I have been going all out this year! So today we are gonna be making some DIY

Halloween Themed and Spooky Treats! So let’s get started!

The first thing that we’re gonna be making are these simple and delicious

Candy Corn Cookies. And even if you aren’t the biggest fan of candy corn,

I would give these cookies a try, they’re really good!

The things you will need, will be: 2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of brown sugar,

1 cup of white chocolate chips, a bunch of candy corn, 2 tablespoons of

cream, 1 stick of unsalted butter, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of sugar, a tablespoon of

vanilla extract, a teaspoon of baking soda, a pinch of salt, 2 teaspoons

of corn starch and a cookie scoop!

The first thing that we’re gonna do in a big mixing bowl, we are gonna cream

our butter. Mix it together until it’s light and fluffy.

Now you’re gonna pour in the regular sugar and your brown sugar, and then

we’re gonna cream it together!

Now we’re gonna add one egg, the whole egg, and our vanilla.

Give it another mix!

Now we’re gonna add our dry ingredients, we’re gonna add the flower,

corn starch, a pinch of salt, baking soda!

Now we’re gonna mix it up one last time until it’s evenly combined and

we’re gonna slowly add our cream while we’re mixing.

Lastly we’re gonna add our white chocolate chips to the mixture, and, you can

mix these together with a spatula, or I’m gonna do a really quick mix

with the hand mixer.

Now that we’ve got our dough we’re gonna scoop it out and place it on our pan,

I’ve lined it with a piece of parchment paper so that it doesn’t stick.

So you just take your little scoop like this and go doo-doo!

We’ve got all of our cookies scooped into the pan and now we’re gonna

cover them with saran wrap, and pop ‘em in the fridge for about 2 hours.

Once the cookie dough balls have chilled, I like to transfer them to another

baking sheet lined with parchment paper to bake. I like to bake 6 at a time, so I’m gonna take 6 little

balls, transfer them over, leave a couple inches in between each one of them

because they will expand. And, with your palm, press down flat.

And, don’t worry about the Candy Corn, I have not forgotten!

What we’re gonna do is we're gonna pop our cookies into the oven at 350 degrees, bake for about

6 minutes and be careful because the baking sheet is still super hot!

What we’re gonna do now is place a few candy corns right on top, near the middle,

try not to have them hanging over the sides because they will melt!

Once we have all our Candy Corn in the cookies we’re gonna pop these

back in the oven for 4 minutes. Then take your cookies out of the oven,

give them plenty of time to cool on the pan and then place them onto

a display plate! Or take a bite for yourself!

Mmmmmmm! Mmmm-mmmm-mmmmm-mmmm!

The next thing that we’re gonna be making is this Jack-O-Lantern Bean Dip!

I love making chip dips for parties, because it’s just a fun appetizer that everybody

can enjoy! The things you will need will be: A bag of blue corn tortilla chips,

1 packet of taco seasoning, 1 can of refried black beans, 1 can of black beans,

1 stick of cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of

sour cream, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce, I’m using Crystal Louisiana because

that’s my favorite. 1/4 cup of chopped green onions, some olives and

1 tablespoon of diced, pickled jalapeños!

The first thing that we’re gonna do, is in a big mixing bowl, we’re gonna

add our cream cheese, sour cream, our taco seasoning, our jalapeños,

hot sauce, oh I love you! Green onion, and our beans!

Now take your hand mixer and we’re gonna mix our dip together until

everything is evenly combined.

Boom! Delicious!

Now that we got our chip dip all mixed up, we are gonna pour it into our

serving dish, I’m just using a pie pan, I like this white one I had

lying around, I thought this would be really cute!

Now I’m gonna completely cover it with a layer of cheese, it’s gonna be our

top layer! I’m using Cheddar Cheese, because when it melts that nice orange

color is gonna look just like a pumpkin.

Once you’ve got your layer of cheese on top we’re gonna pop it in the oven

at 350 degrees and bake it for 20 minutes.

Dips in the oven and over here I’ve got some olives, a small cutting board

and a knife. And you’re just gonna cut them into slices like this, for some little details, you won’t

need too many of ‘em. We’re gonna use them to make the Jack-O-Lantern’s mouth.

Our dip’s fresh out of the oven, it’s baked! And now it’s time to decorate!

Take your chips, and you’re gonna look for the flattest chip you can.

Like he’s a good one, this one not so good!

So these ones, I can have a snack. Oh!

Then we’re gonna stick ‘em on here, to make a little face!

Then for the nose, you're gonna take another chip, and I'm just gonna break off the

end, so it’s a little bit smaller, and that is gonna be his nose!

Now we’re gonna use those olives we sliced earlier to make his little mouth.

I just like to go up and down, up and down, up and down!

And there you have it! A Jack-O-Lantern Bean Dip!

The next treat that we’re gonna be making are

Mini Peanut Covered Caramel Apples.

The things you will need, will be: 1-11 Ounce bag of caramels, a rolling pin,

peanuts, some apples, I’m using some granny smiths. Some mini cupcake liners, I

found these cute little polka dot ones at a local bake store, a small cookie scoop, or a

melon baller, a plastic zip-top bag, and some wooden skewers.

The first thing that we’re gonna do is crush up our peanuts.

So we take the peanuts, pour them in our plastic baggie, then you’re gonna

take your rolling pin and roll over the top, to crush ‘em up!

Next we’re gonna scoop our apples to make little apple balls, this is very

similar to melon balls if you guys have ever done that.

So you take your little scoop, and your apples, got some apples over here,

and you just scoop it in there, get a little ball! And then bewp! Oh!

Just gonna pat it dry with a paper towel to absorb some of the moisture,

and put it right here, boop!

Once you have as many apple balls as you want, we’re gonna put them into the fridge

and then we’re gonna melt our caramel! Or caramel?

Caramel, caramel! Tomato-Tomato!

I just melted the caramel, you can do this over the stove or in the microwave,

whatever you’d prefer. And now we’re gonna skew, dip and roll!

This is very easy, you're gonna take the little wooden skewer, and skew one of

these cute little apple balls, then you’re gonna dip into the caramel,

let it completely cover. Then bring it up, let the excess caramel drip off.

Now you’re just gonna place it in the middle of the peanuts and roll it around!

I’ve lined the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and sprayed it with

a little bit of cooking spray, so that the caramel won’t stick.

Huhhh! Oh my gah! So good!

We’ve got all our little apples assembled and now I’m gonna pop ‘em

in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set.

Da-dew! Here are the candy apples that we made! As a final touch I put

them in these mini cupcake liners after they were done chilling in the

fridge, and then I just lined ‘em all up on a cute little serving tray!

Now onto our last treat, which happens to be a Halloween Themed drink.

Wah-wah-wah-wah-wah-wah!

Next we are gonna be making Monster Mud Slides!

For these drinks we’re gonna be making 2 different versions, 1 non-alcoholic,

and the other one spirited. For the spirited version, the things

you will need, will be: 3 ounces of Vodka, 3 ounces of Bailey’s Irish Cream,

3 ounces of Kahlua Coffee Liqeur, and 3 ounces of milk.

And then for the non alcoholic version, you’re gonna need 1 cup of milk,

2 big scoops of vanilla ice cream, 3/4 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of

chocolate syrup, and, 1/4 cup of cold coffee.

And then to decorate both of these drinks, you will need: Some Reese’s Pieces

candy, Cool Whip, and some fun straws!

First we’re gonna make the spirited version of our Monster Mud Slide.

Over here I’ve got a blender and we’re gonna add 2 cups of ice into our blender.

And then we’re gonna pour in 3 ounces of each liquid here into our blender.

OK, so it’s gonna be two of these, because each one’s a ounce and uh, oh.

Oh geez! I am not a bartender, I am not a bartender! Oh my!

Ooooh! Feel the spirit! Oooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! That’s something isn’t it? OK.

We got all of our ingredients in here, we’re just gonna pop it on the

top, we’ve got your lid on, now blend it up!

Our drinks all mixed up now, so I’m gonna take it off of here.

And you’re gonna take your chocolate syrup, and you’re gonna line your

glasses with a little bit of chocolate syrup, this is very, very easy, you just

tilt it, like this, and then squeeze and rotate around.

Boop-boop-ba-doop!

Oooh! It just drips down, like a mud slide!

I let the glasses sit for about 20 seconds to let the chocolate drip down the

cup, and now we’re gonna fill ‘em up!

Oooooh! Yummy yummy! Now we are gonna set these off to the side and

we are gonna make our non-alcoholic version, and then we’ll decorate!

Now we’re gonna make our non-alcoholic Monster Mud Slide!

The first thing we’re gonna do is we're gonna scoop 2 big scoops of ice cream into

our blender. I’m a firm believer in big scoops of ice cream.

So if you get a little extra, that’s OK!

And then add your milk, your heavy cream. Ooooh! One of my favorites, coffee!

And chocolate syrup!

Look at this, doesn’t it look like emo Frankenstein Monster?

You just don’t understand Dad!

And let ‘er rip!

We’re all done mixing our mudslide, and, I just lined the glasses with

chocolate like I did before. Now let’s fill ‘em up!

Time to decorate, this is my favorite part!

Over here I have a little plastic baggie with a coupler at the end for

more control. This is totally optional, you don’t need to do this.

And then over here I have the frozen whipped cream, really important,

you want to use the frozen stuff so it will hold shape.

So I’m just scooping it, woop! Into my little plastic baggie, over here, and then on the

top we’re gonna pipe, it looks like a ghost monster.

Alright, here we go, you go all the way around, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!

Fill in the middle! Make the ghost! Boop!

And then we’re gonna put a little Reese’s Pieces in the front for his mouth,

and you can pick any eye color you want, I’m gonna do yellow.

And a little straw, boop!

Ta-da!
