Fun & Easy Foods to Scare Up Some Halloween Fun!
Doing more inside of your home to create a special Halloween may be just the thing for 2020.
Here are three fun and easy things to serve, whether you’re ordering pizza in or making dinner yourself.
1-Ice Hand
Ingredients:
-one latex glove, rinsed of powder inside (and who doesn’t have dozens these days?)
-cranberry juice
-punch bowl
-ladle
How to: I don’t like gore, but this ice hand provides a wow factor. The night before, rinse and fill a latex glove with water. Leave space at the cuff end to secure with a rubber band. Place glove in freezer. When you’re ready to serve, snip the banded end and peel the glove back and off.
CAUTION: Be sure to remove all of the glove, as pieces left behind can potentially present a choking hazard.
Place ice hand into a punch bowl filled with cranberry juice and serve.
2-Gnarled Witch’s Fingers
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. of pizza dough (or your own dough recipe) can freeze unused dough
shelled pistachio nuts
garlic and herb seasoning
Parmesan cheese, if desired
butter or olive oil to brush on
S&P
How to: You can use any dough recipe you have if you’d like to make these from scratch but I just get a ball of pizza dough in the refrigerator section at the grocery store and roll out gnarled fingers, roughly the same size, and then press a shelled pistachio nut (love the greenish color) firmly on to the end to look like a finger or toenail. Can brush them with butter or olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, salt and pepper, other seasonings, or Parmesan cheese, if you wish.
Follow directions for the pizza dough. Preheat oven and bake them (usually on high temp-425° for 10-13 minutes until golden brown.)
3-Tortilla Ghosts, Scarecrows, or Bones!
Ingredients:
-Flat Tortilla shells-in yellow (corn) beige (flour) or green (spinach)
-Cookie cutters in the shape of pumpkins, bones, scarecrows, etc. (or you can cut the tortillas freehand with kitchen scissors)
-Sharp knife or kitchen scissors
-Olive oil
-Salt
How to: Press the cookie cutter shape into the tortilla and cut out with kitchen scissors or cut freehand shapes if desired. Brush each very lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.In a hot cast-iron skillet, heat the shapes for just a few moments, until they have browned edges, or put them on a baking sheet and in a preheated 350° oven until they begin to brown, in just a few minutes.
Serve them on top of soup, salad, or as you would, crackers, on a plate.
Stay enchanted!
