Halloween Get Together Recipes – Crawly Creatures and Funny Face Seven Layer Dip

These chocolate bundles are one of my favorite no bake cookies. Turn them into creepy bugs for Halloween by adding two m and m’s for eyes!

1 12 oz/340g bag of chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
1 package crispy Chinese noodles
Bag of M and M Candy

Pour chocolate or butterscotch chips in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave for a few seconds. Stir until smooth. Or place bowl of chips over a pan of very warm water (not boiling) for a few seconds. Stir until melted and smooth.

Blend in the crispy Chinese noodles and spoon onto a cookie sheet. Add the m and m candy for eyes and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Are you invited to a Halloween get together and can’t decide what to take? How about a Seven-Layer Dip with a funny or jack-o-lantern face! Sprinkle top of the dip with shredded cheese and use vegetables to form a face. Serve with corn chip scoops or tortilla chips.
