Halloween Foods

It’s October 20th and Halloween is coming up. Are you having trouble coming up with ideas to make your party look a bit more exciting and really in the spirit? Well today I’m going to talk to you about wonderful ideas for decorative Halloween foods. Have fun, eat, drink and be scary!
Bat Wings with Dip and Sinking Hands
Ingredients
• Cooking spray
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce, or more, to taste
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 20 chicken wings
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
• 1 (11-ounce) package refrigerated breadstick dough
• 1 egg white
• Sliced almonds
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves
• 2 tablespoons coarse ground mustard
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish or plastic bag, combine soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, hot sauce, salt and black pepper, to taste. Mix well. Add chicken wings and chicken breasts and turn to coat.
Transfer chicken wings and breasts to baking sheets and brush with marinade. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
To make the "hands", reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Unroll dough and separate into 12 breadsticks. Roll into 4-inch long "fingers" and place on baking sheet. Brush egg white all over breadsticks and place almond slice on 1 end, making a fingernail. Sprinkle Parmesan over rest of breadstick. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
To make the dip, in a medium bowl, combine sour cream, parsley and mustard. Mix well. Place dip in a serving bowl and insert fingers. Serve the wings with the dip and "hands" and reserve the chicken breasts for the salad.
To serve, you will need a serving tray, and a bowl. Organize the chicken wings around the bowl on the tray as bat wings. Once you add the dip to the bowl stick the fingers in the dip (they will stand) in a way that makes them look like a sinking hand.
Now if you’re looking for a desert, I have the easiest and best idea you could possibly think off. Well all you have to do is get a normal chocolate cake put it in a tray and mash it up. Add some chunks of chocolate on top and you’re done! Now you’re probably wondering what this is. You’ve just made yourself a cat litter box. Now it all comes together. This is a perfect desert. It’s nasty and quite horrifying if you think about it, but it will taste delicious.
