DIY Halloween Treats
Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Halloween happens to be my absolute favoriteholiday!
So today, we are going to be making some spookyHalloween Treats.
Let’s get started!
The first treat we are going to be makingare these simple
Chocolate Pumpkin Pretzels. The things youwill need, will be:
Orange melting chocolates, one bag of minipretzels, a bunch of
green M&M’s and a little squeezy bottle.
The first thing you’re gonna do is heatup your melting chocolates in a bowl.
I just put them in the microwave, and thenpour half of your melting
chocolates into a squeezy bottle.
Then, take a pretzel and completely submergeit into the bowl of melted chocolate.
Using a fork, let the excess chocolate dripoff and place it
onto a piece of wax paper. To make them lookmore like a pumpkin,
take your squeezy bottle and fill in the threeholes with orange chocolate.
And then, finally take your green M&M’sand place them on the
top to look like a little stem! Make as manyof these as you want!
Om nom nom nom nom! And put them on a plateto serve.
Our second treat that we’re gonna make arethese Candy Corn Sugar Cookies.
The things you will need, to make these yummycookies, will be:
Sugar cookie mix, or your favorite sugar cookierecipe, flour,
1/3 cup of butter, 1 egg, yellow food coloringand orange food coloring.
In a medium bowl, combine your cookie mix,butter, and egg.
Then, mix together until your dough is thickand smooth.
Doo-doo-doo-doo. Now divide your cookie doughevenly into
three separate bowls. Using your yellow andorange food coloring,
dye two of your batches of dough. Once you’veworked the dye into
the dough, place it flat on top of a piece ofcling wrap, and then wrap
it tight. Do this to all of the colors, andput them in the freezer
for about 10 minutes to chill.
While it’s chilling, we’re going to makea little bit of egg wash.
You’re gonna need one egg, crack it openput egg whites in one,
put the yolk off to the side, and mix a littlewater into your egg whites.
And we’re gonna use this little rubber bastingbrush to apply.
Once your dough has chilled, brush the eggwash on top of the regular
white dough, then place the orange dough ontop. Use your egg wash again,
and then place on the yellow dough. You dothis so the dough will stick
together when they bake. Wrap your dough upagain and place in the freezer
for one hour to chill. After freezing, cutyour dough into thin slices,
starting at the end.
Using a triangle cookie cutter, or a knife,cut out the cookies
and place them onto your baking sheet.
Bake these cookies for about 7 minutes at350 Degrees and then place
them onto your favorite serving tray.
Ermahgerd! They look just like littlecandy corns!
Next, we are going to be making a Halloweenthemed drink.
One of my absolute favorite tropical drinksare pina coladas, so we are
going to be making those with a spooky twist.
Get ready for Pina GHOULavas! This recipecan be made with or without
spirit, it tastes good either way! The thingsyou will need will be:
Coconut rum, if you’d like, 20 ounces ofpineapple juice, raspberry puree,
15 ounces of cream of coconut, which is onecan, 3/4 cup of water,
2 cups of sugar, 1/2 a cup of light corn syrup,1/2 a teaspoon of red
food coloring, 1/2 a cup of heavy cream, 1/2a cup of orange juice and
a bowl of ice.
Before we make our drink, we are going todecorate the rim of our glass
by making candy blood! In a medium sized saucepan,add your water, sugar,
corn syrup, it’s pretty sticky, you canuse a spatula, and red food coloring dye.
Heat on top of the stove until a candy thermometerreaches 310 degrees.
Then you’re going to remove the sauce panand wait for the bubbles to stop popping.
And then you’re going to slowly dip therim of your hurricane glass, spinning
it around, into the candy, and letting theexcess drip onto the glass.
While the creepy candy is setting, we aregonna make the drinks.
First, pour your heavy cream into the mixer,then add your orange juice, pineapple
juice, and creamed coconut. This is also whereyou can add a little spirit if
you’d like, 10 ounces. Now turn on the blenderand mix it up!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbsh
Pour all of your belnded drink mixture intoa large pitcher, and now
we’re going to make the drinks individually.Add one cup of your mixture back
into the blender with two and a half cupsof ice and mix it up!
Using your raspberry puree, pour in a smallamount, onto the sides and
bottom of the glass, then pour in your blendeddrink to finally our Pina GHOULavas.
wah wah wah wah!!!!!
For our last treat, we are going to be makinga Halloween themed chip dip,
Frankamole!
The things that you will need for this recipeare: 3 avocados, 1 bag of blue chips,
sour cream, a red onion, some fresh limes,4 garlic cloves and some black olives.
To make our guacamole I’m using a food processor today, but if you don’t have one, you
can just mash the ingredients together ina bowl, I’ve made guacamole
both ways and they both taste delicious!
First, add your garlic and then 2 tablespoonsof freshly squeezed lime juice.
And then a 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, andthen mix them together.
Once mixed, slice your avocados and add themin and mix together until your
desired texture. Do you want smooth or chunkyguacamole? It’s up to you!
Put the guacamole onto a big serving plateand shape into a big rectangle.
Now for the fun part, we are going to createFrankenstein’s face.
I put some sour cream in a plastic bag, andI’m piping 2 circles for his eyes.
Then, I’m going to cut our olives into differentsizes to complete little
details on his face! Lastly, I’m placinga bunch of chips at the top of his head
in layers to look like hair.
Ta-da!
