Creepy Bites!
fun size Halloween candy (chocolate squares like Snickers or Milky Way)
pretzels, broken pieces
1 box red hots
Put the pretzel “legs” on the sides of the chocolates and use the red hots for eyes! Muahahahahahahahahaha!
Spooky Dirt Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
3 1/2 cups milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
32 ounces Oreo’s (or the generic kind)
Chop cookies very fine in food processor. The white cream will disappear. Mix butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a bowl. In a large bowl mix milk, pudding and whipped topping together. Combine pudding mixture and cream mixture together. Layer in fun Halloween candy container (use the plastic pumpkin, ghost etc), but you’ll want one with a wide opening so it’s easy to serve. Start layering with cookies then cream mixture. Repeat layers. Chill until ready to serve. Put fun gummy candies in the cake like bugs and worms and put the creepy bites on top of the cake!
Caramel Apples
6 apples
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
2 Tablespoons milk
Remove the stem from each apple and press a craft stick into the top. Butter a baking sheet. Place caramels and milk in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave 2 minutes, stirring once. Allow to cool briefly. Roll each apple quickly in caramel sauce until well coated. Place on prepared sheet to set.
Hot Dog Mummies
1 11-ounce can of refrigerated bread sticks
1 12 pack of hot dogs
yellow mustard
For each mummy, separate one bread stick from the roll and use kitchen shears or a knife to slice it in half lengthwise to create two thinner strips. Wrap on strip at a time snugly around the hot dog. Depending on the size of the hot dog, you may not need all all of both strips. Leave about 1/2 inch of hot dog exposed for the face area and continue wrapping the top of the hot dog. Bake the mummies on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes or until bread stick wrapping is golden brown. Remove the mummies from the oven and cool them for 5 minutes. Add yellow mustard eyes just before serving! (Serve with a side of blood…oops I mean ketchup!)

Witch Punch
1 gallon of lime sherbet
2-2 liters of 7Up (or Sprite)
2-2 liters of ginger ale
punch bowl
Thaw the sherbet for about 30-40 minutes before putting it in the punch bowl. Only put about half of it when you start. You’ll want to add the rest later when punch starts running out. Pour some 7UP and ginger ale (equal amounts) on top and use the ladle to get the mixture more married – it will never be completely mixed.
As the punch runs out replace in same order. ALWAYS use ginger ale and 7UP so that the punch won’t be TOO sweet. Ginger Ale evens it all out.
Floating Hand
Fill a kitchen glove with water and tie the end of the glove. Freeze the water filled glove. Place hand in the punch one you have the punch at a good consistency. It keeps the punch cold and makes it spooky!

Fast Fall Mix
1 bag of Chex Mix (whatever flavor you like)
1 bag of Bugles
A handful of mixed nuts (or just your faves, like cashews!)
1 cup of chocolate chip morsels (we use dark chocolate)
A handful of candy corn
1 cup of stick pretzels
I put it all in a big bag and shake to mix. You can also mix it carefully in a big bowl.
Halloween Bark 1 (the one Jodi made
1 bag milk chocolate chips
3 Kit Kats (3 full size packages, 6 individual bars), crushed
3/4 cup pretzels (slim rods or regular)
1/3 cup candy corn
Melt chocolate chips my microwaving for 40 seconds at a time and stirring vigorously in between each zapping. Stir hard – you’ll find they start to melt from their own heat, and this will keep them from burning. Lay out a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper over it. Pour melted chocolate into baking sheet and add Kit Kats, pretzels, and candy corn all over. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

12-14 orange and black sandwich cookies, broken up into large chunks
1 cup pretzels, broken into pieces
1 pound almond bark or white chocolate melts
1 1/2 cups candy corn
20-30 candy eyeballs
1-2 tablespoons of a variety of Halloween food sprinkles.
Melt almond bark according to package. I slowly melted mine in a sauce pan over a low heat, until smooth and shiny. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent burning. In the meantime, cover a large cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Spread broken cookies, pretzels and about 1 cup of the candy corn onto the prepared cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookie mixture, spreading with spatula to coat evenly. Quickly sprinkle remaining candy corn, candy eyeballs and food sprinkles over the almond bark while it is still wet. Place cookie tray into refrigerator until set and firm. Break into small pieces and enjoy!

Transfer each ghost to wax paper and insert a sucker stick into the bottom of the ghost. Let them fully harden. Then dip the tops of each ghost into some melted white chocolate or almond bark and add a couple of mini chocolate chips for the eyes. Let the chocolate harden before wrapping up or serving.
