GRAVEYARD GRUB - CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITH FRIGHTFUL FOOD
Creepy cuisine rules during Halloween. When else would you eat cookies that look like spiders or witch fingers, candies that look like eyeballs and graveyard-themed cakes?

We made Kitty Litter for our Halloween party last year at work for the girls. The article mentions a Kitty Litter Cake. I've seen it done as a cake before, but they loved our kitty litter. All we did was go out and buy a brand new kitty litter box, and we mixed grape nuts cereal with powdered sugar. We got tootsie roles and kinda mushed them all up and together to make it look like kitty poop, and mixed it in. The girls loved it!
That sounds quite good, except that I need to avoid the sugar, and don't particularly like Grape Nuts!
My favorite is "dirt pie", made in a bucket, with little headstones on top, and gummi worms "crawling" out of the dirt. Mix some chocolate pudding with Cool Whip, fill up the bucket with the mixture. Then cover it all with crumbled Oreos, and stick the worms and headstone into the mixture.
Fun, and very, very tasty!
Okay, I know this is basic BUT I figured if after five kids I had never got around to doing it yet, maybe there are others!
TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
INGREDIENTS
2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or use Pam/spray to make it lighter)
1 tablespoon salt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Spread the pumpkin seeds on a medium baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with salt.
Bake 45 minutes in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted.
Bet you can't guess what our family is doing tonight? :help:
****Update--
Ours turned out good but we didn't cook them as long--probably only 30-35 minutes--luckily I started to smell them and took them out.
