Severed Fingers
Ingredients
Refrigerated pizza dough
Mozzarella cheese sticks
Whole salted almonds
Parmesan cheese
Marinara sauce
Roll pizza dough out and cut into 2” wide strips. Enough to come together to fit around your cheese stick.
Brush a liberal amount of marinara sauce on the top side.
Place cheese stick in middle of each dough strip and bring dough together to form a finger.
Place seam side down on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure and spray some Pam on your parchment paper to prevent your dough from sticking.
Press almond at the end so as to look like a fingernail.
Spray each finger with a little more Pam and cut three small lines in middle to look like knuckles and sprinkle each one with some fresh Parmesan cheese.
Bake as directed until golden brown. Serve with a side of marinara “blood” for dipping.
Dusty Bones
Ingredients
Cream cheese cinnamon roll dough
Powdered sugar
Red food coloring
Unroll cinnamon roll dough. Cut each strip in half and tie a knot at each end to resemble a bone.
Bake at recommended temperature but reduce the time so the rolled out dough stays moist and doesn’t dry out. Let cool.
Roll bones in powdered sugar to make white.
Take your cream cheese frosting and place in small bowl. Add a few drops of red food coloring until the frosting resembles blood. Serve on the side for dipping.
Rack of Human Rib
Ingredients
2-4 packs of bagged pre-seasoned ribs
Bake ribs in bag as directed.
Place on large cutting board in the shape of a human rib cage.
Put a fake heart or you can use a small red pepper.
Stab with a large butcher knife for an added gruesome effect.
Serve with a side of your favorite bbq sauce.
Icky Intestines
Ingredients
Pound ground beef
1 can sloppy joe sauce
1 can corn (drained)
Refrigerated pizza dough
Parmesan cheese
1 egg white
Brown hamburger. Add can of corn and can of sloppy joe mix. Set aside.
Roll pizza dough out and cut into 2” strips. Place a small strip of your meat mixture on each strip of dough then roll up.
Use a small amount of egg white to seal seam. Place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Arrange each section of rolled dough in the shape of intestines and seal ends together with egg whites so they look like one long piece.
Brush with melted butter or spray with some Pam. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake as directed on package or until golden brown.
Severed Toes
Ingredients
1 package bacon
1 package little smokies
Brown sugar
Cut uncooked bacon into 2” strips. Wrap around little smokies.
Pearce with toothpick so bacon doesn’t unravel during baking. Leave tip of little smokie out as to look like a severed bandaged toe.
Roll in brown auger to coat.
Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes.
Puking Pumpkin Dip
Ingredients
8 oz block cream cheese
Jar jalapeño jelly
Pita chips
Small pumpkin
Carve you small pumpkin with your best puking face. Have fun with it!
Place a block of cream cheese on a platter and cover with the jalapeño jelly.
Arrange pita chips around jellied cream cheese.
Serve in front of pumpkin so it looks like it puked up the cream cheese.
Urine Samples
Ingredients
Tequila
Your favorite margarita mix
Tonic water
Pretty self-explanatory. I use a slash of tonic water for effect as it has no flavor but glows under black lights.
I found my urine sample cups on Amazon and the little tray I picked up at a thrift store.
Zombie Virus
Ingredients
Cranberry juice
Vodka
Tapioca pudding pearls
Boil the tapioca pudding pearls as directed on package.
Using a piping bag put pearls in the bottom of each vial.
Mix together your cranberry vodka mixture and fill vial.
I found my specimen vials and rack on Amazon.
Eerie Eyeballs
Ingredients
White chocolate almond bark
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup butter softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
Red food gel
Spooky edible eye candy toppers
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
Mix peanut butter, butter and vanilla together in a large bowl.
Slowly add one cup of powdered sugar to the creamy mixture, mixing well each time. By the time you get to the third cup of powdered sugar, the mixture will become very difficult to stir with a spoon. Take your rings off and start mixing with your hands.
Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated into the peanut butter mixture, you can start making your balls. Simply pinch off a small amount and roll between your hands to form a small ball.
Place the peanut butter balls on the prepared cookie sheet with waxed paper.
Once you have made all of your balls, melt your chocolate. One at a time, drop your peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Lift the ball out of the chocolate with a fork and then transfer it to the waxed paper.
I found my Edible Eyeball Candy on Amazon.
Spooky Spirits
Ingredients
Lemonade mix
Tonic water
I found my Skull Dispenser on Amazon.

1 pack of cheese dogs
1 tube crescent roll dough
Spooky edible eye candy toppers
Ketchup
Roll out crescent dough. Press together perforations and cut into 1/4" strips. Wrap cheese dogs with you crescent dough.

Bake at 375 for 13-17 minutes.
Put a dab of ketchup and place your candy eyeballs
Kitty Litter Cake I Dump Cake
I'll never forget the first time I made this kitty litter cake for my annual Halloween Party. It was a huge hit! So much fun to make and the gross out factor is off the chain!
Ingredients
1 - 18.25 oz. box German chocolate cake mix
1 - 18.25 oz. box white cake mix
2 - 3.5 oz. box vanillas pudding mix
1 - 12 oz. package vanilla sandwich cookies
3 drops green food coloring
1 - 12 oz. package tootsie rolls
Prepare cake mixes and bake according to package directions.
Prepare pudding according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble.
Crumble sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup add a few drops of green food coloring and mix.
When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Add cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding and stir. You probably won't need all of the pudding. You want your cake to be moist, not soggy. Poor into new kitty little box.
Place your tootsie rolls into a microwave safe bowl and heat until softened. Shape to make look like kitty poo and place on top of your cake. Sprinkle your cookie crumbs on top and place more tootsie rolls. Now sprinkle your 1/4 cup colored cooking crumbs around your tootsie rolls (kitty poo). Just be creative! This is the fun part after all. Drape some over the edge to give the appearance that Mr. Kitty missed the box.
Serve with a new kitty scooper for the full grossed out affect.
Best place to purchase your litter box and scoop is on Amazon. They’re super cheap and won’t break your budget.
Sinister Shots I Jello Shot Syringes
These are always fun and a huge hit at all parties. I did a simple vodka lemonade recipe with a splash of tonic water but you can use whatever drink recipe you'd like. Vodka cranberry is another fun one and it gives the appearance of blood. I use tonic water in pretty much everything because it glows under the black light which gives that real creepy affect.
Ingredients
Vodka
Lemonade
1 large box Lemon flavored Jello
Tonic Water
You can purchase the syringe shooters on Amazon.
