Witchy Finger Cookies

With an almond shortbread cookie, some slivered almonds, red icing and a few mini chocolate chips, you can make some pretty impressive cookies that ACTUALLY look like fingers.  And it’s not hard.  I won’t lie… it’s somewhat time consuming, so if you’re looking for a quickie… check one of the other ideas. But the cookies are delish and I promise you a reaction people will remember year after year! Here is the Witch Finger Recipe.

Gross-Out Intestines Pastry

Wow. Yeah. These are intense looking. I tried it and it came out amazing and yummy. The idea came from the WannaBite website, who says that even some of the adults wouldn’t take a bite… which I could see. I am 100 percent making this Creepy Gross Halloween Recipe again for Halloween night.

It is actually really simple with just four ingredients: sheet of puff pastry (thawed), 1 egg (for egg wash),1 cup of chocolate chips (to roll inside the pastry), and 1 cup of cherry or raspberry pie filling (for a “bloody” look).

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
• Cut the pastry into long strips, about 1 inch wide.
• Drop a thin line of chocolate chips along the center of each strip.
• Fold the edges of each strip over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a filled tube.
• Arrange the filled pastry tubes on the prepared baking sheet in a winding, intestine-like pattern. Be creative with the twists and turns to make it look realistic.
• Brush the pastry with egg wash to give it a nice golden color when baked.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
• Let the pastry cool slightly before serving. The pie filling can be spread around the pastry for a gruesome effect, perfect for Halloween!

Eyeball Pizza

This is an easy and fun one for any family.  A quick throw together. Take any pizza (sure, you could make your own, but you could also just buy a plain frozen pizza), then get some salami, fresh mozzarella, slice it up, toss a few on top, and include a black olive slice.

Easy-peasy, fun, and the silly type of gross that still holds a bit of an ICK factor.

Bananas Ghosts

Looking for healthy because you’re overloaded on sugar?  Check this out:

Yeah… bananas with tiny chocolate chips for eyes/mouth (or just eyes)  And yeah, you could us raisins, but come on… a little more chocolate won’t hurt!  Personally, I sliced them in half length-wise, stuck a popsicle stick in the bottom, and popped them in the freezer!  Yum!

And then clementine oranges with a tiny piece of celery as a pumpkin stem.  I want to make those darn things every day they’re so cute.

Not scary folks. Even the ghosts, barely spooky. But adorable, simple and creative enough to make this list anyway.

Great tutorial from DailyLeisure.com
