Hey guys, it’s Ro!
Halloween happens to be my absolute favorite holiday!
So today, we are going to be making some spooky Halloween Treats.
Let’s get started!
The first treat we are going to be making are these simple
Chocolate Pumpkin Pretzels. The things you will need, will be:
Orange melting chocolates, one bag of mini pretzels, a bunch of
green M&M’s and a little squeezy bottle.
The first thing you’re gonna do is heat up your melting chocolates in a bowl.
I just put them in the microwave, and then pour half of your melting
chocolates into a squeezy bottle.
Then, take a pretzel and completely submerge it into the bowl of melted chocolate.
Using a fork, let the excess chocolate drip off and place it
onto a piece of wax paper. To make them look more like a pumpkin,
take your squeezy bottle and fill in the three holes with orange chocolate.
And then, finally take your green M&M’s and place them on the
top to look like a little stem! Make as many of these as you want!
Om nom nom nom nom! And put them on a plate to serve.
Our second treat that we’re gonna make are these Candy Corn Sugar Cookies.
The things you will need, to make these yummy cookies, will be:
Sugar cookie mix, or your favorite sugar cookie recipe, flour,
1/3 cup of butter, 1 egg, yellow food coloring and orange food coloring.
In a medium bowl, combine your cookie mix, butter, and egg.
Then, mix together until your dough is thick and smooth.
Doo-doo-doo-doo. Now divide your cookie dough evenly into
three separate bowls. Using your yellow and orange food coloring,
dye two of your batches of dough. Once you’ve worked the dye into
the dough, place it flat on top of a piece of cling wrap, and then wrap
it tight. Do this to all of the colors, and put them in the freezer
for about 10 minutes to chill.
While it’s chilling, we’re going to make a little bit of egg wash.
You’re gonna need one egg, crack it open put egg whites in one,
put the yolk off to the side, and mix a little water into your egg whites.
And we’re gonna use this little rubber basting brush to apply.
Once your dough has chilled, brush the egg wash on top of the regular
white dough, then place the orange dough on top. Use your egg wash again,
and then place on the yellow dough. You do this so the dough will stick
together when they bake. Wrap your dough up again and place in the freezer
for one hour to chill. After freezing, cut your 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 at 350 Degrees and then place
them onto your favorite serving tray.
Ermahgerd! They look just like little candy corns!
Next, we are going to be making a Halloween themed drink.
One of my absolute favorite tropical drinks are pina coladas, so we are
going to be making those with a spooky twist.
Get ready for Pina GHOULavas! This recipe can be made with or without
spirit, it tastes good either way! The things you will need will be:
Coconut rum, if you’d like, 20 ounces of pineapple juice, raspberry puree,
15 ounces of cream of coconut, which is one can, 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, 1/2 a cup of orange juice and
a bowl of ice.
Before we make our drink, we are going to decorate 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 can use a spatula, and red food coloring dye.
Heat on top of the stove until a candy thermometer reaches 310 degrees.
Then you’re going to remove the sauce pan and wait for the bubbles to stop popping.
And then you’re going to slowly dip the rim of your hurricane glass, spinning
it around, into the candy, and letting the excess drip onto the glass.
While the creepy candy is setting, we are gonna make the drinks.
First, pour your heavy cream into the mixer, then add your orange juice, pineapple
juice, and creamed coconut. This is also where you can add a little spirit if
you’d like, 10 ounces. Now turn on the blender and mix it up!
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbsh
Pour all of your belnded drink mixture into a 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 cups of ice and mix it up!
Using your raspberry puree, pour in a small amount, onto the sides and
bottom of the glass, then pour in your blended drink to finally our Pina GHOULavas.
wah wah wah wah!!!!!
For our last treat, we are going to be making a Halloween themed chip dip,
Frankamole!
The things that you will need for this recipe are: 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 in a bowl, I’ve made guacamole
both ways and they both taste delicious!
First, add your garlic and then 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice.
And then a 1/4 cup of chopped red onion, and then mix them together.
Once mixed, slice your avocados and add them in and mix together until your
desired texture. Do you want smooth or chunky guacamole? It’s up to you!
Put the guacamole onto a big serving plate and shape into a big rectangle.
Now for the fun part, we are going to create Frankenstein’s face.
I put some sour cream in a plastic bag, and I’m piping 2 circles for his eyes.
Then, I’m going to cut our olives into different sizes to complete little
details on his face! Lastly, I’m placing a bunch of chips at the top of his head
in layers to look like hair.
Ta-da!
Here are all the yummy Halloween themed treats we made today!
We’ve got Frankamole chip dip, we’ve got Pina GHOULavas, I love pina colavas,
Candy Corn sugar cookies, and Chocolate Pretzel Pumpkins!
