While preparing for some upcoming kids Halloween Cooking Classes, I realized that you might appreciate a few recipes for Creepy Cuisine and Potent Potions that weren’t quite as sugar and fat laden as the majority of recipes you’ll find online.
Vampire Drool
Red Juice, your choice (cranberry, pomegranate, cherry etc)
Bubble Water
1 pkg frozen organic cranberries
1 latex glove
1 cauldron
- Pour water into a latex glove. Tie the end, and put it the freezer (be sure to store it flat, so that it retains the shape you want).
- When frozen, remove from the freezer and peel off the glove.
- Combine juices and bubbly water in a cauldron
- Add the frozen “hand” to complete the brew
Worms and Eyeballs
1 small onion, grated
|
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano
|
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the onion, garlic, egg, bread crumbs, ketchup, parsley, Parmesan, Pecorino, salt and pepper to a large bowl and blend. Mix in the turkey.
- Shape the turkey mixture into 1 1/4-inch-diameter meatballs.
- Place on baking sheet.
- Use an egg slicer to slice the olives into rings.
- Place one olive ring on top of each meatball, pressing lightly. This makes it look more like an eyeball!
- Bake 15-20 minutes or until the inside is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
CALL THE KIDS:

Strawberry Monsters
Strawberries
4″ sucker sticks
Candy Melts (your color choice)
Black decorating gel
- Insert lollipop stick into strawberries and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes, until they are cold.
- While the berries are chilling, heat one cup of candy melts, in a double-boiler, stirring constantly until completely melted.
- Remove the berries from the freezer and dip them lightly in the melted candy for a thin coating.
- To get a Mummy look, swirl them a bit to look like layers of white wrapped around it. Ghosts can be dunked to make a little twisted peak on top. Frankenstein can be dunked and a spoon used to flatten the candy on top.
- Set on a baking sheet lined with parchment to cool and harden. You can refrigerate them if you would like to speed this up.
- After they harden, you can add faces. Using black decorating gel and a toothpick (as your brush), draw a spooky face.
Tips
Use green melts for Frankenstein, Orange for Jack-O-Lanterns & white for ghosts and mummies
Interesting!! Thanks!
