Halloween Recipes

Boogers on a Stick

8 ounce jar Cheez Whiz Green food coloring 25 to 30 pretzel sticks

Melt the Cheeze Whiz in the microwave or on top of the stove, according to directions on the jar. Allow the cheese to cool slightly in the jar. Using a long handled spoon, carefully stir about three drops of green food coloring into the warm cheese, using just enough to turn the cheese a delicate snot green. To form boogers: Dip and twist the tip of each pretzel stick into the cheese, lift out, wait twenty seconds, then dip again. When cheese lumps reach an appealingly boogerish size, set pretzels, booger down, onto a sheet of waxed paper. Allow finished boogers on a stick to cool at room temperature for ten minutes or until cheese is firm. Gently pull boogers off waxed paper and arrange on a serving platter. Serves 5 to 6 booger buddies. Sicko Serving Suggestion: Place a bowl of chunky red salsa in the center of the platter so that guests can turn plain boogers into bloody ones.

Add the drained pineapple and orange segments to the vegetables and mash with a fork until mixture looks well chewed. Remove the jello from the fridge and dump the vegetables in.

Cat Litter Casserole

Dumps 1 cup Bisquick 1 cup Shredded Cheddar cheese 1 lb. Ground beef, turkey or pork Sausage Litter 2 cups Long grain rice 3-3/4 cups Water 2 tsp. Salt 2 tbsp. Butter or margarine

To make dumps: Preheat oven to 350F. Mix together the dump ingredients in a large bowl. Mold pieces of mixture into various size/shape dumps. Place, untouching, in an ungreased baking pan or two. Bake about 20 minutes or until brown, firm and slightly crusty.

While the meat cooks, put all four litter ingredients into a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir, turn heat to low and cover the pan. Simmer uncovered for fourteen minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork.

When dumps are done, transfer them onto paper towels to drain. Spoon the rice and dumps back into the baking pan, leaving some dumps partially uncovered, the way Kitty does when he/she is in a hurry. Use pooper scooper to serve. Serves 8-10 litterbox lovers.

Day-old Bathwater

12 ounce can frozen lemonade 12 ounce can frozen pink lemonade 12 ounce can frozen limeade 1/2 gallon Rainbow sherbert

About 45 minutes before serving time, set cans of lemonade and limeade and the container of sherbert out to thaw. After 15 minutes, scoop out half of the sherbert and stir to form a brownish color. Prepare lemon and limeades according to the package directions and pour into the punch bowl. Carefully float spoonfuls of the brown blended sherbert on top of the lemonade mixture, spreading it around to look like dirty brown suds. Do not stir. Use a ladle to serve punch in cups. Serves about 30 dirty, nonbathing buddies.

Sicko serving suggestion: Float a handful of green, yellow and white tiny after-dinner mints (tiny bars of soap) on top of your scummy punch.

Diaper Dump Porridge

1 can (10 oz) beef broth 1 tube refrigerated biscuits 1 can (10 oz) chicken broth

Pour the beef broth into a saucepan; set aside. Remove the biscuits from the tube, seperate them and cut each one in half. Sculpt the biscuit pieces into "dump" shapes. Add the dumps to the beef broth. Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Turn the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Pour the chicken broth (diaper fluid) and one can water into the second saucepan. With a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked dumps from the beef broth to the chicken broth. Heat chicken broth according to the directions on the can.

Sicko serving suggestion: Place a container of baby wipes on the table for guests to clean up with!

Eyeballs

8 oz. Frozen whipped topping, thawed Blueberries or raisins 1-1/2 cups Boiling water 1 lg. pkg. Jello (any red flavor) 1 cup Cold water Ice cubes

Using a small ice-cream scoop, place 2 scoops whipped topping into each of 10 dessert dishes for "eyeballs." Place a blueberry or raisin in each scoop for the "pupil." Freeze 30 minutes, or until firm.

Meanwhile, stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least two minutes until completely dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes to make 2-1/2 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until slightly thickened. Remove any remaining ice. Pour about 1/2 cup gelatin around the two "eyeballs" in each dish, leaving the top of the "eyeballs" exposed. Refrigerate 1-1/2 hours, or until firm.

Ghoul-Ade over Gopher Guts

3 oz. box Cherry Jello 10 Lemons (or 2 cups bottled lemon juice) 7 cups Water 1 cup Sugar Green food coloring

Prepare Jello according to package directions. Chill in the freezer for 45 minutes, or until partially set.

While the Jello chills, squeeze the juice from the lemons into a pitcher, being careful not to include any seeds. Add the 7 cups of water to the lemon juice. Stir. Add the sugar and stir again. Add green food coloring until Ghoul-ade is the desired shade.

Pour Ghoul-ade into individual glasses, then spoon partially set Jello gopher guts into glasses. Include long spoons when serving this drink to help your guests eat their guts out!

Gory Gorilla Tonsils

20 Brussel sprouts 1/4 tsp. Salt 4 oz. American cheese, grated 2 tbsp. Milk 10 Iceberg lettuce leaves 1/4 tsp. Paprika

Wash the Brussels sprouts and remove any discolored leaves. Trim off the stem ends and cut an X into the bottom of each sprout to make sure your tonsils cook nice and tender. Place the sprouts in a pot containing about 2 inches of water and sprinkle with the salt. Cover the pot and cook over medium heat until boiling. After 8 to 10 minutes, carefully stab a few sprouts with a fork to see if they're tender. When you can easily pierce them through to their centers, remove the pot from the heat and carefully drain the sprouts in a colander. Place the grated cheese in a small saucepan and add the milk. Simmer over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until the cheese melts. Remove the saucepan from the heat as soon as the cheese melts. Arrange a bed of washed lettuce leaves on a platter. Place the gorilla tonsils, in pairs, of course, on the leaves. Drizzle the melted cheese (pus) over the tonsils. Sprinkle with paprika (blood specks) and serve.

Kitty Litter Cake

1 (18 oz.) box spice or german chocolate cake mix 1 (18 oz.) box white cake mix 1 pkg. white sandwich cookies 1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix 12 small tootsie rolls 1 litter box (preferably a NEW one!) 1 plastic scoop green food coloring

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Put mixture into clean litter box.

Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, three at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve with a new pooper scooper. Serves 24.
