Bento for Halloween
Another version of a Halloween bento:
Note:
"This Bento I made sometime last October.
Inside :
Goyza, Carrot Sushi, Cucumber Rolls, mini egg rolls, Tamago, Chocolate Pumpkin and these Ains (sp?) cookies that are German or Swedish I forget but they are amazing!!!!!!!!!"
Yum!
Trick or Treat Bear Bento
Ooh - this one looks great right about now.
Photo note:
"Hard to see his wings and antenne but Mr bear is dressed up as a Bee for halloween.....Trick or Treat!!!!!"
Demon's Eyeballs
I love devilled eggs, and what a perfect addition to the Halloween party table?
This photographer notes:
"This version of devilled eggs is a Halloween tradition in my family!
Demons' Eyeballs
Hard-boil 12 eggs. Remove shells, rinse and dry. Slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in medium bowl. Use a pastry cutter to mash yolks well. Add Mustard and Miracle Whip in a 2-1 ratio to create a paste. Add drops of Tabasco to your heat comfort level, then a few more. Fill eggwhite halves with yolk mixture, rounding and smoothing top of each. Push a whole pimiento-stuffed green olive into the center of each yolk well, stuffed side up. Use a toothpick dipped into red food dye to draw tiny wiggly red lines on whites, to simulate capillaries.
Variation (shown): Add blue food dye to yolk mixture to make it a creepy green. Use black olive slices to create the eyeball effect, with a small piece of pimiento for the pupil. '

My Halloween Cheesecake
Photographer's note:
"Oreo cheesecake I made for Yahoo! Halloween baking contest.
Oreo cheesecake with chocolate spiderweb and marzipan spider. I made the eyes out of Hot Tamales candies.
My first time playing with Marzipan, man, it takes a lot of food coloring to make it black!"
Peanutty Halloween Cookie Pizza Recipe
This looks too good to pass up! To see more, click on the photo.
With a chocolate-chip cookie crust, peanut butter "sauce" layer, and peanut and candy toppings, this sweet pizza treat will have them scrambling for more!
INGREDIENTS
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup Halloween-colored candy-coated chocolate candies
1/2 cup dry-roasted peanuts
1/4 cup vanilla creamy ready-to-spread frosting (from 1-lb container)
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 12-inch pizza pan with foil; grease foil with shortening. Break cookie dough into 2-inch pieces; arrange evenly in pan. With floured fingers, press to form crust.
2. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3. Use foil to lift crust from pan. Carefully remove foil from crust; place crust on serving platter or tray. Spread peanut butter over crust. Sprinkle with chocolate candies and peanuts.
4. In small microwavable bowl, microwave frosting uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds or until thin enough to drizzle. Transfer to small resealable food-storage plastic bag. Cut small hole in 1 corner of bag; drizzle over cookie pizza. Cut into wedges or squares.
