Heres Looking At Boo Treats Recipes

HALLOWEEN POPCORN TREATS

Steps:

• Spray the inside of a large mixing bowl with vegetable cooking spray, and lightly spray a baking sheet. Set aside.
• In a 3 quart or larger, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the oil and popcorn over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and shake gently. Cook until all the kernels have popped, about 3 minutes. Place the popcorn in the prepared bowl.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the vanilla extract and marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Using a spatula, sprayed with cooking spray, stir until the popcorn is coated. Spread the mixture over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the chocolate bar pieces, cookies, almonds and chocolate candies. Using a spatula, gently press the toppings into the popcorn. Allow the mixture to dry for 1 hour.
• Break into 2-inch pieces and store airtight in a plastic container.
• Serving Suggestion: Place in small plastic bags and seal with colored ribbon.

HERE'S LOOKING AT BOO TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a straight-sided baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Cut each mini marshmallow in half through the equator. Push a mini chocolate chip, tip-side down, in the center of the cut side of each marshmallow.
• Place 2 candies, side-by-side, on each cracker; place on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the candies are just slightly softened, 2 minutes. Remove from the oven and press 1 marshmallow half, cut-side up, onto the top of each candy. Refrigerate until firm, 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

HALLOWEEN BOO-SCOTTI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a large sheet pan.
• Into a large bowl, sift together the sifted flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt. Transfer 1/2 cup of the mixture to a food processor. Add 1/3 cup of the toasted almonds to the food processor and pulse until fine and powdery, about 45 seconds. Return this mixture to the dry ingredients, stir in the whole almonds, and mix.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, Grand Marnier, zest, vanilla, and almond extract. Stir into the dry ingredients. The dough may seem dry, but it will moisten as you mix. Mix until smooth. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it a few times just to bring the dough together. Divide into 2 equal pieces. Wet your hands and use them to shape each piece of dough into a flattened log about 8 inches long by 3 inches wide and 1 inch high.
• Transfer the logs to the prepared pan, leaving at least 3 inches between the logs (they will spread during baking). Bake until light golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan after 15 minutes to ensure even baking.
• Let cool 15 minutes on the pan. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board. Wipe off the pan and butter it again.
• Using a serrated knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch-thick slices, discarding or snacking on the ends. Arrange the slices on the sheet pan cut-side up. Bake until toasted, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven off, prop the oven door open, and let cool completely in the oven.
• Meanwhile, in the top of a double boiler (or in a bowl) set over hot (not boiling or simmering) water; slowly melt the white chocolate, stirring often.
• Line a sheet pan with waxed or parchment paper and transfer the melted white chocolate to a small bowl. Dip 2 inches of the end of each cookie into the white chocolate and turn chocolate-side-up so that the chocolate drips unevenly down the cookie. The chocolate-covered end of the biscotti is its head; the uneven edge is the bottom edge of the ghost's "sheet." Lay them on the waxed paper as they are dipped.
• While the chocolate is still warm, decorate the chocolate covered ends with little ghost faces, using small candies, licorice, candy corn, chocolate chips, raisins, or sprinkles. If necessary, snip the candies to make them smaller. Sprinkle orange, yellow, or black sugar on the top edges of the biscotti for hair or all over the ghost's face. Let cool on wire racks until set. Store in an airtight container.
