| WORM DIRT CAKE
1 to 1 1/4 lb. pkg. Oreo cookies 1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup powdered sugar 3 cups milk 1 (12 oz.) tub Cool Whip (can use chocolate) 2 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. instant vanilla or chocolate pudding 1/2 tsp. vanilla 4 gummy worms and/or other critters
This popular "novelty" cake is a hit at children's parties, especially around Halloween. You'll receive many appreciative compliments from your guests such as "Ewww, that's gross!"
It really resembles a pudding more than it does a conventional cake. If you serve it as an everyday family dessert, rather than as a fun decorative element, it's possible that your family may not understand it!
Crush Oreos. Put 1/3 of the crushed Oreos into a new, clean flower pot. Set aside.
Mix butter, cream cheese and sugar and vanilla together. Set aside.
Combine milk and pudding mix. Fold Cool Whip into the pudding.
Fold together pudding mixture and butter-cream cheese mixture.
Layer this mixture (about 1/3 of it) onto the crumbled cookies in the pot. Next, add another layer of the pudding mixture, then another layer of cookie crumbs, continuing until all ingredients are used.
As you're layering the ingredients, decoratively place several gummy worms and critters in the "soil" so they will be seen emerging. If you have a toy (clean) garden trowel, a plastic daisy, or some edible flowers, these can also be used creatively to embellish the presentation.
Chill in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving. | |

| HALLOWEEN COOKIES 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp.) unsalted butter, softened 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract Sift together the flour and salt onto a sheet of wax paper. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat butter on high speed for 2 minutes. On medium speed, gradually add sugar, beating for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice (turn mixer off first). Add egg and vanilla and beat for 1 minute. Scrape down bowl and add half of the flour mixture. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Add the remaining flour and continue beating until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 2 to 3 minutes. Cooks Note: Depending upon the humidity where the flour has been stored, more or less flour may be needed to produce a dough that is easy to roll out. A little more flour may be added, as needed, but try to use as little as possible, since adding more flour makes for a less delicate cookie. Turn dough out onto a clean surface which has been lightly dusted with flour. Divide into two portions. Shape each half into a ball, then flatten into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. To make the dough easier to roll out, store in refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours or for as long as 2 days. Before using remove from refrigerator for 10 minutes. Lightly dust a work surface (or silicone sheet) with flour. Roll dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Preheat an oven to 350°F. Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Select cookie cutters in desired shapes and dip into flour. Cut shapes and transfer to cookie sheets. Gather up scraps and re-roll. Refrigerate the cookies until firm, 20 to 30 minutes. Bake until golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool the cookie sheet on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies directly onto the racks and let completely. Decorate as desired and allow icing to dry before storing in an airtight container. Makes about 100 cookies, depending upon size. | |

| HALLOWEEN BEEF PIES
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef 1 med. onion chopped 1 tbsp. chili powder 2 cans tomato sauce 1/2 tsp. salt 1 sm. can chopped olives 1 (10 oz.) can biscuits 1 tsp. cumin 1/4 tsp. garlic powder 10 slices American cheese
Brown beef and onion; drain. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, salt, and garlic over mixture. Stir in tomato sauce and olives; cover and cook slowly for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Roll each biscuit to make a 4-inch circle. Press over the bottom of a greased muffin cup to fit snugly. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove biscuits immediately and place on a cookie sheet.
Cut a 3-inch circle from each cheese slice and cut each with a sharp knife to make "jack-o-lantern" face. Chop cheese scraps into meat mixture. Place equal amounts of meat mixture in each biscuit cup and top with cheese face. Return to oven for about 3 minutes until cheese face begins to melt. Great way to get ghosts and goblins to eat before trick or treats! | |
