Salsa Cheddar Dip With Witches Hats Recipes

WITCHES' BROOMS

Steps:

• Cut each piece of string cheese in half so you have 2 shorter sticks. Working one at a time, make 4 cuts vertically in one end of the cheese sticks, stopping about 3/4 inch from the top. Roll the cheese so the cuts are not parallel to the cutting board, and make 2 or 3 more cuts to form the bristles of the broom. Press a pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese stick to make the handle. Tie a chive in the middle of top (uncut) end of the cheese stick; this holds the broom head together. Repeat for the remaining brooms.
• Spread the mustard haphazardly on the bottom of a black or white plate. Stand the brooms up on their bristles as if they are sweeping up the mustard.

CREAM CHEESE SALSA DIP

Steps:

• Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out on your counter for 30 minutes. You need to do this so that it blends well with the sour cream. To a medium bowl add the softened cream cheese and the 8oz of sour cream. Using a handheld mixer, blend until smooth. It's OK if there are a few lumps, but you do want it to be mostly smooth. You can also use a stand mixer to do this if you have one.
• To assemble, spoon the cream cheese sour cream blend into your serving dish and spread to cover the entire bottom. Whatever dish you use, you want it to have an edge higher than the dip, like the pie plate in the photo. This will make sure as the liquid from the salsa separates it doesn't run right off of a platter onto your table. Next, pour the entire jar of salsa over top and smooth to cover the cream cheese sour cream blend. Next, cover the salsa with all of the shredded Cheddar cheese. Lastly, sprinkle with the diced onions. Serve with your favorite chips and enjoy!

WITCHES FINGERS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the water, butter, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until the butter and sugar melts. Remove pan from the heat and sift the flour into the pan. Stir the dough together with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and stir constantly until pulls away from the sides of the pan and is slightly shiny, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a medium bowl, and beat until cooled, about 2 minutes. Add the cayenne, and whole eggs, 1 at a time, incorporating each 1 thoroughly before adding the next. Mix in the mustard and cheese.
• Put 1/4-inch plain tip in a pastry bag, and spoon the dough into the bag. Pipe 3 1/2-inch long thin finger-like shapes onto prepared pans. Beat the egg yolk with a tablespoon of water and dab or brush the tops of each witches' finger with it. Lay an almond on the end of each witches finger so that it looks like a nail, sprinkle fingers with kosher salt.
• Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F. Continue baking until the fingers are golden brown and slightly crisp, about 5 minutes more. Cool on a rack.
