| I found these in my files. They obviously come from the USA somehow but sorry I can't remember where, when or from whom! Phantom Punch 1 Qt. Orange Juice 1 Qt. Seltzer Water or Club Soda 1/2 Gallon Sherbert Apple Pieces Raisins Tangerine Slices Grape Juice Combine the liquid ingredients in a large bowl. Using a muffin tin, make 6 phantom faces by freezing apple pieces, raisins, and tangerine slices in grape juice. Float these on the mixture. Complete by slicing sherbert into small squares and float on top. Serves 8-10 thirsty ghosts! Frankensteins Mouth A Cute and Healthy Party treat! Cut red apples into 6-8 neat wedges, Sandwich two pieces of apple together, with a good helping of peanut butter, place mini- marshmallows in a row, on the red side, (the lips) to look like "teeth" Freaky Halloween Ice Cubes Freeze plastic flies in ice cubes and add them to individual glasses or the punch bowl (make sure you're guest KNOW that they are NOT edible). Another alternative is to put gummy worms in the ice cubes (you could use any type of spooky little thing that comes to mind) RECIPE: Eyeballs Ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 1/2 cups peanut butter 1 lb. icing sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 12 oz. white chocolate Preparation: Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and blend thoroughly. Shape into small 1-inch balls and refrigerate on waxed paper for half an hour. Melt the white chocolate (you can use a microwave for this). With a toothpick, dip the "eyeballs" into the chocolate, covering all but a small circle on the top. Let cool on waxed paper. Makes around 40 eyeballs. STRAINED EYEBALLS 6 eggs, hardcooked, cooled and peeled 6 oz whipped cream cheese 12 green olives stuffed with pimientos red food coloring or ketchup Half eggs widthwise. Remove yolks and fill the hole with cream cheese, smoothing surface as much as possible. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimiento up, for an eerie green iris and red pupil. Dip a toothpick into ketchup and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese. "BUGS" 12 oz chocolate chips 12 oz butterscotch chips 1 pkg peanuts 1 pkg chow mein noodles Melt chocolate & butterscotch over hot water, soften noodles by adding hot water. Strain noodles and mix with nuts. Mix well and drop by spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet. Chill until firm. |
