Halloween Candy Monster Kabobs

Kebab. Kabab. Kabob. I know what is technically right and I know the original, but no matter how I end up spelling it, it always requires a trip to Google to double check….and at least one person correcting the spelling regardless, so meh. Take ‘em all! :P

I love these, uh, skewered candy treats. I don’t recommend them for handing out to trick-or-treaters because the candy is all unwrapped…and well, skewers are dangerous, pfft. :P

They’re perfect for a party, though, don’t you think? I really think they would work for an adult or kid party either one and people would get a huge kick out of them. I’m not sure how much time they take to put together, but assuming all the candy is unwrapped to begin with (have the kids do it, hehe), I doubt it’d take much to assemble them.

The best part is that there’s no specific recipe or ingredient list to follow either. You could use any candy that you can get your hands on and put them together in any combination. It kinda makes me think of Monsters Inc with all the different funky monsters.

Mexican Frankenstein Casserole – Why settle for boring?

Frankenstein casserole with veggies for face; Homemade tortilla chips for dipping into black bean dipping and monster face for Halloween

That?

That is a casserole.

A plain ol’, boring casserole, that I’m sure tasted perfectly lovely. It was completely edible and might have gotten an “oo” or an “ah” or maybe even an “mmm” a few times through the meal.

But it’s nothing special.

Add some of these, though? Some completely innocent veggies that don’t really mean anything on their own?

And you get something way more fabulous:

THAT is what will be remembered. It doesn’t matter if maybe it could’ve used a bit more cheese or maybe the corn had been in the freeze just a little too long and lacked flavor. It was an edible monster! And with Halloween right around the corner, you really have no excuse not to have some fun with your own.

It actually had different teeth to begin with. I tried making separate teeth and it looked ridiculous. Then again, I’m not sure it looked much better after the modification, but I thought it helped.

And even Mom got in on the action with some monster nose-picking.

Yes, I come from a very, very mature family. I’m obviously breaking my mother’s heart here by playing with my food so much. :P

What does snake taste like?

It tastes like cake:

I’m pretty sure this counts as the most realistic cake I’ve seen. We’ve seen a lot of lookalikes, but it’s usually pretty obvious that it’s not “the real thing.” In this case, it’s pretty freakin’ close, don’t you think?

(And thanks for passing this my way, Dave. :D)
