Good afternoon.
I hope you’re all having a grate Wednesday, mine’s going alright accept for my energy levels seem a bit low today. It’s ok though, we’re working on figuring out why and then we can fix the issue. Personally I chalk it up to the lack of sleep as I haven’t been getting enough of that lately.
I have a small update on the SSB situation.
I spoke to my counselor this morning and she told me that I have been approved for Microsoft Xcel for one whole year. I have been informed that it costs about $70 and that more than likely I’ll have to pay for it and then SSB will reimburse me. I’m not supposed to do anything yet however because someone else needs to give the ok. Blah. I really want to start the Hadley Xcel course but here i am, waiting once again.
Anyway, enough of that. I promised you guys halloween recipes and I’m going to give you halloween recipes. I’ll post three of my favorites.
Magical Hats
1 C. tiny marshmallows
1/2 C. peanuts
1/2 C. candy corn
1/2 C. large milk chocolate pieces
20 plain, colored and/or chocolate ice cream cones
6 (2 oz.) squares chocolate- or vanilla-flavored candy coating, melted
20 (2- to 3-inch) chocolate cookies
Assorted small candies
In a medium bowl stir together marshmallows, peanuts, candy corn and chocolate pieces. Set mixture aside.
Place ice cream cones on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Spread outside of cones with melted chocolate or vanilla coating. If desired, sprinkle small candies on the cone before the coating dries completely.* Let coating dry.
Turn cones upside down and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the marshmallow mixture.
Place the cones upside down inside a mug and brush a generous amount of melted chocolate or vanilla coating along the bottom edge of the cone. Press a cookie against the coating and let dry.
Carefully turn the cone right side up onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
*If desired, leave some cones plain and decorate after filling. Decorate the outside of the plain cones with small candies, using the melted coating to stick the candies onto the cone.
Ghosts in the Graveyard
1 package (16 ounces) of chocolate sandwich cookies (I prefer Oreos).
3 1/2 cups of cold milk
2 packages (4 serving size each) of JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant pudding & Pie Filling
1 tub (12 ounces) of Cool Whip
Crush the cookies in a zipper style plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor. Pour the cold milk into a large bowl. Add the pudding mixes.
Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes. Gently stir in 3 cups of the whipped topping and 1/2 of the crushed cookies. Spoon into a 13 x 9 inch dish. Sprinkle
with the remaining crushed cookies. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. * To decorate the Graveyard: Decorate assorted cookies with decorating
icings or gels to create “tombstones”. Stand the tombstones on top of dessert with candy corn, candy pumpkins and tiny jelly beans. Drop the remaining
whipped topping by the spoonfuls onto the dessert to create ghosts. Decorate with small candies to create eyes.
Makes 15 to 18 servings
And…last but not least…
Dracula’s Punch
1 cup of purple grape juice
6 cups of cran-strawberry juice, chilled
6 cups of raspberry ginger ale, chilled
One 1 quart tub of rainbow sherbet
Have ready 2 sheets of candy bat molds with 2 bat molds on each and a large punch bowl. Secure the bat molds on a baking sheet with foil to keep them from
tipping. Carefully pour grape juice into molds, freeze. To serve. Pour the cran-starwberry juice and ginger ale into punch bowl. Spoon sherbet into bowl,
stir to mix. Place the frozen bats on top. Makes about 15 cups
I have way more recipes than this and maybe I’ll post a few more tomorrow for Halloween. I hope you all enjoy these.
I’m off for now, I’m thinking of doing a show later but we’ll see how i feel. I actually have the ability to put people on air now so this is very exciting for me as I’ve wanted to be able to do this since I’ve started broadcasting.
You all have a good rest of your day and I’ll be back again.
Until next time…
Be good to yourselves and each other. Remember, self_care is a good thing.
Love,
A Misfit Faerie
