- [Host] What kind of street does a ghost like most?
A dead end.
So whether you live in Ghost-a Rica, Boo-dapest
or anywhere else, these quick and simple Halloween treats
are sure to steal the show.
You can make some spooktacular doughnut bats
with a handful of ingredients
in just a few minutes.
All you need to get started
are some chocolate-covered doughnuts,
chocolate wafers,
chocolate frosting,
and candy eyes.
Oh and don't forget your choice of edible fangs.
For each doughnut, break a wafer in half
and stick one on each side for the wings.
Break up another wafer into smaller triangles
and use it as ears for each bat.
Now you can add almond slivers, sunflower seeds or sprinkles
as fangs by simply stabbing them into the center
of the doughnut.
Add candy eyes with dabs of frosting to hold them in place.
And look at that.
A deliciously creepy doughnut.
Creep your guests out with this crunchy carrot finger food.
Pick out four longer carrots for fingers
and then one shorter one as the thumb.
Wash and peel your carrots before cutting them to size.
Then carve a shallow, flat notch
into the top of each carrot.
Place your veggie dip in a bowl
and use a few dabs of it to hold your fingernails in place.
You can use almond slices, pumpkin seeds,
or anything similar.
Carefully place each finger in the dip
to form your hand and then dress up your dish
with some baby carrots for dipping.
It's the perfect party platter that hungry guests
can't wait to get their fingers on.
With just a few ingredients, you can create
these fun monster mouths.
For this snack, choose a bright red apple for the lips,
and remove the core and cut an even number of slices.
To make sure the teeth stay in place,
use a generous coat of creamy peanut butter on each side.
For each pair of lips, place three to four
mini-marshmallows with the peanut butter on one side
and then sandwich it together with the other slice
to form your smile.
White chocolate chips are a fun alternative
for fang-like teeth.
Decorate or design them however you wish.
The important thing is to have fun
and create smiles in the process.
How about some bloody Band-Aid cookies?
You can make this disgustingly delicious treat
for partygoers with minimal ingredients
and in just a few steps.
All you need is a package of graham crackers,
white frosting or icing, and either red frosting
or decorating gel.
Start by breaking the graham cracker into sections
and spread white icing onto the middle of each cracker.
Try to form a square in the middle third
and then add a dab of red icing
to create your bloody-looking, unthinkably scary
Band-Aid treats.
They actually taste like gingerbread cookies,
so kids'll love 'em.
Nothing quite says Halloween
like the iconic face of a jack-o'-lantern.
But perhaps you're running low on time, funds,
or even resources.
Instead of carving out pumpkins and dealing with the mess,
make some out of some citrus fruit.
Get yourself a bag of small orange citrus
and a black permanent marker and you're in business.
This is the part where you can get really creative
and put some personality into your pumpkins.
Make them as unique as you wish.
Simply toss 'em in a bowl
and you're ready for that potluck party.
Now here's another fun and simple way to add a festive flair
to your everyday snacks.
Flip your pudding containers upside-down
and use a permanent marker to draw eyes and a mouth
to create a ghostlike snack.
Use this same concept on other packages like string cheese.
Mix it up with various faces and expressions
to create a nice boo-quet of Halloween snacks.
Holy guacamole.
Is that a puking pumpkin?
Sick.
To create your own puking jack-o'-lantern,
draw out your own design, and then carve out the top
and gut the insides.
You can just carve out some triangular eyes
or get creative with these colorful eyes
than can be stacked into place
or inserted into circular holes.
The most important part is cutting out a mouth
and placing guacamole in the mouth
and around the front of your pumpkin.
Now finish it off by
surrounding it with some tortilla chips.
We also added some pumpkin seeds for teeth
to give it some extra personality.
What you're left with is a grotesque yet tasty platter
that'll be sure to garner plenty of attention.
Now this colorful and tasty snack
is not only perfect for Halloween,
but the entire fall season.
You'll need mini-pretzels, orange chocolate melts,
and some green m&ms.
Now heat the melting chocolate
according to the package directions.
You can also use white chocolate and mix red and yellow
food coloring together until you get
your desired tint of orange.
Dunk each pretzel in chocolate, then strain excess
chocolate with a fork.
Now place it on a sheet of wax paper.
You'll wanna quickly place a green m&m
at the top of the pretzel and let it sit
until the chocolate is set.
If you have milk chocolate, you can melt that too
and add candy eyes and create screaming pretzels.
You can quickly whip together a batch of these
and please any crowd.
For this one all you're gonna need are some carrots.
The thicker, the better.
Using a sharp knife, cut two parallel slits
lengthwise down the carrot.
The distance between the cuts
will determine the width of your pumpkin stem.
Now make perpendicular cuts from each side of your carrot
to the stem.
Remove a small triangular shape from both sides.
The depth of your cut will
determine the height of your stem.
For a more rounded pumpkin shape, carve
the angles at the top with a paring knife or a peeler.
Now for a healthy alternative to all that candy,
serve up the carrots as is or toss 'em in some soup.
As always, thanks for watching and tuning in
to The Household Snacker Spooktacular.
We'll see you next time.
