What are some good ideas for a creapy Halloween meal?

Question

I am fixing dirt cake but I need a meal to go with it....... like hot dogs looking like fingers, but what else?!?

Answer 1

Creepy Hands Punch.

Take a rubber glove and fill it with grape juice, tie the end in a knot and freeze over night.
For the punch I use Hawaiin Punch, gingerale, rainbow sherbet, and a little seltzer water (lemon lime, orange, or raspberry). Just before serving take the glove out of freezer and remove hand from glove (discard glove) and place into your punch. Your guests will enjoy the hand floating in the punch, and as it melts it will add flavor.... Enjoy

"Spooky Joes" - 8 servings

2 lbs. ground beef
2 (10 3/4 oz.) cans condensed tomato soup; undiluted
1 tsp. onion salt
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
8 hamburger buns; split
8 slices cheddar cheese

In large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the soup and onion salt; heat through. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted. Spoon about 1/2 cup onto the bottom of each bun. Cut cheese slices with 2 1/2" Halloween cookie cutters; place over beef mixture. Serve with bun tops on the side.

Green olives can look like eyeballs - in a dip, or on deviled eggs.
Peel radishes so that they're mostly white, with red squiggles - they'll look like eyeballs, too.
On your Dirt Cake, swirl Cool Whip dollops to look like ghosts, add pumpkin candies, and rectangular cookies - as headstones.

Answer 3

Buggy Pasta

4-ounces fussili (twisted spaghetti)
4-ounces spaghetti
1 medium yellow squash and/or zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
1 cup small cherry tomatoes
1 cup fresh pea pods, tips and strings removed
1 cup pitted ripe olives
1 cup pimiento stuffed olives
1 cup cubed smoked cheddar cheese or cheddar cheese (4-ounces)
1 cup unblanched whole almonds, toasted
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions (4)
1 (8-ounce) bottle regular or nonfat Italian salad dressing (1 cup)
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta; rinse with cold water and drain again.
In a large bowl combine pasta and remaining ingredients except dressing. Add dressing to pasta mixture; toss gently to coat. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours.
To serve the pasta Halloween-style, place it in a clean plastic cauldrin embellished with well-secured plastic spiders.
Makes 12 side-dish servings.

Answer 4

Pudding covered in Oreo cookie crumbs and gummy worms in it.

I'm sure you could make cauliflower look like brains. Perhaps steam it whole, melt some butter over it, with some paprika sprinkled on top. Curry tastes good on cauliflower and gives it a nice gray/brownish color. There's a recipe in "The Moosewood Cookbook" that you could probably adapt. Perhaps you could serve it in a hollowed out round squash that's been baked or steamed.

You could serve lemonade or other fruit drinks that have had gelatin mixed in to make them thick goo, but not enough to make solid.

Cut eyes, nose, and mouth into whole green peppers, stuff with favorite stuffing, then bake until they shrivel like shrunken heads.

(BTW, I just made most of this stuff up just now. It might need adjusting to look and taste good)

Answer 5

that all and sundry sounds delicious, yet all 3 issues pumpkin soup, candy potatoes, pudding are all very candy and wealthy perchance throw in a salad field vegetables with shredded carrots and black olives? perchance bread sticks rolled to look like arms, with an almond fingernail

Answer 6

Peeled grapes feel like eyeballs and spaghetti noodles look kind of like brains. Or you could get jello molds shaped like brains or other parts.

Answer 7

This is a classic I serve it every year and its always a hit with kids and adults. Especially if you get really creative and add your own personally touches...


KITTY LITTER CAKE


INGREDIENTS
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
1 (18.25 ounce) package white cake mix
2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies
3 drops green food coloring
1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions (any size pan).
Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with 1/2 of the remaining cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, you want the cake to be just moist, not soggy.
Line kitty litter box with the kitty litter liner. Put cake mixture into box.
Put half of the unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until softened. Shape the ends so that they are no longer blunt, and curve the tootsie rolls slightly. Bury tootsie rolls randomly in the cake and sprinkle with half of the remaining cookie crumbs. Sprinkle a small amount of the green colored cookie crumbs lightly over the top.
Heat 3 or 4 of the tootsie rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle lightly with some of the green cookie crumbs. Heat the remaining tootsie rolls until pliable and shape as before. Spread all but one randomly over top of cake mixture. Sprinkle with any remaining cookie crumbs. Hang the remaining tootsie roll over side of litter box and sprinkle with a few green cookie crumbs. Serve with the pooper scooper for a gross Halloween dessert.
