Happy Halloween from my Las Vegas kitchen! My name is Kathey Raskin, and Halloween is one of my favorite times of year to have children around. I love seeing their costumes when they come to my door for treats, but more than that I love serving Halloween-inspired treats to my grandchildren.
When it comes to making food spooky, you are limited only by your imagination. Here are a list of some of my favorite fast and simple Halloween hits:
- Mummy Crescent Rolls – Cut refrigerated crescent rolls into strips and criss-cross them around a hot dog, then bake according to the directions on the package. You can add faces to these with olives, condiments, and more.
- White Chocolate Ghosts – Anything becomes a ghost when you dip it in white chocolate and put candy eyes on it! You can find white chocolate candy melts and candy eyes at your local craft shop.
- Mini Donut Monsters – Try using pretzels, candies, and other edible decorations to turn chocolate and crumb mini-donuts into monsters. So scary and good!
- Creepy Pizza – Use favorite toppings like pepperoni and sausage to make eerie faces on your pizza. This is the one my grandkids like best!
- Black Cat Cake – Frost a round cake with black frosting and use candies and frosting for the face. You can create whiskers with pretzels, and these taste best with salted caramel cake!
