Yummy Halloween Treats

Chocolate Eyeballs:

Ingredients

• 2 (11-ounce) bags white chocolate chips

• 12 doughnut holes

• Semisweet chocolate chips

• Tube of red decorator frosting

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. To coat a dozen doughnut holes, melt the white chocolate chips with the oil over low heat (and keep the chocolate warm while you work). With a fork, spear each doughnut hole and submerge it in the melted chocolate to coat it, and then gently tap off any excess.

2. Stick a semisweet chocolate chip with its point cut off onto each doughnut hole, cut end first. Place the forks (handle side down) in a mug and allow the chocolate coating to harden.

3. Use a tube of red decorator frosting to add squiggly veins radiating out from the pupils.

Cute Candy Corn Cobs:

Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons of butter

• 4 cups of mini marshmallows

• 5 cups of puffed corn cereal

• 1 1/3 cups diced dried fruit (we used raisins, papaya, cranberries, and apricots)

• Popsicle sticks

• Fruit leather

Instructions

1. In a large pot, melt butter and mini marshmallows over low heat (about 5 minutes).

2. Remove the mixture from the stove and use a wooden spoon to stir in puffed corn cereal and diced dried fruit. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.

3. Using buttered hands, shape each treat by pressing 1/3 cup of the mixture around a Popsicle stick. Add fruit leather husks to the bottom of the ear, slightly moistening them to help them stick if needed. Makes 15 treats.
