Blood Curdling Potato Skins
Ingredients:
8 baking potatoes
1 package (16 ounces) shredded (grated) mozzarella or mild cheddar
4 tablespoons mild salsa or taco sauce
Ketchup to decorate
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C, Gas Mark 6), and wash and prick the baking potatoes. Place the potatoes directly on the rack of the oven for approximately 1 hour, until done.
Remove the potatoes and cool completely. Slice each potato in half and then, with a spoon, scoop out most of the soft potato from the inside and place in a bowl. Leave a little potato on the skin as this will help keep the shape of the remaining skin and make it easier to fill.
Place the skins on a foil lined cookie sheet.
Add the shredded cheese and salsa or taco sauce to the potato in the bowl. Mash together well with a fork, then carefully spoon the potato mixture back into the skins. Add more ketchup to the top of potato to look like dripping blood. Place the potatoes back in the oven for 10 minutes to melt the cheese a little and crisp up the skins

Mummy Dogs
6 hot dogs
1 package ready to bake pastry
Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Wrap each hot dog in a pastry sheet and lightly brush with melted butter. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top.
Place "mummy dogs" on a lightly greased baking tray and bake at 350F (180C, Gas Mark 4) for approximately 15 minutes or until golden and baked through.
Top with "blood" (ketchup) and serve

Halloween Burgers
6 hamburgers or veggie burgers
6 slices cheese
Pitted olives
Red and green bell peppers
6 lettuce leaves
6 hamburger buns (split)
Directions:
Using a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter cut the cheese slices into pumpkin shapes. Cut olives into shapes for eyes and nose.
Slice bell peppers into shapes for mouth (red pepper) and pumpkin top (green pepper).
Cook the burgers, and during the last few minutes of cooking top with cheese slices.
Carefully remove and place into lettuce-lined buns. Garnish a pumpkin face using olives and peppers. Serve open top


Goulish Gunk
2 ripe, dark-skinned soft avocados
5 ounces of shredded (grated) cheddar cheese
10 sprigs fresh cilantro (coriander)
4 tablespoons chunky salsa
Salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
Chips/crisps or fresh chopped vegetables to serve
Instructions:
Wash and chop the cilantro. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and set aside. Scoop out the centre of the avocados and place in a bowl. Mash, leaving a few lumps to make it look suitably gruesome, then stir in the salsa, grated cheese and cilantro.
Push the pits back into the dip to keep it from turning brown, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator and discard pits, then season well.
Serve with chips/crisps or fresh vegetables


Creepy Chips/Crisp
1 package of large flour tortillas
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt (optional)
Halloween shaped cookie cutters
Instructions:

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C, Gas Mark 4)
Place each tortilla on a flat surface, and, using the cookie cutters, cut out as many Halloween shapes as possible. Brush olive oil onto both sides of the shapes and arrange on cookie sheets. Put in the oven and watch carefully. When the shape begins to brown (3-4 minutes), flip and finish browning the other side. Sprinkle with salt if desired and serve.

Witches Fingers
Oil
10 chicken cutlets (breasts)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 12oz can of large pitted black olives, drained
Ketchup
1 head of lettuce, shredded
Instructions:

Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C, Gas mark 4). Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Beat the eggs thoroughly in small bowl. Place the flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls.
Slice the chicken into strips that resemble a long witch's finger - skinny, long and crooked! Dip each finger first into the flour, then the egg, and finally the bread crumbs.
Arrange the chicken fingers on the baking sheet, and bake for approximately 10 minutes. Turn and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until golden brown and cooked through. To serve, put the shredded lettuce on a plate and arrange the chicken fingers on top. Cut the olives in half, and trim so that they look like a long jagged fingernail. Pop a dab of ketchup on the end of each chicken finger and top with the olive. Very gruesome, but delicious

Skeleton Bones
large egg whites
2 cups icing sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 250F (130C, Gas Mark 1/2).
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Keep beating and adding sugar until you have a meringue.
Line baking trays with paper. Using a piping bag with a plain nozzle pipe a straight meringue bone line (approximately 4 inches long). Pipe a meringue ball at the end of each bone. If necessary shape bones further using a small knife.
Bake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes or until bones have dried out.
Remove from oven and let cool on paper

Eyeballs
2 packages red gelatine (jelly)
Vanilla ice cream
Raisins
Red decorating gel

Directions:

Prepare jello (jelly) according to package instructions. Fill individual glass serving bowls with jello and place in the fridge to set.
Once the jello has set, using a spoon scoop out a circle of jello in the center of each bowl. Fill the circle with one scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Place one raisin in the center of the ice cream and using red decorating gel paint lines down the side. This will create a bloodshot eye swimming in blood! Serve quickly before the ice cream melts

Gooey Apples
6 apples
1 (14 ounce) package individually wrapped caramels
2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

Lightly butter a baking sheet and set aside. Remove the stem from each apple and stick a craft (popsicle) stick into the top. Unwrap the caramels and place them, with the milk, into a microwave safe bowl.
Microwave for approximately 2 minutes, stirring half way through. Carefully remove the caramel mixture from the microwave and let it cool for a minute or so. Quickly roll each apple in the caramel mixture until well coated.
Place on the prepared baking tray and allow to set

Interesting, talk about 'technicolor' vomit............those hosting a party should line the bathroom floors with plastic drop sheets (home depot, $1.95)! ;-)

Better yet, have the Party at someone else's house!!
