Homemade Spooky Halloween Treats

Doesn't that look scary ? Halloween is right around the corner. While keeping nutrition in mind, it is okay to cheat during a holiday. Yes, it is okay to do that. Be sure not to keep cheating after the holiday. With that said, we found some homemade recipes for Halloween treats that you will enjoy making for the entire family brought to you by Disney Family Fun website.


1)Forked Eyeballs (seen in the top picture)

 

These scary-good Halloween treats, prepared and eaten on the same fork, begin with a doughnut hole dunked in white chocolate.

Ingredients
2 (11-ounce) bags white chocolate chips
12 doughnut holes
Semisweet chocolate chips
Tube of red decorator frosting
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

To coat a dozen doughnut holes, melt the white chocolate chips with the oil over low heat (and keep the chocolate warm while you work). With a fork, spear each doughnut hole and submerge it in the melted chocolate to coat it, then gently tap off any excess.

Stick a semisweet chocolate chip with its point cut off onto each doughnut hole, cut end first. Place the forks (handle side down) in a mug and allow the chocolate coating to harden.

Use a tube of red decorator frosting to add squiggly veins radiating out from the pupils.


2) Bleached White Bones

Bleached white bones never tasted so delicious. This recipe originally appeared in Ghoulish Goodies, by Sharon Bowers.

 Ingredients
half package (7 ounces) white meltable candy wafers
36 pretzel sticks and thin rods of various lengths
72 mini marshmallows (about 1 cup)

 Instructions

Follow the instructions on the candy wafers package to melt the candy in a wide bowl. For each bone, press marshmallows onto both ends of a pretzel stick or rod, with the marshmallows' flat sides parallel to the pretzel.

Dip each pretzel into the melted candy to coat it. Lift it out with a fork, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Place the bone onto a sheet of waxed paper to set at room temperature.



3) Chinese Finger Food

                                                

Partying in costume calls for easy-eating fare, and these cheesy monster digits fit the bill.


Ingredients
Mozzarella string cheese
Green bell pepper
Cream cheese

Instructions


Wearing plastic gloves or sandwich bags over your hands to keep the cheese as smudge-free as possible, use a paring knife (parents only) to cut each string in half and then carve a shallow area for a fingernail just below the rounded end of each half.

Mark the joint right below the nail as well as the knuckle joint by carving out tiny horizontal wedges of cheese, as pictured.

For the fingernails, slice a green bell pepper into 3/8-inch-wide strips. Set the strips skin side down on your work surface and trim the pulp so that it's about half as thick. Then cut the strips into ragged-topped nail shapes and stick them in place at the ends of the fingers with dabs of cream cheese.

4) Goblin Grins

 

Guaranteed, kids won't stick out their tongues at these healthy treats.


Ingredients
1 pea pod
1 red bell pepper
few slivered almonds


Instructions

For each one, use the tip of a paring knife to cut a slit centered in one side of an edible pea pod (a parent's job).

Cut out a tongue shape from red bell pepper and insert the top of it through the opening in the pea pod (it looks best if the inside of the pepper faces up).

For the finishing touch, insert a few slivered almonds for teeth.


5) Sweet Skull

 

 

 

 

 

No bones about it, partygoers will get a scream out of this playful treat.


Ingredients
12 marshmallows
Confectioners' sugar
24 unfrosted cupcakes (white or yellow works best)
White frosting
Junior Mints, chocolate chips, and slivered almonds

 Instructions

Cut the marshmallows in half widthwise using kitchen shears dipped in confectioners' sugar (this keeps them from sticking).





Carefully pull each cupcake liner partially away from the cake and tuck half a marshmallow between the paper and the cupcake to create the skull's jaw.


Frost each cupcake and marshmallow, then add Junior Mints with white frosting dots for eyes, a chocolate chip nose, and slivered almond teeth.
