Happy Early Halloween

Well before i get to the halloween stuff I'm gonna tell you about what happened in gym today.In gym we've been playing basketball.So far my team {the defeters} have won all the games.So today i'm ready to play so we can make it 4 for 4.So we start the game and everything is going great.Then the ball hits the rim.Luckily for me i was right by the basket so i get the ball and i go to rebound it when tons of other peoplecome after me.We all get tangled and i fall.they kept playing and i was sitting there.I couldn't move some girl steps on so now i'm in even more pain.Finnaly someone yells "someones down." So they go me some ice and i put it on my knee.It took about 45 mins but i can finnaly bend my knee again.But when it was time to go get dressed it took a while to get my pants on.OWWWWWWW!!!!

Anyways about halloween.I'm going to have a halloween party next friday.I know its early but my friend allie thinks she might have a halloween party on halloween {or the day before cuz we have school}.Well I went online and got some recipes but I only want to make two or three things.So I want your guys opion.

Choco Lanterns
INGREDIENTS:
1 ct Cool Whip
2 lg pkg Jello chocolate pudding
12 mini pumpkins
green food coloring
PREPARATION:
Prepare jello pudding according to package directions. Chill until firm. Cut the tops off the pumpkins and remove most of the interior with a sharp knife. Then scoop to even out the inside. Draw faces with perminate marker on pumkins, you may need another pkg of pudding if your pumpkins run big.
Scoop pudding into pumkins until full. Mix Cool Whip and green food coloring and top pumpkins with a spoonful. Keep cool until ready to serve.


Squashed Frogs
INGREDIENTS:
1 Stick margarine
40 Large marshmallows (10 oz. bag)
5 Cups corn flakes cereal
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla (optional)
2 Teaspoons green food coloring
M&Ms. Plain Chocolate Candy
PREPARATION:
Melt margarine in large saucepan. Add marshmallows and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until melted and mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and food color. Mix. Add corn flakes and M&Ms and mix until well coated and bright green.
Drop from a tablespoon on a peice of wax paper and cool the globs.


CHOCOLATE COATED MARSHMALLOW MONSTERS
INGREDIENTS

Marshmallows
Chocolate Melts (your color choice) Black decorating gel
Stick marshmallows into a 4" lollipop sticks, and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes, until they are cold.
PREPARATION
While the marshmallows are chilling, heat one cup of chocolate melts, I used white this time, slowly on a simmering heat (Wilton's Candy Melts work great) in a double-boiler, stirring constantly until the chocolate is completely melted.
Remove the marshmallows from the freezer and dip them lightly in the melted chocolate for a thin coating. To get a Mummy look, swirl them a bit to look like layers of white wrapped around it. Ghosts should be dunked to make a little twisted peak on top. Frankenstein can be dunked and a spoon used to flatten the chocolate on top.
Use a block of Styrofoam to stick them in to cool. If you stick them in the fridge it shouldn't take long for them to set up.
After they harden, you can add faces. Using a small tube of black decorating gel, with a small tip, carefully paint on two ghostly eyes onto the marshmallow. Add a little mouth as well.
STORAGE & SERVING
Pick out the more mummy looking ones and turn them into the undead, like the picture below, last one on the right. You can stick these in sucker cellophane wraps to keep or just stick in your refrigerator but I don't that they'll be around for very long!!
TIP: Use green melts for Frankenstein, Orange for Jack-O-Lanterns, white for ghosts and mummies.
