Halloween Treat Ideas

Life seems to go in sprits. This week has seemed like a week of Monday's and it's not over yet. On Tuesday morning I took my three kids on TV with me. While this wasn't their first time on TV, they were in their Halloween costumes this time. The costumes seemed to make the kids a bit more rambunctious before the show! Not to mention that we had to be at the Fox 6 studios by 7:20 to be ready for our 7:50 time slot. We were running a bit late, but I don't think you could tell when we went on the air.
Here is a link to the segment:
http://media.myfoxmilwaukee.com/seenon/index.html click on interviews, then click on Kids & Halloween Treats for the whole three minute segment.
All of the recipes can be found on the www.Milwaukeesfoodiemom.com website. Here is my fav the ghosts:Friendly Ghosts3 egg whites1/4 t cream of tartar3/4 cup superfine sugar1/4 t vanilla Preheat oven to 200 degrees. With an electric mixer, whip egg whites until they start to form peaks. Slowly blend in sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla. When the mixture holds stiff peaks, scoop into a plastic bag. Snip off one corner of the bag and use as a pastry bag to make small ghostlike shapes of meringue. Place in oven for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. Store in a tightly sealed container - unrefrigerated. Makes approximately one dozen ghosts. Use frosting to dot on eyes if desired.
If you’re looking for more ideas, be sure to watch The Morning Blend on Monday when Jared and I make some yummy pumpkin treats!
