Halloween Treats

Floating Ice-Cube Hands Spider Web Cake Figure A Gummy Worms Apple

Barbara Nowak, author of Cook It Right! The Comprehensive Source for Substitutions, Equivalents and Cooking Tips, shows how to create some simple and scary Halloween treats. She introduces a variety of fun treats, including a spider-web cake, "floating hands," and red-hot apples topped with gummy worms.

Floating Ice-Cube Hands

Pour water into a pair of surgical gloves, secure with a rubber band and freeze. Remove the gloves and place the frozen hands in a bowl of Halloween punch.

Spider-Web Cake

Bake a one-layer cake and decorate with white icing. Decorate with chocolate sauce, creating a web design (circle around the edge of the cake). Take a wooden skewer and to create the web (figure A). To make the spider, take a doughnut hole and pierce with four pipe cleaner stems (spiders have eight legs) and thread through the doughnut and fold (see photo of the finished cake).

Gummy Worms Apple

Core an apple fill with candy corn and red-hot candies. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Place a few gummy worms in the middle and let cool. Serve.
