Bleeding Heart Jello
The
Preparation:
The heart is made from red jello with a some evaporated
milk added to
make it opaque. The blood is honey or kyro
syrup with red food coloring added. Place the 'blood' in
a small ziplock
plastic bag and submerged in the jello. I guess
you could use any mold for the jello but a heart shape
really looks
special.
The Presentation:
A heart shaped mold sits innocently on a platter. When
pierced with a
sharp knife it oozes blood red sauce. The effect is
disgusting , but not bad tasting. When you've gathered
everyone around
for the cutting, be sure to use a fairly sharp knife
so it pierces the bag. Also, the best effect is when the
center of the
heart is pierced, then the knife is twisted. This oozes
blood out of the "wound" and looks gross!! If
you have a "hearty" crowd
that wants to dig in, just remember to remove
the bag! (I've heard of a Halloween gag, but this is
ridiculous!)
Blood
Red ice
For deep red ice, try cherry Kool-Aid. Can even be frozen
inside a
plastic glove, now this really adds some snap to a
punchbowl!
Bug Bites
Color
creamcheese green, put pickle slice on cracker, add lump
of cream
cheese and stick in two almond slices to look
like wings. Can add small olive pieces to look like eyes.
Chocolate Armpit Hairs

3 tbsp.
honey
1 tbsp.
light brown sugar
1 6 oz bag
milk chocolate chips
2 tbsp.
butter
1: Break
up the shredded wheat bundles into single long strands,
so
they have the appearance of
armpit hairs. Set aside.
2: Place the honey, brown sugar,
chocolate chips, and butter in a
saucepan and heat over a low
flame to melt. Stir constantly.
Mixture should be smooth and glossy.
3: Remove from heat and gently stir in
the shredded wheat.
4: When the shredded wheat is
completely coated, scoop it onto waxed
paper in small equal portions. Use a fork to gently rake
hairs into one direction.
5: Place in refrigerator for about
thirty minutes.
Presentation

that is). A sprinkle a day
helps keep odor away!
Chuckie's
Upchuck

tsp.
butter or margarine

onions -- chopped

cream of mushroom soup -- 10-oz.

milk
leftover veggies from the fridge

Creepy
Deviled Eggs
Start with deviled eggs make nasty faces on the yolk part
with sliced
green olives for eyes and green or red pepper for
mouth and eyebrows.
Cupcake
Rats
Take a toy rubber or plastic mouse/rat and mold pieces of
aluminum foil
by pressing the foil over the top of the rat,
forming a foil cup that has the shape of the rat on the
inside, leave
the bottom open and pull the toy rat out. Make a
bunch of these aluminum rat cups. Use some additional
foil to form legs
so the molds sit open side up on a cookie sheet.
Spray the inside of the foil rat molds with non-stick
cooking spray and
fill with chocolate cake batter following the
instructions on the box. Leaving the molds on the cookie
sheet for
support, bake the rat cakes in the oven, again follow
box instructions, you may find it helps to over bake them
a bit. When
finished baking, let cool and pull off the foil mold
and trim the bottom of the cupcake rat with a knife so it
sits flat. Use
red cake icing in the little squeeze tubes to inject
(from the bottom) the insides with a little gooey "blood",
use licorice
whips for a tail and red cake decorating beads for
eyes. You usually will only get one rat per mold so make
plenty of the
foil molds, they're easy to do. You can make these
into bats by adding wings made from Fruit Roll-Ups and
leaving off the
tail.
Dead Man's Meatloaf
Use your favorite recipe, but instead of shaping it into
a log shape it
into a corpse. Legs together, arms folded across
chest. Bake as usual, but before serving, stab the poor

out just about anyone!
