Dracula's Dentures


Dracula's dentures....hmmm doesnt it look almost real.  Got this idea from here. You would not believe it, my son who loves chocolate chip cookie, did not even take a bite of this. He thinks its too yucky.....lol.

We had a fun time decorating these cookies.

Method

Your favorite cookie recipe.  Before it cools completely, cut in half. Put frosting on both sides.  Arrange the marshmallows, Top with the other half cookie.  Use slivered almonds as fangs.

Spooky halloween cookie.....done.




Mummy Meatloaf and Witch Finger

Every year for Halloween, me and my daughter try to make some fun meal.  Today we planned to make this meatlof which uses any of your favorite meatloaf recipe.  Shape it and bake in a round baking dish.  Let cool slightly and top in the eye area a sliced cheese.  In the meantime, cook few pieces of lasagna noodle. Put it on a buttered dish and cut into strips.  Wrap the mummy a.k.a the meatloaf.  Top the eyes with olive.

My daughter said the mummy looks like he has just been mummified....

Mummy Meatloaf


Witch's Finger 

My witch finger is too fat.  Next time I will have to make the bread dough little small.  Eventhough it is bread but it looked gruesome. Dipped them in ketchup and it looked like a severed finger...lol.

Doesnt that look like blood....!
