Jack-O'-Lantern Onion Dip

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
1 large egg
One 13.8-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for rolling
12 cubes sharp Cheddar plus 1 cup shredded, plus more for sprinkling on top
1 to 2 jalapeños, sliced 1/4 inch thick
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium yellow onion, grated
3 blue corn tortilla chips, plus more for serving
1/4 cup black olives, sliced

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 10-inch round baking dish or skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl and set aside.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Divide and cut the dough into 12 rectangles. Brush the egg wash on top of each rectangle.
Place a Cheddar cube in the center of each rectangle. Place a couple jalapeño slices on every other rectangle (see Cook's Note).
Close the dough around the cheese cubes and jalapeños and shape the pieces into balls. Place the balls around the edge of the prepared baking dish.
Mix the shredded Cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, Parmesan, chives, salt, pepper, garlic and onion together in a medium bowl.
Spoon the mixture into the center of the baking dish. Sprinkle additional Cheddar on top. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
Arrange the blue corn tortilla chips and olive slices to resemble a Jack-o'-lantern. Serve hot with more tortilla chips.
Cook’s Note
To make sure the alternating of spicy and mild fillings in the bread balls is a welcomed treat, be sure to warn guests about the spicy trick before serving.

Pumpkin Seeds

Wash the seeds and pat them dry
Soak for about an hour in soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
(try a batch of each just to see which you like better)
Sprinkle w/ garlic powder if desired

Roast on cookie sheet @ low heat 250°-300°F.
After 1/2 hr, turn the seeds over and
continue roasting for another 1/2 - 1 hr.

Test by biting into one - they're done when they're crunchy.

Mummy Puff Pastry Pizza Pies

1 ready rolled puff pastry
2 tbs tomato puree
1/4 bell pepper
1 spring onion
mini pepperoni slices
cheddar cheese + extra slices for the eyes
Edible marker pen or food colouring

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a couple of baking trays with greaseproof/baking paper.

Using a large circle cutter, cut out circles of pastry (I got seven from one sheet of pastry) and place on your lined baking trays. Spread a thin layer of tomato puree over each circle.

Prepare your toppings – de-seed and finely chop the pepper, wash and slice the spring onion, slice the pepperoni if necessary, grate the cheddar cheese.

Pile the toppings in the centre of each circle, leaving a small strip around the edges clear.

Cut the leftover pastry into strips around 1cm thick and drape over the toppings in a random way to create mummy like patterns, pushing the edges down so that they stick to the pastry circles.

Ball up and roll out any smaller pieces of pastry to cut into more strips. Don’t worry if the strips overlap the circles – once you’ve finished adding strips to each circle you can tidy them up by cutting off the excess with the same circle cutter you used to cut out the original circles.

Repeat until you have mummified all of your pizzas pies!

Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes until cooked through and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes while you create the eyes.

To make the eyes, cut small circles from the leftover cheese slices using a mini circle cutter, then dot the ‘eyes’ with an edible marker pen or if you don’t have one, use a little food colouring with a fine paintbrush.

Pop two eyes onto each mummy pie then serve immediately, or cool completely on wire racks then store in an airtight container.

Taco Jack-O'-Lantern Stuffed Peppers

4 large orange bell peppers (look for peppers that sit flat when the stem ends are up)
1 lb. raw extra-lean ground beef (4% fat or less)
1 tbsp. taco seasoning mix
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup reduced-fat Mexican-blend cheese
Optional toppings: reduced-fat sour cream, salsa

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Carefully slice off the top (stem end) of each bell pepper; do not discard. Remove and discard seeds. Using a small, sharp knife, cut jack-o'-lantern faces into the peppers, making triangles for eyes and noses, as well as pointy-toothed smiles.

Place peppers in a deep 8" X 8" baking pan, open halves up. If peppers do not sit flat, gently lean them against the pan sides for support. Place stem ends back on top of peppers. Bake until tender, about 25 minutes. Blot away excess moisture.

Meanwhile, bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add beef and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Add onion and mushrooms. Cook, stir, and crumble until beef is fully cooked and veggies have softened, 8 - 10 minutes. Add beans, and cook and stir until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, add cheese, and stir until cheese has melted and evenly distributed. Cover to keep warm.

Remove pepper tops, and evenly distribute beef mixture into peppers. Replace tops, serve, and enjoy!

Crispy Phyllo Wrapped Hot Dog Mummies

One 16-ounce package bun-size hot dogs (8 hot dogs), each halved crosswise
2 ounces Cheddar, cut into 16 thin slices
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
8 sheets phyllo dough
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Ketchup, yellow mustard, barbecue sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, for serving and decorating

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut a slit in each hot dog piece and stuff with a slice
of cheese. Set aside. Combine the salt, garlic powder and pepper in a small bowl.

Working with one sheet of phyllo at a time and keeping the rest covered under a damp towel or paper towels, lay a phyllo sheet on a
large cutting board or counter and lightly brush with melted butter.
Lightly sprinkle with some of the spice mix and fold in half lengthwise.
Brush the top with more melted butter and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips.
Using 2 pieces of stuffed hot dogs per phyllo sheet, wrap half of the strips around each piece of hot dog to create a mummy look.
Leave a small section of hot dog exposed towards the top so it looks like the top part of the face peeking out from the phyllo wrappings.
Don't worry about frayed edges or tears-- it will add to the mummy look.

Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining phyllo, melted butter, spice mix and hot dogs.
Remelt the butter if it cools down too much while forming the mummies.

Bake until the phyllo is crisp and golden brown, about 25 minutes.
If desired, dot ketchup or mustard eyes on each mummy using a toothpick and serve with extra sauces for dipping.

Cookies

 

Witch Hat Halloween Cookies

1 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
purple gel food coloring
30 Hugs or chocolate kisses carefully unwrapped
Halloween sprinkles or purple sanding sugar

Get out and measure your ingredients.
Line a sheet tray with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Stir until combined. Set aside.

In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or in the body of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment add butter and sugar.
Cream the butter with the sugar for 2 minutes.
Add the egg.
Mix until combined.
Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract.
Mix until combined, scrape down the sides as needed.

Add the dry mixture to the wet.
Stir it in until combined.

Add violet-colored gel food coloring until you achieve the color you want. I like to give a few good stirs by hand to make sure the color is evenly distributed.
Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop (or you can eyeball it), place scoops of the dough not touching but closer together on the prepared sheet tray. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill, even best overnight if you have the time.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line sheet trays with parchment paper, set aside.

Place the sprinkles or sanding sugar into a small bowl. Roll the cookie dough into a ball then roll it in the sprinkles/sugar.
Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the sheet trays. Bake for 9-11 minutes until puffed up and start to crack.
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet tray. Place a hug in the center of the cookies, pressing down until it sticks.
Place the tray directly into the freezer for 10 minutes to prevent the chocolate from melting.

Transfer to a wire rack while you bake the rest of the cookies.

Skinny Mummy Cake Balls (WW) (photo)
5 Smart Points

16.5 oz package yellow cake mix
6 oz plain fat-free Greek yogurt (Chobani)
1 cup water
2 large egg whites
baking spray
48 oz Baker's white chocolate (20 oz calculated in n.i)*
mini chocolate chips for the eyes
1 wooden skewer

Preheat oven to 350̊F. Lightly spray a the cake pop pan with baking spray.
Combine the cake mix, yogurt, 1 cup water and egg whites in a large mixing bowl and beat until combined. Place the batter into a pastry bag or large ziplock bag with the tip cut off.
Pipe the batter into the prepared cake pop pan and bake about 18 minutes (I rotated the pan after 10 minutes to be sure they baked evenly). Let it rest 5 minutes before opening the pan.
Place the cake balls on a wire rack and repeat with remaining batter. Using a scissor, cut the seam off the balls.
Refrigerate the cake balls for about 45 minutes, this helps the chocolate stick to the cake.
Melt some of the chocolate in the microwave according to package directions, careful not to over heat the chocolate. If it's too thick add a drop of oil to thin out.
Use the wooden skewer and insert into the cake ball, then dip in melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off then place each ball on parchment or wax paper.
Place remaining chocolate into a piping bag and drizzle onto the tops of the balls to make a criss-cross effect to resemble a mummy wrap.
Place the mini chocolate chips over the chocolate for eyes and set aside to dry.
Yield: 48 servings, Serving Size: 1 cake pop. Source: Skinnytaste.com

Jell-O-Ween Poke Brownies

1 ( 19. 8 oz.) pkg. brownie mix
1 and 1/2 cups cold milk
1 ( 4 serving size ) package Jell-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding and Pie Filling
Few drops each red and yellow food coloring

Prepare brownie mix according to package for an 8 or 9 inch square baking pan. After removing from oven, immediately use round end of a wooden spoon to poke holes at 1 inch intervals down through the brownies to the pan. Pour cold milk into a large bowl.

Pumpkin Pinata Cake

2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 boxes Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ lemon cake mix
Black and green food coloring, optional
2 tubs Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
Fondant or modeling chocolate, optional

1 cup water
1 cake cone (ice cream cone)
1 cup orange juice
Betty Crocker™ red gel food color, optional
2 teaspoons orange zest
1 cup butter, melted
Betty Crocker™ orange neon gel food color
6 large eggs
Betty Crocker™ Halloween fruit-flavored snacks

Preheat oven to 350°F for metal pans, 325°F for non-stick or dark pans.

For each cake mix, beat together 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup water, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon orange zest together with the cake mix. Beat on low for 30 seconds. If you want an orange colored cake, add some orange food coloring, then continue to beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
Spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cake batter into pan and bake for 36-42 minutes until lightly golden brown or a toothpick poked into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool for 15 minutes. Hold your hand over the cake, turn the pan upside down and allow the cake to drop gently onto a cooling rack. Allow cake to cool completely, for about an hour. Wash the bundt pan and repeat, making a second bundt cake.
Meanwhile, tint two tubs of Betty Crocker™ Vanilla Frosting using Betty Crocker™ Neon Orange gel food coloring. Add a few drops of Betty Crocker™ red gel food coloring for a deeper shade of pumpkin orange.
Scoop out about 1/3 cup of the orange frosting and stir in the cocoa powder, making brown frosting. Frost the outside of the ice cream cone. Allow the frosting to dry. When the first cake is cool, make the cake level, by cutting off the puffed part of the cake.
Place this bundt cake, top side down, on a small cardboard cake round. Frost around the outside and on top of the cake.
Carefully set the cake on a cake stand or plate. Fill the center of the cake with a variety of candy like Betty Crocker™ Halloween Fruit Snack, candy corn, and gummy worms.
Once the second cake is cooled, cut off the excess, and set it on top of the bottom cake. Fill the hole with a bit more candy. Fill the frosted ice cream cone with candy, and place it into the hold in the top bundt cake.
Frost the top portion of the cake. Use a metal spatula to draw the frosting up from the bottom of the cake to the top near the stem, creating the lines in the pumpkin. If desired, decorate your pumpkin cake using fondant or modeling chocolate. Cut jack-o-lantern features and leaves out using cookie cutters or a knife. Add decorations to cake. This cake is best served within a day. Store left overs in an airtight container at room temperature. Source:Pinterest

Miscellaneous

Melting Witches Bark

Eight 1-inch strips sour candy belts (a mix of color works great)
8 pretzel sticks
4 ounces (about 2/3 cup) orange candy melting wafers
1 teaspoon refined coconut oil
8 fudge-covered chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
8 cone-shaped corn snacks, such as Bugles
Coarse black sanding sugar or regular sanding sugar
8 ounces (about 1 1/3 cups) green candy melting wafers
4 ounces (about 2/3 cup) black candy melting wafers
12 ounces (about 2 cups) brown candy melting wafers
16 candy eyeballs
Halloween sprinkles, for topping
8 mini candy pumpkins, such as Mellowcreme, for topping, optional

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment and set aside.
Working with 1 strip of candy belt at a time, use sharp kitchen shears to make thin verticals cuts in the candy, leaving a 1/4-inch strip at the top of the candy uncut.
It will look like fringe. Wrap the uncut strip of the candy around the tip of a pretzel stick; the 2 ends should overlap slightly.
Use your fingers to gently press the candy so that it clings to the pretzel, being careful not to break the pretzel.
Fan out the fringe a bit so it resembles a small broom. Repeat with the remaining sour candy and pretzels, making 8 brooms. Set aside.
Put the orange candy wafers in a small ovensafe ramekin. Bake until the wafers are glossy and begin to melt, 3 to 4 minutes.
Give the wafers a good stir; if the mixture isn’t smooth return it to the oven for 30 seconds and stir again. Repeat until smooth, then stir in the coconut oil.
Set aside to cool completely, 5 to 10 minutes.
Arrange the fudge-covered cookies on a plate or small baking sheet and place the ramekin of melted orange candy next to it.
Drop a cone-shaped corn snack into the orange candy, then use 2 wooden skewers or chopsticks to turn the snack so it’s completely coated.
Lift it out and place it on an empty part of the plate or baking sheet. Sprinkle liberally with sanding sugar.
Use your fingers to carefully pick the coated corn snack up by the tip and the bottom and place it pointed-side up onto a cookie.
Repeat with the remaining corn snacks and cookies to make 8 witch hats total. Set aside until set, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, divide the green candy wafers into 8 even mounds around the prepared baking sheet spacing them evenly apart.
reak 4 of the black candy wafers in half, then place a half on top of each mound of green wafers.
In a medium bowl, combine the brown candy wafers and remaining black wafers, then scatter the mix around all sides of the green mounds, creating a rough rectangle.
Bake until the wafers are glossy and begin to melt, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately use a small offset spatula to smooth and spread the green wafers into rough circles.
Wipe the offset spatula clean, then spread the black and brown wafers out around the green circles.
Place 1 witch hat slightly off-center on each green circle, then place 2 candy eyeballs below each hat.
Lay a broomstick to the side of the eyes. Scatter the Halloween sprinkles on top of the black and brown melting candies. Arrange the candy pumpkins on top if using.
Set aside until the bark is solid, about 1 hour. Break apart and serve.

Halloween Blueberry Mummy Muffins(photo)

Muffins:
2 cups fresh blueberries
Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup whole-wheat flour (see Cook's Note)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest and 2 teaspoons lemon juice, from 1 lemon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg plus 3 large egg yolks, beaten to blend

Frosting:
2 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar
Eyes:
24 blueberries (about 1 cup)
24 small candy eyes

For the muffins: Position a rack in center of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Crush the blueberries in a medium bowl with a potato masher or fork until completely smashed. Lightly coat the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice and salt in a large bowl.

Add the buttermilk, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract, egg and yolks to the mashed blueberries and stir until combined and creamy; gently fold into the flour mixture until just combined (it's ok if there are some lumps). Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Remove the muffins and let cool completely on the rack.

For the frosting: Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl using an electric mixer on high speed until light and creamy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the confectioners' sugar. Once all the sugar has been added, increase the speed to high and continue to beat until stiff and creamy, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch flat tip.
Starting from the top of a cooled muffin, leaving a small space for the eyes, pipe frosting from left to right forming crisscrossing ribbons that mimic the wrapping of a mummy. Pipe a small amount of frosting on the back of 2 blueberries and two candy eyes. Place the blueberries, frosting-side down, onto the unfrosted part of the muffin. Top each blueberry with eyes. Repeat with remaining frosting, muffins, blueberries and eyes.

Mummy Hand Pies

1/4 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Kosher salt
2 refrigerated pie crusts, thawed if frozen
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg
12 raisins
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, optional

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Add the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and a pinch of salt to a medium bowl and stir to combine.
Roll out 1 pie crust on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin to form a rectangle about 9 inches by 12 inches. Square off the crust with a knife, reserving the scraps for decorating. Cut the pie crust into 6 equal rectangles, each about 3 inches by 6 inches. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Roll out the other pie crust to the same thickness as the first. Cut into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide and 7 inches long. Repeat with the reserved dough scraps. Transfer the strips to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of the filling to the center of each rectangular crust. Use the back of a spoon to spread out the filling, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Lightly beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pies with the egg wash. Layer the strips of dough, varying the angle of each strip to create a "mummy" look. Seal the edges with a fork and use a paring knife to trim the overhang. Lightly brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash. Add 2 raisins to each hand pie for the eyes.
Bake, rotating the pan halfway through for even color, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool on a baking rack slightly, about 5 minutes.
Serve as is or decorate with a simple icing. Combine the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl with 1/2 teaspoon water. Stir until smooth and glossy. Transfer the icing to a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner. Pipe the icing onto the hand pies using the stripes of pie crust as a guide. Serve.

Pumpkin Seeds

Wash the seeds and pat them dry.
Soak for about an hour in soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (try a batch of each just to see which you like better) Sprinkle w/ garlic powder, if desired.
Roast on cookie sheet @ low heat 250°-300°F.
After 1/2 hr, turn the seeds over and continue roasting for another 1/2 - 1 hr.
Test by biting into one - they're done when they're crunchy.

Some variations:
Soak in butter instead of the soy or Worcestershire sauce.
Sprinkle with a few Italian spices - oregano for instance.
Experiment until you find a flavor you like!
