1. Frankenstein Kiwi Pops
For this recipe, you will need:
Directions: Slice the kiwis into thirds. Cut a small slit into the bottom of each kiwi slice and slide a popsicle stick into the opening. Set the kiwi slices with sticks on a parchment-lined tray. Next, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirringin between, until melted. Transfer the melted chocolate to a plastic zip-top bag and cut off a tiny piece of the corner. Pipe bandages, stitches, nuts and bolts, and mouths onto each slice.
For the eyes, place white chocolate chips upside down and press into the kiwi, then add a dot of chocolate for pupils. Allow the chocolate to set and serve right away or refrigerate and serve cold.
2. Spider Bites
For this recipe, you will need:
Directions: Place parchment paper on baking sheet; set aside. In a large glass microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Melt on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and stir until smooth. Stir in pretzel sticks. With clean hands grab pretzel sticks and place them in clusters to make them look like spiders. Place in the freezer for 5 minutes or until chocolateis hardened. Remove and serve.
3. Bloodshot Deviled Egg Eyeballs
For this recipe, you will need:
Directions: First hard boil your eggs. Let them cool before peeling. Once peeled, slice your eggsvertically. Scoop out the yolk and place in a bowl. Mix in the rest of your ingredients, except the paprika and olives. The more mayo you use, the creamier. If you want it more thick, use only 1/4 cup amount. Mix until smooth then scoop a 1/2 tbsp. to 1 tbsp. of egg yolk mix into your egg white halves. Smooth the surface of the egg and then place the olive with the pimento sticking up, to look like the eye pupil. Sprinkle with paprika to make it look bloodshot. You can also use chili sauce or siracha if you prefer.
4. Snack-o’-Lantern Fruit Cups
For this recipe, you will need:
Directions: Slice off the top navel orange. Run a knife around its interior to hollow it out. Scoop out the orange segments and reserve for filling. Carve pumpkin face on one side of the orange. Repeat for other oranges. Use a paper towel to soak up any remaining juice inside the oranges. Dice up desired fruit, including the reserved orange segments and fill each cup. Set the lid back on top and serve.
Have a Happy and Healthy Halloween!
