Planning a Halloween boo-ffet? There is nothing more fun to have on hand than traditional Halloween recipes[phpbay] It’s great to watch partygoers devour homemade halloween treats such as brains, eyeballs, and toes[phpbay] It not only makes the party exciting, but it makes it memorable as well[phpbay]
Here’s one of my favorite Halloween recipes – Yummy Brains[phpbay]
Yummy Brains
What you'll need:
2 3 oz[phpbay] packages Berry Blue flavored gelatin 2 cups boiling water 1 16 oz[phpbay] package frozen mixed berries 1 cup crushed pineapple, with juice 1 teaspoon black gel food coloring 2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks 2 brain molds (try WalMart)
Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, stirring until no sugar crystals appear[phpbay]
Place the berries in a food processor and pulse until the berries are very fine[phpbay] Stir in the pineapple and mix with the gelatin[phpbay] Stir in the black food coloring and place in the refrigerator (or the freezer if you're in a hurry) until syrupy and beginning to set[phpbay] Fold in the whipped cream[phpbay] Spray the inside of the mold or bowl with non-stick spray and pour the gelatin mixture into the molds[phpbay] Refrigerate 3-4 hours until set[phpbay]
To unmold, place the molds in a bowl of hot water; let sit a minute or two, then place a plate on top of the mold and invert[phpbay] The brains will fall onto the plate and will be ready to serve[phpbay] MMMM!
Deviled Eggs
Since brains are no fun alone, how about trying out some deviled eyeballs? Basically, these are deviled eggs with a green or black olive in the middle[phpbay] In the event you do not know how to make deviled eggs, here’s what you'll need:
12 eggs, hard-cooked, cooled and peeled 24 green or black olives stuffed with pimientos Miracle Whip or mayonnaise Mustard Red food coloring Tabasco (optional)
Slice eggs in half lengthwise[phpbay] Remove yolks and place in medium bowl[phpbay] Use a pastry cutter to mash yolks well[phpbay] Add Mustard and Miracle Whip in a 2-1 ratio to create a paste[phpbay] Add drops of Tabasco to your heat comfort level, then a few more[phpbay] Fill egg white halves with yolk mixture, rounding and smoothing the top of each[phpbay]
Push a whole pimiento-stuffed green or black olive into the center of each yolk well, stuffed side up[phpbay] Use a toothpick dipped into red food coloring to draw tiny wiggly red lines on whites, to simulate capillaries[phpbay] You now have some eyeballs ready to eat!
Monster Toes
Another of my favorite traditional Halloween recipes is Monster Toes[phpbay] This Halloween recipe should cover your table from head to toe[phpbay]
You’ll first need cocktail wieners[phpbay] Cut a wedge into the end of each wiener to make a place for the toenail[phpbay] Cut flour tortillas into 4 inch long by ¾ inch wide strips[phpbay] Roll each wiener into a tortilla strip[phpbay] Secure with a toothpick and place on a cookie sheet[phpbay] Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 7 minutes[phpbay] After removing from oven, fill the toenail with ketchup and serve[phpbay] Ewww, but yummy – all at the same time!
Halloween recipes are fun to make and even more fun to eat[phpbay] There are a lot of creative ways to make traditional Halloween recipes – just use your imagination and then enjoy watching your guests eat their scary treats!
