Screaming Strawberry Ghosts

Ingredients

30 fresh strawberries            8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
1 tsp shortening                   1/4 C miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1/8 tsp almond extract

Directions

    1. Wash strawberries and gently pat with paper towels until completely dry. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate and shortening at 50% power; stir until smooth. Stir in extract.
    2. Dip strawberries in chocolate mixture; place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to form the ghosts’ tails. Immediately press chocolate chips into the coating for eyes. Freeze 5 minutes.
    3. In the microwave, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw a mouth on each ghost. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

Edible Eyeballs

3.4-ounce box vanilla pudding mix
Black Jelly Beans
LifeSavers Gummies
Plastic Easter eggs (use the smaller half)
2 empty egg cartons

Make the pudding according to the directions on the box.
Fit a jelly bean in the center of a gummy Lifesaver and place it in one-half of the plastic egg.

Do this for each eyeball. Fill the egg with a dollop of the pudding (so it’s the size eyeball you’d like) and place in the egg carton for support. Place in the freezer for about 3 hours. You want them to be firm. To remove after they’re set, let them rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes and then gently squeeze them out of the plastic egg. Ready for use immediately or place the eyeballs into a freezer-safe dish and keep for up to 2 days before use. Makes about 24 eyeballs.

Ghoulishly Glowing Cupcakes

A foodsnots original recipe

Needed:

    • 1 black light
    • 24 prepared and cooled cupcakes

White Glow In The Dark Frosting

    • 7 cups confectioners’ sugar
    • 1 cup vegetable shortening
    • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
    • 5 tablespoons tonic water {diet tonic water works too}
    • mini chocolate chips morsels
Extras Needed for Colored Glowing Frosting
  Note: The darker it is the less it glows
    • Neon Food Color
    • 0.3-ounce package of either Lime or Orange Gelatin
    • 1 cup boiling water
    • 1 cup chilled tonic water

Prepare desired cupcakes and allow to cool. Begin frosting by adding confectioners’ sugar, shortening, vanilla, and 3 tablespoons tonic water into a large bowl. Beat on low speed until no loss sugar is visible. Add remaining two tablespoons as needed to bring frosting to piping consistency. Mix at high speed for about a minute to allow frosting to become light and fluffy. Place half of the white frosting into a separate bowl and set aside. Add neon food coloring to frosting until it reaches desired color {orange for orange gelatin, green for lime gelatin}.

Pipe colored frosting onto cooled cupcakes and place in the freezer for at least an hour. Meanwhile, pipe white frosting on half of the cupcakes using a large round frosting tip. Add two mini chocolate chip morsels for the ghost’s eyes to finish ghost cupcakes.

After lettering colored cupcakes freeze, prepare the gelatin by adding gelatin mix to 1 cup boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes then add 1 cup chilled tonic water. Transfer to a container that will let you easily dip frosting into and place into an ice bath to cool. Keep gelatin in ice bath stirring occasionally until gelatin is cool but not yet set {about 5 to 10 minutes}.

When gelatin is cool to the touch take cupcakes out of the freezer a couple at a time. Dip into gelatin upside down, submerging the frosting but not the cake {it is ok for the gelatin to drip onto the cupcake, just don’t submerge it completely}. Rotate cupcakes dipping and then returning to the freezer for about a minutes to set gelatin, then re-dip. Dip 4 to 6 times for best results.

Refrigerate until a couple of minutes before serving to keep gelatin set. Then place cupcakes under a black light and watch them glow in the dark!

The quinine in the tonic water causes it to glow under a black light.
