TRICK OR TREAT

Tis the season & I'm hosting another halloween party.
After scouring Pinterest I found a few fun/creepy/gross
snacks to serve to all my victims friends.

Here is a fun & easy one that everyone seemed to enjoy.

COOKIE TEETH!!



Ingredients:

Prepared cookie dough
Cookie icing
Mini marshmallows

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees

Form your cookie dough into thin circles & space
evenly on your lined cookie sheet.

Bake for the recommended time (about 12 minutes)


Let the cookies cool.
Once they are cool to the touch, cut them in half evenly.


Take your cookie icing (I chose red) and line the rounded half of each side





Take your marshmallows and start lining them up on top of
one halved cookie, try to get bigger ones on the end.





You can even have a tooth missing or have gaps in the teeth, make it crazy.



Now take the other half of your iced cookie and place it on top
of your marshmallows.

Let them dry for at least a few hours before you serve to ensure that they 
stay together.

Everyone really enjoyed these fun treats last night. 


Here are a couple of the other fun snacks that I made last night.



HAPPY HALLOWEEEN !!!!

CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING


Ive had sweet bread pudding before and honestly, I'm not a fan.
They always put raisins in bread pudding and I'm like
"get your raisins out of my dessert"
I stumbled upon this recipe (it didn't have raisins in it), and thought I would give it a try.




Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
3/4 cup of sugar
1 cup of milk
1 cup of heavy whipping cream
1 loaf of Challah
7 ounces of dark chocolate





Directions:


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla & sea salt.





Add the milk & cream into the bowl and whisk again.






Take the Challah and slice it into 6, 1 inch slices.



Now, cube those slices.


Add those into the mixture.


Take your chocolate and roughly chop it.



Add half of the chocolate into the mixture and combine. 
Let mixture sit & soak for about 30 minutes.



Take a pan (I used my spring form pan), and grease the inside with butter.
Then pour the mixture into the pan.


Sprinkle the remaining chocolate on the top  and pop it in the oven.





Bake in the oven for around 50 minutes.




ENJOY!!

BTW
My friend Nathan came over to try it and asked
"are there raisins in it?"
