My First Spooky Recipe....
Sticky Witches Apples
You will need:
2 packages of caramel squares (Sticky Snacks)
4 or 5 medium size apples (Monster Brains)
Wooden sticks (Ghost Pencils)
Waxed paper (Magic anti-stick paper)
Black Licorice pre cut into small strands (Black cat whiskers)
Red Licorice pre cut into small strands (Snail Antennas)
Ice Cream Cones (Witches' hats)
Candy for decorations (Witches' faces)
First melt the caramel in a pan until they are a thick liquid. Then wash the apples and stick a ghost pencil (wooden stick) into one end. Dip each apple into the melted caramel making sure the apple is thoroughly coated and lay it on a piece of waxed paper. Sprinkle the decorative candy over the apple (this is the fun part, and children love to participate in the decorating). Try to create witch and monster faces with the candy sprinkles. Now, stick the black licorice on an apple so it looks like cat whiskers. Use the red licorice up at the top of the apple to resemble "snail antennas". Place an empty ice cream cone on the top for a witches' hat and enjoy!!! :D

And now for my second spooky recipe....
Creepy Creamy Candy!
You will need:
1/2 cup of butter
1 and 1/2 cups of peanut butter
1 lb of icing sugar
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
12 ounces of white chocolate
Waxed paper
Toothpicks
Mixing bowl
Mix the butter and the peanut butter together in a large mixing bowl. Add the icing sugar and the vanilla and blend together completely. Next, take a spoonful of the mixture and roll it into a small ball (so it looks like a little eyeball) and place it on the waxed paper. Once you have made all the eyeballs, place them into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Melt the white chocolate on the stove in a pan, or in a microwave oven. Next, remove the eyeballs from the refrigerator and stick a toothpick through each one. Carefully dip each candy eyeball into the melted chocolate. Make sure each eyeball is completely covered with chocolate except for a small circle at the top. Allow the balls to cool on a piece of waxed paper.
This recipe will yield about 40 scary eyeballs. :)
dot-matrix:
These aren't exactly spooky but I've made them every Halloween for the last 4 or 5 years! I got the recipe off the internet but don't remember exactly where but it was probably the Food Network website I get a lot of recipes there.
Cajun Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Double or triple this roasted pumpkin seed recipe, depending on how many cups of seeds you have. One large pumpkin will generally yield 1 cup or pumpkin seeds, and smaller pie pumpkins will yield about the same amount. Toss a salad with these seeds, sprinkle over a chicken dish, or serve as a snack.
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 scant teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste ( I like either Tony Chachere's or Emeril's Original Essence of Emeril)
paprika, for more color, if desired
a little salt, depending on saltiness of the seasoning
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
PREPARATION:
Rinse seeds well and get as much of the pumpkin pulp off of them as possible. Some of the small pieces are going to adhere, but they won't hurt the seeds at all, and might even add a little more flavor.
Pat dry with paper towels. Don't let them dry completely on the paper towels, because they might stick!
Toss pumpkin seeds with seasonings. Combine butter and Worcestershire sauce; stir into seeds until well blended and coated.
Heat oven to 300°. Roast, turning from time to time, for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until nicely browned and crunchy.

I love roasted pumpkin seeds! And they make a very good snack. I love to munch on them while they are still warm from the oven! Thanks for the recipe Dottie!! :D
