Halloween Recipe - Black Cat Truffle Pops

My Halloween recipe contest entries.

This cutie pop was entered into Food52's Your Best Halloween treat contest. I created this cat pop from chocolate ganache and modeling chocolate.  It tastes as good as it looks.  Click here for recipe. Once again, I'll post this recipe soon if I don't make it into the finals.  If I do, I'll need votes!

You will see a theme going through my recipes this week: cats and monsters.  I thought the first two recipes looked so great as sweets that I transformed them into savory recipes for Better Homes and Garden's Better Recipes Halloween recipe contest. There is no voting involved with this contest, but I can't publish the recipe yet. So, click here to view recipe.

This charming cat is a yummy roasted red pepper cheese-ball. Click here for recipe. It is decorated with cream cheese and olives.  Even if you don't want to make a cat, this recipe is worth trying. It is delicious.

So you can see here how I transformed my Sweet Green Monster into a savory taco dip with a similar Frankenstein 's monster image. I decorated the image with green guacamole, olive hair, cheese and black olive eyes, a green olive nose, a tomato strip smile, and black olive bolts. A few simple changes and you have a completely different recipe.  Click here for recipes.

I'll let you know how I fare in each of these contests. Wish me luck!

Are you hosting a Movie Monster Munchies party this year?

Last year for our Movie Monster Munchies party I made delicious peanut butter bars topped with a black raspberry infused ganache.  To see the recipe for these Monster Brownies, click here and you'll be redirect to Hungry Happenings.com.

I found the cutest collection of Movie Monster themed party items from Oriental Trading Company. So if you decide to host a Movie Monster Munchies party and serve some of my fun themed recipes, you will love this collection.  It is cute not classic, but it fits the theme extremely well, especially if you are hosting a kids party.  They have everything from party ware, party favors, games, banners, and more. Click here to view the entire "Boo Bunch" collection.
My favorite item in the collection is and assortment of edible images you can put on cupcakes and cookies. They feature cute vampire, mummy, Frankenstein, and werewolf faces as well as jack-o-lanterns and witches. Click here to purchase"Boo Bunch" edible images.

This "Boo Bunch" party collection is so cute that I now want to have another movie monster themed party.  It will have to wait for another year, though.  This year our party theme is going to be the Carnival of the Creepy Crawlers and you can image what that entails. More on that later!
