Okay my dear readers, or un readers. I am finally back from the Dead....and I am ready to share some great recipes for the coming fall season.
In preparation for Halloween I have a couple of easy great treats that can make any Halloween party.
Graveyard Mud Pudding:
Okay so this is actually super easy.
you will need:
1 cake mix, I use German chocolate but you can use anything you like.
1 box chocolate pudding
approx 20 sandwich cookies: I prefer Oreo
bake your cake in a large baking pan. i use an 11 x 14
Prepare and chill the pudding
Crush about 4 cookies
separate several cookies and save the filling in a dish
With a spoon scoop out several rectangle areas of the cake make these shallow. Put the scooped out area in a bowl. (PSST make them look like little graves)
Take 1/2 of the pudding mix in a small amount of displaced cake. Fill in the Graves so they look like little hills.
Place the plain cookies at the head of each grave like a tombstone. Use the cookie filling and mold some bones and any other ghostly creation you would like.
Take the rest of the pudding mix in the crushed cookies. Spread around the graves to fill in the rest of the cake. Place the bones around the setting. For added flair you can take rigid pieces of black licorice and make haunted trees.
Be sure to keep chilled until you are ready to serve.
Jack o lantern treats
You will need several medium sized navel oranges
Chocolate Ice Cream
Stick style cookies (I use Pocky)
cut the top off the oranges and leave intact.
scoop out the center of the oranges. ( you can discard or save for smoothie)
Cut Jack o lantern face into the orange.
Fill with Ice cream.
replace the top.
Stick the Cookie through the lid to make a stem.
Freeze.
