Halloween is next Friday, October 31st. Whether you celebrate Halloween with costumes, decorations, parties, and treats or prefer a Harvest Celebration giving thanks for a bountiful year and an abundance of crops and beautiful fall colors, your family and friends will enjoy some special additions to your party menu.

This Yummy Mummy is so much fun to make and eat and will be the hit of your party!

Yummy Mummy Cheese Spread

2 port wine cheese logs or cheese logs of your choice (12 ounces each)
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon milk
2 whole peppercorns
pimiento strips or strips of fresh red bell pepper

Cut cheese logs into pieces for mummy’s head, body, arms and legs; arrange on a serving plate.

In small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and milk. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert basket weave tip #47. Pipe rows across the mummy, creating bandages. Add peppercorns for eyes and pimiento strips or red pepper strips for mouth and cuts.

Chill until serving. Yield: 1 mummy. Serve with crackers, bagel chips, or bagette slices.

Tip
If you can’t find cheese logs, make your favorite cheese ball recipe, shape into a log, and chill; then cut into pieces to form mummy.

Trick-or-Treat Cake
This fun Halloween cake looks like a giant trick-or-treat bag with lots of candy spilling out of it.

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix
2 cans (16 ounces each) vanilla frosting or homemade vanilla butter cream frosting
1 tube each black, orange and green decorating gel
Assorted candies

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Transfer the cake to a 20-in. x 17-in. covered board. Create a zigzag pattern on one short end of cake to resemble the top of a treat bag. Spread top and sides of cake with frosting; decorate, as desired, with gels and candies. Yield: 12 servings.

Tip
Line baking pan with parchment paper that extends over edges of pan to help removing baked cake from pan.

Spaghetti Worms for Brains
Most kids like spaghetti so these pasta-filled jack-o-lantern peppers will be a “brainy” treat.

8 to 10 medium sweet orange bell peppers
1 package (16 ounces) spaghetti
1 pound ground beef
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce

Cut tops off peppers and set aside; remove seeds and membranes. Cut a jack-o’-lantern face on one side of each pepper; set aside.

Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.

Drain spaghetti and add to beef. Stir in spaghetti sauce; heat through. Spoon into peppers; replace tops. Yield: 8-10 servings
