| Eerie Witch's Brew
4 c Cranberry juice cocktail Instructions: A smoking cauldron of punch made with grapes and orange peel masquerading as eyeballs and worms. A SERIOUS CAUTION: never touch dry ice; use tongs to handle In a 1 to 2 quart pan, bring 1 cup of cranberry juice and candied With a vegetable peeler, pare peel (colored part only) from oranges; cut peel into thin 2-inch-long worms; or use an Oriental shredder to make long shreds. Add orange peel to cranberry mixture. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. Juice oranges; put juice in a 6 to 8 quart pan or heavy bowl. Stir in cranberry-ginger mixture, the 3 cups cranberry juice, apple juice concentrate, limeade, grapes and water. If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours. Add ginger ale and about a 1 pound piece of dry ice (DO NOT put small pieces in punch or cups); ice should smolder at least 30 minutes. Ladle into cups. Add any remaining ice when bubbling ceases. Makes 5 quarts; allow about 1-1/2 cups for a serving. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Glycol Punch This punch only requires two ingredients: Diet Mountain Dew, which has an decidedly evil odd yellow glow to it. Diet is necessary so that you don't over sugar people. A flourescent blue liquid. We suggest Bluedini Koolaid, made according to the package directions. Start by pouring out the soda and adding the blue. You know you've got it right when you get the sickly yellow-green of many Glycol-based Antifreezes. Plus, when you drink, it fizzes! This is a truly discusting punch that kids love. You can also use dry ice for the punch, just make sure there's adult supervision as you don't want the kids touching the ice! It looks really gruesome! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ghosts on Broomsticks Serving Size : 12 1 lb White chocolate chips Heat 2 inches of water to simmering, not boiling, in the bottom of a double boiler. Place the white chocolate chips in the smaller pot and set it over the pot of simmering water. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is fully melted. Remove from the heat. Cover 2 cookie sheets with waxed paper. Arrange the wooden sticks on the waxed paper, 6 to a sheet. Spoon ghost-shaped blobs of chocolate onto the paper, partially covering each stick. Press 2 candies into each ghost for eyes. Freeze ghosts for 15 minutes, or until hard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eyeball Tacos 1 lb. ground beef MIX ground beef and seasoning mix. Shape into 36 (1-inch) balls; place in 15x10x1-inch baking pan. BAKE at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until cooked through. Fill each taco shell with 1 meatball, salsa and other desired ingredients. Top with 2 meatballs dipped in sour cream. Garnish with olives or bell peppers to make "eyeballs." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
