Halloween Food

By Yana

Spooky Spider Web Dip Platter


Special thanks to www.fabulousfoods.com for sharing this great recipe
What you need:
-double batch of Mexican-style bean dip
-single batch guacamole OR single batch low fat guacamole
-1/4 C sour cream or low fat sour cream
-tortilla chips or baked tortilla chips
Serves 8
Spread a layer of bean dip over a large round plate. Carefully spread a layer of guacamole over this. Put sour cream in a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip and pipe concentric circles on the guacamole. Take a toothpick or wooden skewer and drag it through the sour cream from the center outward to make spider web design.  

Note: If you don’t have a pastry bag, put sour cream in a small plastic Ziplock bag, cut off a small piece of the corner and pipe sour cream this way.

Bloody Eyeball Hors d'Oeuvres


What you need (per eyeball):
-1 radish
-1 pimiento stuffed green olive
To make "eyeballs," peel radishes, leaving thin streaks of red skin on to represent blood vessels. Using the tip of the vegetable peeler or a small, knife, carefully scoop out a small hole in each radish, roughly the size of an olive. Stuff a green olive, pimiento side out, in each hole. Arrange "eyeballs" on serving plate.
