Ok, somehow I got wrangled into baking for both the bake sale at my
daughter's school Halloween carnival and their class party. (Not to mention
a cake for the cake walk! lol) For the bake sale, I usually do mini pumpkin
cakes...last year I did chocolate and carrot cake (separate, not together).
I also do some spider cookies, which are just chocolate cookies, with
licorice legs and red hots for eyes, because the kids love them. I want to
do something different for the class party though, so I'm looking for ideas.
I have to make them a day ahead, because I'll be at the doctor's office all
morning the day of the party, which doesn't leave me any time to bake that
day...so something that will be okay being made ahead is appreciated. Any
ideas?

Thanks!

Dirt pudding! Individual cups, or not - it's crushed oreo cookies,
chocolate pudding, and gummy worms. You can do a non-chocolate version
with vanilla pudding and vanilla wafers.

Or, Cat-box cake. I don't have a recipe for that - you will need to do
a search for that one, or have someone else post it, but it's funny.
Gross-looking, but funny.

Dirt pudding, for what it's worth, works exceptionally well in a sand
bucket (the kind you get for use at the beach for kids) that's not been
used - if it's for the class, you could do a couple of buckets' worth,
and serve up from there.

It's actually very easy to make - the only issue in your case would be
storage.

Finally, last but not least, I might do cat cakes, which are cupcakes,
frosted in black icing (food coloring) to which you add eyes (green
M&Ms) and licorice whiskers, with a candy-corn nose, and ears that are
non-edible - tin foil, or something like that.

This year for our annual pumpkin bash my daughters and I baked a huge
sugar cookie man, frosted him and decorated him with candy corn, and, at
my 10-year-olds insistence, chopped his head off and put it in his hand.
He looked like Mr. Bill from SNL.

It was a little frightening the way the kids tore into him...

"Any ideas?"

I don't do Halloween, but we do celebrate the Harvest season at church,
similar to the Jewish observance of Sucooth. (Well, without the booths!)
I created these last night, getting ideas from several different recipes
I had looked at. They're pretty fast and easy to make, taste great, and
the candy corn gives them a festive look:

Chocolate Harvest Bars

1 box of chocolate cake mix
1 large egg
1 stick of butter of margerine, softened

Mix these ingredients until crumbly, then press into a greased 10" X 15"
pan. (Because of the marshmallow, I suggest lining the pan with
aluminum foil, and greasing that, for easy cleanup.)

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.

Remove the pan, and sprinkle a layer of mini marshmallows evenly over
the top - you'll need about 1/2 bag.

Put the pan back in the oven, just a couple of minutes, until the
marshmallows puff up.

Meanwhile, mix togther 2 cups of nuts, 2 cups of Rice Krispies, and 1
cup of candy corn.

In a large saucepan, bring 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup of brown sugar
and 1/4 cup of white sugar to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of peanut butter and 2 tsp. of vanilla;
mix until smooth and creamy. Combine this mixture with the candy/nut
mixture, tossing to coat the candy and nuts evenly, and spoon it over
the marshmallow layer - you'll have to work pretty fast, as the corn
syrup mixture will start to set up quickly.

Let cool, then cut into bars.

I"m thinking that these could be adapted to any holiday, using jelly
beans for Easter, candy hearts for Valentine's Day, etc. In fact, as I
type this, I'm thinking that maple might be nice instead of the
vanilla.... )

Oh, for Heaven's sake. How ridiculous. Hallowe'en has absolutely *jack* to
do with religion.

Aren't you the one who just posted some spam, and then answered yourself?

Don't bother with a reply. I've just killfiled you.

Shalom. Oh, and get a Saviour.

Not according to the evangelicals... including evangelical
catholics. We had kids at school who weren't allowed to
participate in Halloween festivities because of their
religion. One even said it was because she was "catholic".

They all believe it's the devil's birthday.

It's weird to me and just plain ignorant, but that's what
they believe. There is no critical thinking or independent
thought needed for such a belief - only the willingness to
follow the dictates of others.
