I had been talking to my cousin right before Halloween and saying how disappointed I was that I hadn't gotten into the holiday like I usually do....so to remedy that we decided to have a Halloween themed dinner. This is my haunted pumpkin patch: I made the pumpkins out of cake balls and the mummy's are cake pops. The hay stacks are just peanut butter rice krispy treats.
Cake Pops and Balls
1 box chocolate cake mix (or cake mix of your choice)
1 can cream cheese frosting
White, orange and green candy melt
Sucker sticks
Make cake according to package directions. Let cake cool. Mash the cake with ¾ can of
frosting. Roll the dough into balls and freeze for a couple of hours. Melt the candy melt
according to package directions. Dip the end of each stick in the candy melt and let sit in
freezer for 10 minutes. Push the stick up halfway through the frozen cake ball and dip cake ball
in melted candy melt. Put cake pops back in freezer as you dip them. After you have dipped
all the pops, decorate them. Put melted candy melt in a squeeze bottle (found in your
local grocery store) to make the mummy wrappings and attach the eyes. Enjoy!!!
I also contributed these little mummy wraps...they were cooler but I had thrown the worms on right before we left the house and the mummy's were still a little warm, so by the time we got there the mummy's were covered in puddles of goo...lovely. One is filled with PB&J and the other is filled with cheese and pepperoni. I have a bread braid addiction lately. Turns out you can fill them with pretty much anything and they are delicious!(The recipe can be found under main dishes and is called bread braids.)
Frieda made some awesome meatloaf mummys. I don't know how I didn't get more pictures of everything but the spread was impressive...and we had a great time.
