Forked Eyeballs

This Halloween, treat your friends and family to a sweet surprise inspired by Disney’s FamilyFun Magazine. This easy recipe is perfect for cooks of all levels, as it requires minimal effort but yields impressive results. To make these festive treats, you’ll need two 11-ounce bags of white chocolate chips, 12 doughnut holes, semisweet chocolate chips, and a tube of red decorator frosting.

Begin by melting the white chocolate chips over low heat.

Then, use a fork to coat each doughnut hole with the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess. Once coated, place a semisweet chocolate chip in the center of each doughnut.

Next, place the forks holding the doughnuts into a mug, resting them so that the chocolate coating can cool and harden. Finally, use the red decorator frosting to add veins radiating out from the pupils of each ‘eye’, giving your treats a playful touch.

Blood and Guts Potatoes

For a crowd-pleasing treat that’s sure to delight kids of all ages, Nigella Lawson’s simple yet indulgent recipe from The Food Network is a must-try. Who can resist the allure of cheese and potatoes? This delightful dish requires just a few ingredients: four baking potatoes, three balls of fresh mozzarella, diced into bite-sized pieces, and two tablespoons of tomato ketchup – plus more for decoration. To get started, preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Next, prick each potato with a fork and place them directly on the oven rack. Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on their size. Once they’re done, remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool. Then, slice each potato in half lengthwise and scoop out the fluffy insides into a bowl. Set the skins aside. In a separate bowl, combine the diced mozzarella and potato flesh, adding in the two tablespoons of ketchup. Spoon this creamy mixture back into the potato skins.

Finally, place the filled potatoes on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with additional ketchup – aim for a gory, blood-dripping effect! Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are warmed through.
