Brain Spread
This is a GREAT appetizer for your next Halloween Party! If you don't have a brain mold, you can substitute by lining a med. size round bowl with saran wrap and making your mold. Once the mold is set, you can take the round end of a knife or other dull, small, blunt end object and create your crevices and creases to make your brain. Takes a little more time, but works well. When done designing your brain, peel off the saran wrap, and plate to serve along with your crackers, chips etc.
SERVES 10 -12
Ingredients
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin, softened in 1/4 cup water
1 bunch green onion, finely chopped
1 lb crabmeat or lobster, shredded (or 3 lbs. cooked shrimp, coarsely chopped)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Tabasco sauce or creole seasoning, to taste
Directions
1. Heat soup, undiluted, and mix in the cream cheese.
2. Stir in softened gelatin, and blend well.
3. Fold in remaining ingredients, and pour into a lightly-oiled brain mold. (pour some oil in and swirl it around, then pour out excess).
4. Chill until firm, and serve with your favorite crackers, pita or bagel chips or scoops.
Barbecued Bat Wings
SERVES 8
Ingredients
* 4 lbs chicken wings
* 2 cups ketchup
* 1 1/2 cups molasses
* 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
* 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
* 2 tablespoons sugar
* hot sauce
* salt
* black pepper
* black paste food coloring
* blue paste food coloring
* green paste food coloring
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Boil the chicken wings for twenty minutes in a large pot. While the wings are cooking, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth in a large roasting pan. Add enough black, blue, and green food colorings to the sauce to make a dark black sauce. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, stirring once.
2. Drain the wings well and add them to the sauce and toss to coat evenly, poking the wings liberally with a fork.
3. Bake for 20 minutes, then increase the temperature to 450 degrees. Toss the wings in the sauce again to coat evenly. Bake until the sauce is thickened and slightly blackened, flipping the wings over occasionally, about another 15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Spider Web Platter
SERVES 8 -10
Ingredients
2 (14 ounce) cans refried beans
1 lb lean hamburger
1 (1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 (10 ounce) can Ro-tel green chilies
4 ounces medium hot chunky salsa
1 (8 ounce) package four cheese Mexican blend cheese
4 ounces sour cream
Tortilla chips or Frito Scoops
Directions
1. On a lg. round or oval dish spread out refried beans.
2. Fry hamburger until no longer pink, and drain grease.
3. Add Rotel tomatoes and let liquid boil out. Mixing a few times so the burger doesn't stick.
4. When most of the juice is evaporated put the meat mixture over the refried bean layer.
5. Spoon on salsa and spread across meat mixture.
6. Sprinkle with cheese.
7. Bake in 350 oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
8. In the meantime, spoon the sour cream into a small Zip-Lock bag, and cut the corner. Pipe a large dot in the middle of the cheese, then make a line about 1" from the circle all the way around.
9. Make another circle 1" from previous circle all the way around, and continue making lines until you are at the edge of the mixture.
10. Drag a tooth pick through the sour cream to make a web design OR you can draw horizontal lines with the sour cream a few inches apart, all the way around to make a spider web, so you can add more sour cream to the top. I usually do it this way.
11. Decorate the top with a little spider for added affect (can be an edible food "spider" on non-edible novelty item)
12. Use tortilla chips to scoop dip.
