| Goodies for Goblins - Big & Small |
Make some fun and festive treats this Halloween with your little goblins. But don't leave yourself out in the graveyard with nothing to munch. Here are some Halloween recipes that are not only for the kids. We've included some for hungry parents as well! FOR THE KIDS ----------------------- Marsh-Mummy Yummies 1 10-1/2 oz. bag of marshmallows 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine 5-6 large handfuls of potato chips, coarsely crushed Melt together marshmallows and butter or margarine over low heat, stirring occasionally. Pour mixture over crushed potato chips and stir until chips are thoroughly coated. Spread mixture into well-greased 8x8 pan. Refrigerate for at least one hour then cut into bars to serve. Or, shape into ghosts or pumpkins before refrigerating for fun individual treats. Pop O'Lanterns 1 bag caramel candies 4-5 cups popped popcorn Assorted nuts for garnish Melt caramels over low heat, stirring occasionally. Mix a little bit at a time with popcorn, until popcorn just sticks together. With well greased hands, shape into balls. Add assorted nuts for stem, eyes, nose, mouth, etc. to make your Pop O'Lantern! FOR THE PARENTS ------------------------------- Vampire-Away Garlic Dip Frighteningly good with ridged or regular potato chips. 1/2 cup skim milk 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese 2 small garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 2 tablespoons chopped chives 1/8 teaspoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon curry powder 1 teaspoon onion salt Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth.

Spoon into saucepan and cook over low to medium heat for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Add tomato and red pepper and cook an additional five minutes. Yields 1-1/2 cups. Midnight Delight Watch out! In the wee hours, this one will call you to the kitchen. 1-1/2 cups low-fat cream cheese 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 cup salsa 4 jalapeños, seeded and chopped Mix ingredients and serve with potato chips. Pumpkin Pleaser A cornucopia of flavors makes it a favorite for fall. 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, shredded and drained 1 tablespoon green onion, minced 1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/4 cup pumpkin rind, peeled and shredded 2 tablespoons celery, finely chopped Dash of salt and pepper Mix ingredients and scoop into hollowed-out pumpkin bowl.
