2. ARRANGE vegetables in a skeleton shape on platter, using the bowl as the head of the skeleton.

Monster Claws

2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon plus 2 tsp cajun seasoning -- divided
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts -cut lengthwise into 3/4-inch strips
1 1/2 cups cornflake crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
3 eggs -- lightly beaten
1 red, yellow or orange bell pepper -- cut into triangles
Barbecue sauce

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease baking sheets. Place flour and 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning in large resealable plastic food storage bag. Add chicken and seal. Shake bag to coat.

Combine cornflake crumbs, green onion and remaining 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning in large shallow bowl; mix well. Place eggs in shallow bowl. Dip each chicken strips into eggs and then into crumb mixture. Place coated chicken strips on prepared baking sheet. Bake chicken strips 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.

When chicken is cool enough to handle, make 1/2-inch slit in thinner end. Place bell pepper triangle into slit to form claw nail. Serve claws with barbecue sauce for dipping.

Bat Wing Soup

4 garlic cloves, peeled

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) stewed tomatoes

1/2 cup whipping cream

6 slices bread, crusts removed

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

In a saucepan, saute garlic in oil until tender. In a blender or food processor, process garlic and tomatoes in batches until smooth. Return all to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Add cream and heat through.

Follow directions to cut bat wings from bread. (To make bat wings, remove crusts from bread. Flatten with a rolling pin. Using a kitchen shears, cut each slice in half diagonally, cutting wavy lines to resemble bat wings.)

Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread with butter; sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake at 400° for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Add two wings to each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.

Answer 3

You can make an easy pumpkin cake by taking a bundt pan, baking two bundt cakes, and then putting the two flat edges together. Then cover it in orange frosting and add some decorations to make it look like a pumpkin. I made this last year, and unless you are feeding more than five people, I would see if there is a smaller size bundt pan available because not only was it a large round size, it was also very tall. Maybe only fill the mold half way so it isn't so tall.
Just an idea.

Answer 4

This is an incomplete idea, but I remember a Halloween meal some friends made where they added food coloring to pasta water and got these great weird colors. I was thinking, why not try that with cellophane noodles and red food coloring? It'll look like entrails: blood red, clear noodles. Just mix with vanilla or chocolate pudding.

Answer 8

I make a cauldren of chili and top it off with "carved pumpkin slices of kraft singles" use a smily face pumpkin cookie cutter, or a small knife to cut out the cheese slices, when you put them on top of the hot chili right before serving they warp into some pretty cool shapes!
