Spider Muffins

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:29:36 -0400

From my files: "These muffins have a decadent chocolate flavor and dark color that is perfect for Halloween. The white spiderweb decorations are easy to make with melted white chocolate. For non-Halloween occasions, just drizzle the white chocolate frosting over the tops of the muffins, or omit it entirely. Use the highest quality chocolate you can get for superb tasting muffins, but if this is just for little ones who don't really care, feel free to use any brand chocolate. The muffin will still be dense and chocolatey. " -- posted by Chef MB

Traditional Parkin

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 11:09:53 -0400

My mum always makes this around my birthday (5th Nov). This is best made a day or two in advance to allow the flavours to develop and the parkin to become moist and sticky. It will keep for up to a week in an airtight container. Double the batch and make 2 cakes. Eat 1 and freeze the other for later - simply remove from the tin and wrap well in foil. Will freeze for up to 3 months. -- posted by English_Rose

Twit Twooo, Hooting Halloween Owls - Halloween Cupcakes/Muffins

Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:29:06 -0400

These are GREAT fun! Bake some chocolate fairy cakes, muffins or cupcakes, decorate them and then turn them into Hooting Halloween Owls! I made these last year for a children's Halloween party, and they all loved them. The recipe is based on our British fairy cake or angel cake recipe, where the top of the baked cake or muffin is cut off to create the "wings". I have stated some sweets (candy) that are British - please use your own local sweets to decorate the owls. This is a wonderful recipe idea that I have changed and adapted from Tana Ramsay, the wife of the famous Gordon Ramsay.....she has some great family recipes, of which this is one. (Preparation time includes the time to decorate and ice them after they have been baked.) My Recipe #328085 would also be great Halloween companions for these hooting owls! -- posted by French Tart

Spooky Spider Cupcakes/Muffins for a Howling Halloween!

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 15:28:38 -0400

I JUST love these little spider cakes, when I make them, their faces make me laugh - well, I am easily pleased! Furthermore, they are VERY tasty - they have a much better flavour than NORMAL spiders I find, their legs are a little too chewy! The cake mixture is a double chocolate cake mixture - with cocoa and chocolate pieces, topped off with a chocolate butter cream. The decorations are made using Liquorice Allsorts and liquorice strings/laces or Catherine wheels as we call them in Great Britain. They are easy to make and can be frozen before you decorate them. I made these for TOTM Cooking School September 2008 - I hope you find the step-by-step photos handy when you come to bake and decorate them. An idea we had for an adult Halloween party - turn the spiders upside down so they have their legs in the air, and scatter wine corks amongst them on a plate........only joking! :-) If you fancy some wise companions for these spooky spiders, try these: Recipe #326716. -- posted by French Tart

Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:39:53 -0400

This makes a lot of cookies. I got this recipe online and adjusted it for taste. There are many pumpkin cookie recipes here, but I think this one is different. It is all stuff you usually have in your pantry. This is great with chocolate chips and nuts in place of the raisins too. At the listed baking time you end up with a texture like a muffin top, but you can add time for a chewier cookie. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Yorkshire Parkin - Sticky Oatmeal Gingerbread for Bonfire Night

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:39:04 -0400

A wonderful tradition from Northern England, in particular from the county of Yorkshire; this wonderful gingerbread is traditionally eaten on the 5th November which is Bonfire Night, also called Guy Fawkes night or Fireworks Night. There are many ways to make ginger parkin; this is my recipe for this deliciously, sticky and dark gingerbread with oats. This recipe is an egg free parkin, and I was always told that Parkin should NEVER contain eggs in it, whether that is true or not, I'm not sure! Try to plan ahead when you make this recipe, it is MUCH better when kept for 2 to 3 days before eating, as it become stickier and more intense in flavour. This keeps for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container and freezes well, if there is any left! I use jumbo porridge oats in my parkin, for a nice chewy texture - but any porridge oats or oatmeal will be suitable. Please note, if you make this with the suggested alternatives of corn syrup and molasses, it will not be quite the same flavour, but it should still be sticky! -- posted by French Tart

Blood and Mud Pud

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:54:31 -0400

A twist on the classic fondue for Halloween. This version is for kids but it also works well for more sophisticated tastes with the addition of vodka or kirsch to the raspberry sauce and brandy or rum to the chocolate sauce. The real beauty of this recipe is that it doesn't take a lot of cooking and because you can vary the dipping ingredients you can be sure to cater for most tastes! for example you can use grapes, walnuts, pecans, marshmallows, mango chunks, pineapple chunks etc. etc. Oh! Warning: this can get very messy so have plenty of napkins, bibs and paper towels to hand! -- posted by RamblingRozie

The Perfect Low-Sugar Kool-Aid Salt Water Taffy

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 23:49:42 -0500

I've worked at it and worked at it and 5 batches later, I think I've got it. It's the perfect salt water taffy flavored with kool-aid. It takes alot of work to get it to the right consistency so don't give up! And if it seems to hard when it cools down, as long as it's still pliable, it will work. If it cracks into pieces, you cooked it too long. Even 5 degrees can ruin the batch so keep an eye on it. Try again, or tell people you were going for painted glass candy all along. Also, most taffy recipes will tell you that you don't need to keep stirring after the mixture starts boiling. I ruined 3 batches before I found out it's safer just to keep stirring. Even a little bit of burnt taffy in the mix ruins the batch, and if you don't stir, it will burn to the bottom of the pan. **SIDE NOTE** I sited strawberry kool-aid in my recipe, but you can use any kind as long as it's unsweetened. -- posted by InBlackAndLace

Pumpkin Walnut Cookies With Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:48:36 -0500

I picked up the latest issue of Taste of Home, Best-Loved Cookies and Bars. Because of the season, I wanted to make pumpkin cookies. When I couldn't decide between 2 recipes, I smooshed them together and made it my own, especially the frosting. A touch of maple syrup adds a hint of the holidays and the cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture to the frosting and keeps it not too sweet. These are easy to make and sooo delicious. Don't be afraid of the thick mixture, especially after adding the walnuts. This produces a soft, moist, chewy, cake-like cookie. If you're not a stickler for smooth edges or are in a rush, refrigeration isn't necessary. It just stays more formed and doesn't create little points after being scooped (especially from a cookie scooper). These cookies don't spread out much, so you can place them closer together on the cookie sheet to bake more at a time. Cooking time is bake time + making the frosting. -- posted by caffeine junkie

These are fun cookies for Halloween or a vampire genre party.The cookies have a light vanilla and butter flavor to them, and are the perfect color to really set off the red of the filling. The have a slightly crisp edge and a soft, chewy center. When you take a bite and expose the jam, they really do look like theyre bleeding! They are baked at a slightly cooler temperature than some cookies, so they dont really brown during baking. Best if served the same day.

Pumpkin Fluff Dip

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:15:34 -0400

This is a Midwestern classic apparently-- a school chum from Iowa told me about this recipe that's popular around fall and early winter, from having leftover cans of pumpkin from stocking up on sale but not wanting to make any more pumpkin pies-- they're popular for high teas, luncheon spreads, Superbowl parties, Thanksgiving and Christmas, or sitting on your can watching The Golden Girls. :D Since I didn't want to use actual marshmallow Fluff...this is my fluffy adaptation of this recipe that came out HEAVENLY. I could eat a drum of this stuff and not get bored of it! One 15 or 16 oz can of pumpkin works, or you can measure out 2 cups from a 28-oz can. You can also use 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for the spicing but it tends to be overpowering, the subtler cinnamon and nutmeg is better. -- posted by the80srule

Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:45:24 -0400

Even though the phrase "leftover pumpkin" doesn't exist in my household, most people often wonder what to do with the leftover pumpkin after making a pumpkin pie. I like to make this tasty, simple, and quick dessert when I have a huge can of pumpkin I haven't completely gone through. Whole milk and cinnamon rice milk really work best for this recipe, but some tasty variations that really add to this pudding's richness are vanilla rice or soy milk, and Silk Pumpkin Pie flavored soy milk (which is only seasonal, I wish it was available year-round! And is it just me or does Silk Pumpkin Pie Soymilk taste just like Silk Nog that's available around Christmas, only they package it differently? So if you're making it around Christmas, use Silk Nog!) This awesome dessert is great for parties and potlucks, it travels and freezes well, and was a big hit at my sister's Halloween party! Both the kids and adults loved it. (Note: Prep time does not include cooling time.) -- posted by the80srule

Pumpkin Cupcakes Cake

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 01:50:03 -0400

I needed something cute for our fall festival cakewalk at church this weekend and I found this recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens publication "Halloween tricks & treats". It was really easy; the hardest part was picking the orange and black M&M's out of the M&M's GHOUL'S Milk Chocolate Mix. If you live in a bigger city or can order online, you can probably order just orange and black ones to make this easier yet! -- posted by DeniseBC

My Very Favorite Apple Crumb Pie

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:09:00 -0400

This is my all-time favorite recipe for apple pie. The crumb topping is so delicious and the apple filling flavor is just right. You will need a deep dish pie pan for this. The crumb topping will seem like a lot when you're putting it on but it turns out wonderful when baked. I bake my pie on a cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil. You can use your favorite pie crust for this or try "Recipe#51537", one of my favorites for one-crust pies. -- posted by Lainey6605

Peanut Butter Candy Corn Cookies

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:53:09 -0400

As a kid, I used to love peanut butter and candy corn sandwiches and recently I thought the combination would make a great cookie! Mmmmmmmm..... This recipe is based on Recipe #51104. -- posted by mliss29

Cobweb Fudge

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:14:33 -0400

The walnuts can be omitted if preferred. Note this is formed in a ROUND pan. It makes one big web and is served by cutting into small wedges, rather than the usual squares. Use superfine sugar (not to be confused with confectioners' sugar), rather than granulated into order to avoid a grainy texture. If the melted chocolate begins to harden in the bag, microwave it in short bursts for a few seconds at a time. -- posted by Cecily Parsley

Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting (Cake Mix Recipe)

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:40:06 -0400

This uses a box cake mix for the base of this recipe. Since box cake mixes require different things, the ingredient list here does not include whatever ingredients that the cake mix itself might call for (i.e. eggs, etc.). Time listed does not include cooling time. -- posted by iewe

Pumpkin Bread Pudding W/ Caramel Sauce

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:54:11 -0400

This came from the Nov 2000 issue of Bon Appetit. It's super easy to make and absolutely delicious, everyone always asks for the recipe. It does not have an overwhelming pumpkin flavor. It's very moist and sweet. Don't sprinkle on the powdered sugar until the last minute, right before you serve, or it will melt into the bread. -- posted by Chef #296829

Witch's Finger Cookies

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:02:02 -0400

from Kraft Food and Family 2009. My kids love to make and eat these. These are not a super sweet cookie... more of an almond shortbread. Tasty and creepy! They take about 25 minutes to bake at 325 in my oven. -- posted by HollyGolightly

Red and Black Candy Apples

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:19:06 -0400

This is a fabulous Halloween creation that I fell in love with and had to keep safe (as in not losing the recipe!). It's from mattbites.com (http://mattbites.com/2009/10/13/adams-scary-apples/) and I unashamedly stole it word for word. You'll find some amazing photo's of these apples there too. All credit goes to Matt and Adam, and they deserve it in truckloads! "*A Note About The Black Apples:* Lighter colored apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious) work well in making the red appear bright and glassy; darker apples like red delicious help the black candy appear as dark as possible. Muy spooky! Also, Adam made one batch with red food coloring and after he had a few red apples he reheated the candy mixture and added black food coloring. Adding black to red will make it darker. He repeated the dipping process. Black food coloring can be found online or at specialty baking stores." Do Not take the times I gave as gospel they are a complete guess. IMPORTANT: You will also need "8-10 wooden twigs, twimmed" -- posted by Annacia

Rice Krispy Jack O Lantern

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:13:20 -0400

This requires a bundt cake pan. It is fun and easy to make and the end result is so cute. Its great for parties because it uses four batches of the rice krispy treats recipe. Make the face with black colored icing or fondant. Orange , green and black food color will be required, I recommend using the food color paste that is used for cake decorating, buy it at the craft store. -- posted by aimbrulee

Microwaved Caramel Apples

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:51:15 -0400

I found this to be the quickest and easiest caramel apple recipe I have tried. I started out using 5 bags of caramels, and then added more as I needed. It really does make the operation much easier using lots of caramel, especially when you can cool and store the rest of the caramel to use in other things, or cut up with scissors and eat as a candy. -- posted by Sue L
