Spooky Halloween Treats!

Halloween is one of our favorite times of year, and in the past we have always done a special image to celebrate the spooky season, this year we had so much fun working on other projects that we ran out of time. Nevertheless we still wanted to do something fun and festive so instead of a CG image our team decided to do a Halloween bake-off. Let us know which one is your favorite!   Alison’s Halloween Fudge:     Chocolate layer: 1 ½ cups dark chocolate chips ½ can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons marshmallow cream 8 Halloween Oreo cookies broken into chunks White layer: 1 ½ cups white baking chips ½ can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon butter 2 tablespoons marshmallow cream Sprinkles Edible candy eyeballs Candy corn   Go to the store to get your ingredients (plan extra time as you will go to two different grocery stores and eventually end up at Hobby Lobby buying expensive sprinkles, because the grocery stores won’t have any related to Halloween. Reward yourself with a latte from Starbucks after finally finding your sprinkles. Pull out a saucepan and an 8x8 baking dish. Open all your ingredients and begin snacking on the candy corn… this will last the entire time you’re cooking. Combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter in your saucepan over low heat, then turn it up to medium when you’re tired of waiting. Stir until melted and creamy. Add the marshmallow cream and then stir again. Fold in the Oreo cookie chunks gently. Pour into foil lined baking dish. Set aside. Combine the white chips, sweetened condensed milk and butter in another saucepan over low or medium heat, whatever you’re feeling. Stir until melted and creamy. Stir in the marshmallow cream and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Stir in sprinkles, it doesn’t matter how many because it’s Halloween and we can have all the treats we want. Pour over the chocolate layer. Top it all off with candy corn, eyeballs and anything else you can think of. Schedule a dentist appointment because you ate all the candy corn and this...
