Time for a Bite

One of the fun things about Halloween (to me, anyway!) is the spooky food.  During the rest of the year, folks strive to make food pretty. Not so with Halloween. At Halloween, it's the yuckier (and scarier), the better.

A few of my favorites?

1. Mummy dogs–this one is so easy.  It's like a big version of pigs-in-a-blanket.  You wrap hot dogs (franks) in cresent rolls (this is my method, but others have different tips).  Wrap the rolls around the dogs as if you were wrapping up a mummy. Put the wrapped treats in the oven and bake as per the directions on the roll package. Then, bam–your own mummy dogs.

2. Dirt cake is another favorite at my house.  Get a great chocolate cake mix. Bake. When it's all done, use a thick, chocolate icing and cover that baby with gummy worms. Your result? Super tasty dirt cake.

3. Rebecca Zanetti told me about these very interesting brain cupcakes. They're so cute–I'd almost hate to eat them. (Hmmm…maybe cute isn't the right word!)

4. Want to make some yummy, edible eyeballs? Check out this video:

Have I mentioned how much I love Halloween?  :-)  If you've got a favorite recipe, please share!  I'll pick one random commenter to win a Cynthia Eden book of her/his choice!
