~Halloween Recipes~ ~BLOODY POPCORN~ Add some red food colouring to the butter while melting it and pour over the popcorn. ~SWAMP SLIME~ Make green jello. Put some of it in clear plastic containers and put some aside. When the jello starts to solidify, add various gummy bugs. Beat the rest of the jello to a froth and add to the top of the slime. Let jello set. ~CHEESE FINGERS~ Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove crusts from 3 slices of white bread and discard crusts. With your hands, break bread into small pieces and drop into a medium bowl. Add 3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese and 3 tablespoons milk. Mis well with hands, kneading the bread into the cheese, until dough will hold the shape of a ball. Roll heaping teaspoonfuls of mixture into 15 fingers and arrange on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until fingers begin to turn brown. ~DEAD GRASSHOPPERS~ In a medium saucepan, melt 1-6 ounce package butterscotch chips over low heat, stirring constantly. (To microwave, place pieces in a micro-wave safe dish and cook on medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Stir well. If necessary, continue to heat chips, 20 seconds at a time, until they are melted. Be sure to stir chips each time you heat them.) Remove chips from the heat and stir in 1 cup salted peanuts and 3 cups chow mein noodles. Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper and cool. Makes 30-40 grasshoppers. ~DIRT~ Put chocolate pudding in clear plastic containers and imbed a gummy worm or two. Cover the top of the pudding with crushed chocolate cookie crumbs. It looks good if a worm is peeking out of the dirt. ~WITCHES BREW~ This makes a nice drink. In a clear punch bowl mix equal parts blue kool-aid and lemon-lime pop. Add some crushed ice, and continue to add more every half hour or so. ~SPIDERS~ A prune for the body, licorice slivers or stick pretzels for the legs, and two red candies for the eyes. ~APPLE JACK O' LANTERNS~ Use a sharp knife and carefully cut portions of the skin away to make eyes, nose, and mouth. ~WITCH'S HATS~ Use a large, flat, dark cookie for the brim and an ice-cream sugar cone for the crown. Fill the cone with ice cream even to the rim and center it on top of the cookie. ~GHOULISH DIP~ Add a few drops of green food coloring to a plain sour-cream based chip or vegetable dip and scatter small bits of red and yellow bell pepper across the top. ~HALLOWEEN PUNCH~   4 c Apple cider 1 1/2 c Orange juice 1 c Pineapple juice 2 tb Sugar 4 c Ginger ale Ice cubes   Stir together the apple cider, orange juice, pineapple juice and sugar in a punch bowl.  Pour in the ginger ale.  Add ice cubes.  Makes 10-1/2 cups.
