Halloween 2016

So that Spooky time of year is back, and it's a big deal at our house! I'm a person that believes in sharing your blessings by feigning people. Now I can't do nearly what I used to, but with a lot of help I can focus on making some fun treats. I'm a big fan of Pinterest I got some grate recipes and inspiration that I have been dying to make. Keeping my health in mind I can put my culinary background to some good use, I do this by doing a TUN of prep work through the week so the day of is mostly just putting things in the oven.

now I'm going to work my way around the table starting far left.

We start wit the big black caldron with the chunks floating in a orangey liquid sure to get a party going. this is a altered version of Dozers deadly punch

*1 jug of orange juice

*1 two letter of sprite

*1/2 cup grenadine

*1/2 bottle of Tequila

*1/2 bottle of vodka

*1 bag mix frozen fruit *No ice to dilute the punch. The fruit is a fun alcoholic punch in the bottom of your glass, carful though because the longer it's in there the more deadly the fruit becomes.

Next we have Pudding "shots". Now being kosher meens jello is Out, but pudding is a great option! I did two flavors, the cream color is Baileys Irish cream the red is Chambored. To get the best swirl I put some of the red pudding on the side of the Baileys bowl when the pudding is just setting up, then pulled in the cream color first rotating in to the red then back to the cream. refrigerate till party.

For the Baileys

*2 packs instant vanilla pudding

*2 cups milk

*1 and 2/3 cup Baileys

*1/3 cup smiernoff whip-cream vodka

For the Chambord pudding

*1 pack vanilla pudding

*1 cup milk

*2/3 cup Chambord

*1/3 cup Smirnoff whip-cream vodka

*1 TS red food coloring

Shot Syringes

Behind the "shots" is a grinch onion casserole origanl recipe here I did add some wishishire souse, spicy brown mustard and black pepper to tast.

In the crockpot is Toxic Wast Mac original recipe here I mostly stuck to this one par cooking the veg and making sauce the day before. I did double this recipe. I feel if your going to provide this much alcohol then having plenty of carby dairy foods to help peoples stomachs is only fair.

In front of the crockpot is sweet potato rounds original recipe here yah so I was Exhausted by the time I got these out so I was missing some things on them, but I still think they would be batter for a lunch thing not a party. They just weren't drunk foodish. this is how they should have looked.---

Then Apple Turnovers! super easy and a crowd favorite. make extra they are great breakfast for the week. Cut each sheet in 4. Put 2 spoonfuls in the middle of pie filing in each then fold diagonal corner to corner, press edges together and bake 425 20 min.

*2 packs puff pastry

*2 cans apple filling

I when a little overboard with the things to dip in the chocolate fountain even as far as to take a torch to the marshmallows(big white tray on the end). I will say for the chocolate fountain turn it on about 10min before you need it so the chocolate doesn't cool off when you add it to the fountain. As for melting the chocolate in a safe bowl microwave for 30 seconds increments string between each. It took 3 turns of 30 seconds for my chocolate. Then poor chocolate into the fountain and enjoy! I found this sit very helpful for my first chocolate fountain

1 pack semisweet chocolate

3 TS coconut oil

The last thing is a bowl of Eyes. About three days before needed drain all the liquid off the cherries fill the jar up with Bourbon. Day of stuff each Lychee with a cherrie, plate and enjoy!

*2 cans Lychee

*1 jar maraschino cherries

*2ish cups bourbon
