Okay – these are not mine but great ideas….from a Pagan site that I spend lots of time on! Here’s to a witchy sense of humor!
Witches Hat Cookies
32 Kisses milk chocolates, unwrapped
1 package (11 1/2 ounces) fudge-striped shortbread cookies (32)
1 tube (4.25 ounces) orange or red icing
- Attach 1 milk choclate Kiss to bottom of each chocolate cookie bottom, using icing.
- Pipe icing around base of chocolate candy.
Witches Broom Cookies
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 pretzel rods, about 8 1/2 inches long, cut crosswise in half
2 teaspoons shortening
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Butterscotch-flavored chips, melted
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Mix brown sugar, butter, water and vanilla in medium bowl. Stir in flour and salt. Shape dough into twenty 1 1/4-inch balls.
- Place pretzel rod halves on ungreased cookie sheet. Press ball of dough onto cut end of each pretzel rod. Press dough with fork to resemble “bristles” of broom.
- Bake about 12 minutes or until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire rack, about 30 minutes.
- Cover cookie sheet with waxed paper. Place brooms on waxed paper. Heat shortening and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth; remove from heat. Spoon melted chocolate over brooms, leaving about 1 inch at top of pretzel handle and bottom halves of cookie bristles uncovered. Drizzle with melted butterscotch chips. Let stand until chocolate is set.
Just for fun this week…..one for kids with a gross sense of humor….
Earwax on a Swab:
24 mini marshmallows
6 ounces butterscotch chips
TOOLS needed: scissors, 12 straws, small microwave safe bowl, waxed paper, toothpick
Snip straws into 2 1/2 inch lengths (about 24)
To form cotton swab part, firmly press a mini marshmallow onto the end of each straw piece.
Place butterscotch chips into bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir with toothpick and repeat until melted.
Dip the very end tip of each cotton swab into the melted earwax and place on the waxed paper to harden.
