive in the "eyeball" so that it is "staring" outward. Line up the eyeballs on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in 400F oven for 15 minutes.

STRAINED EYEBALLS

Half eggs widthwise. Remove yolks and fill the hole with cream cheese, smoothing surface as much as possible. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimiento up, for an eerie green iris and red pupil. Dip a toothpick into ketchup and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese.

CRISPY CATERPILLAR COCOONS

From the book "Gross Grub" (which is full of disgusting recipes). Posted on EAT-L by Lailani Tilley .

Preheat oven according to directions on the crescent-roll package. Prepare the sausages according to the directions on the package. Use tongs to remove the cooked sausages from the frying pan and place them on paper towels. Allow to cool ten to fifteen minutes. Cut the sausages in half lengthwise. Then use the rounded tip of a carrot peeler to scoop out a long, shallow trough down the length of each half. Squeeze a thin line of mustard into each trough. Separate the crescent-roll dough into its pre-cut triangle pieces, and lay them flat on an ungreased cookie sheet. To form insect larvae, take two sausage halves and, with their mustard-filled sides touching, put them together to form a whole. Place a whole larva at the wide end of each dough triangle, and roll up dough as you would regular crescent rolls. Pinch the ends and seams of the rolls closed. Bake according to package instructions. (Allow the little buggers to cool fifteen to twenty minutes before chowing down on their tender torsos!). Serves: 4 goo gobblers

GNARLED WITCHES FINGERS

Grease cookie sheet with oil, set aside. Carefully cut chicken breasts part way to create five "fingers" (the uncut part will be the palm of the hand). Slice them a little crooked for effect. Dust in flour, dip in egg, coat in bread crumbs, broil 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Trim the tips with the olive fingernails and serve on lettuce.

WORMS AU GRATIN

Worms: 6-7 oz egg noodles, cooked with 8 oz spaghetti, broken into short pieces Toss with: 2 T butter or margarine 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese Place in greased casserole. Dirt: 2 slices whole wheat bread, toasted, crumbled into tiny crumbs 1 T butter or margarine, melted 1/4 tsp salt Mix dirt ingredients together, sprinkle over worms. Place under broiler for 5 minutes.

RADIOACTIVE PUNCH

Easiest is to mix something yellow with something blue. Orange juice and Mountain Dew are good for the yellow, Great Bluedini kool-aid is good for the blue. You'll end up with a radioactive shade of green. If you're using a punch bowl, try this: Get some of those latex gloves, fill them with water or juice tinted with food colouring, freeze. Unmold carefully and float the disembodied hands in the punch bowl. Dry ice and back lighting are good for effect too."

NUCLEAR WASTE PUNCH

The end result is a sort of greenish-brown liquid with scummy bits floating in it and a THICK layer of scum on top. Tastes wonderful, especially if you dunk chocolate bars in. (These are referred to as Control Rods, and the bar of preference is a Toffee Crisp, if only because the crisped rice pieces start floating around in the drink and making it look even nastier)

GLYCOL PUNCH

"Glycol Punch has two primary ingredients: Diet Mountain Dew, which has an decidedly evil odd yellow glow to it. Diet is necessary so that you don't over sugar people. (Alternately, use regular Mountain Dew and mix Kool-Aid with less sugar than usual). BTW, we also tried other sodas, including Squirt, 7-up and Sprite, but none had that evil yellowness."

"A flourescent blue liquid. I know for a fact that the raspberry "little hugs" drinks for kids are the perfect color. There is a Kool-Aid blue flavor that I'm sure would work well, too. For the "little hugs" the ratio is about 4-5 barrels to 1 2-liter bottle of soda. Adjust as you think best. I'd start by pouring out the soda and adding the blue. You know you've got it right when you get the sickly yellow-green of many Glycol-based Antifreezes. Plus, when you drink, it fizzes!"

"AQUARIUM" JELLO

Use a new or well cleaned goldfish bowl. In the bottom, the original recipe called for red-hots as the 'gravel', but I plan to use the Jelly Belly beans that look like rocks. Mix up as much blue Jello as your bowl will hold. Mix using ice cubes & cold water instead of the cold water called for on the box. Pour this into the bowl over a knife blade or something to keep from disturbing the gravel. If you want it to have 'seaweed', poke a couple of pieces of purple endive or something similar down into the gravel. When the whole thing starts to jell, use a wooden skewer to push gummy fish into different parts of the bowl. If you're going to be able to supervise the serving, you could even add a plastic diver man, etc.
