vivienAside from candied apples, caramel apples, pumpkin seeds, and the like, there aren't a lot of foods associated with Halloween. Aside for candy, of course. Mmmm candy.
I enjoy the goofy Halloween party foods like chicken fingers with olives on the tips (Witches Fingers - oooooooooooooo spooky) and bizarre sweet combinations that put a lot of stuff together under a quirky name to fit the theme. It makes me laugh, what can I say.
One of my favorite Halloween dishes is Graveyard Dirt. It is super easy and super delicious.
Ingredients:
Oreo cookies
Chocolate Jello Instant Pudding mix
milk (er, however much it says on the pudding mix box)
whipped cream (the kind in the tub)
Gummy worms
Okay, so you make the instant pudding, which pretty much consists of whisking the mix and the milk together and letting it set up a few minutes.
Then you take the Oreo cookies and either put them in a big Ziploc bag and whack the heck out of them with a heavy utensil (like an ice cream scoop) or you can put them in a bowl and smush them with a potato masher. This is a fun recipe to make with kids, by the way. Anyway, the point is to destroy the Oreos so they are little more than crumbly crumbs. But not too fine. You want them chunky.
Scoop about half a tub of the whipped cream into the pudding bowl. Mix together.
Pour the Oreo crumbs into the pudding and mix. Now you have Graveyard Dirt, muahahahahaha!
Dish the dirt into a baking dish - rectangle or square is best - and then festoon the dirt surface with gummy worms. Bury a few so they poke out of the dirt. That's always fun. If you are adventurous - or you have kids around - sterilize plastic graves, rats, insects, etc. to decorate the graveyard.
Then dig in. Har har, get it? It is truly a tasty treat.
