It's not Halloween without these...

So tonight for YW we decorated cookies--not your typical cookies--Halloween cookies. Well they really probably aren't even considered cookies....maybe treats would be a better word for it. We had lots of fun things. Too bad there were only 3 girls there to enjoy it :(
(pretty frustrating when you plan some really fun things and no one shows up... but that's a different story... )



So Halloween treats. These are some of our family's favorites. Only I didn't take photos of them all. Bummer.



Witches Hat's- made with fudge stripe cookies, hershey's kisses, and frosting. Place the cookie, striped side down on waxed paper. unwrap kiss. put a dollop of frosting on the bottom of the kiss and stick it on the cookie. pipe a line of frosting around the kiss and make a bow if you want. Orange frosting looks great, but green or purple work too.



Ghosts - made with nutter butter cookies, almond bark, and mini m&m's. dunk the nutter butter's in the melted almond bark and place mini m&m's for eyes.



Mummy's - make ghosts --then when firm, wrap fruit roll ups (sliced into strips) around like a mummy.



Spiders - made out of chocolate rice krispies, chocolate bark, and chow mein noodles. Make your rice krispies & form into balls. Dip chow mein noodles in melted chocolate. Place into sides of balls for legs (spiders normally have 6 legs) then put either frosting dots or m&m's for eyes.



And the best for last.....



BLOODY FINGERS!!

(A must for Halloween!!)

1 cup peanut butter
1 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
1 cup melted butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1 pkg. stick pretzels
½ cup seedless raspberry jam
1 pkg. sliced almonds

Combine peanut butter, graham crumbs, butter and powdered sugar. Form a small amount over the stick pretzel in the shape of a finger. Dip one end in raspberry jam. Place sliced almond at the other end making a fingernail. Serve on platter with all the bloody fingers together. (you can even draw lines on fingers for knuckles with a toothpick) EERILY DELICIOUS!!









I make these every year for home & work and it's so fun. People are seriously freaked out..and then--they taste so good!! When you bite into it--you get a crunch like a bone (the pretzel)
he he he.
