Host of Ghosts

10 Oreo cookies
1 package (3oz.) cream cheese
6 oz. white candy coating
1 T. shortening

· In a food processor, cover and process cookies until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Cut cream cheese into three pieces; add to food processor. Cover and process until mixture forms a soft dough.
· Using 2 teaspoons dough for each, form 26 ghost shapes. Place on waxed paper covered cookie sheet.
· In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth. Slowly spoon over each ghost shape to cover. Use a toothpick to create eyes. Store in the refrigerator.


Chocolate Marshmallow Ghost Cake

Makes three 6-inch layers or about 6 dozen mini cupcakes
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pans
2/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for pans
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 6-inch round cake pans. Dust with cocoa powder, and tap out excess; set aside. Alternatively, line six mini muffin tins with paper liners.
2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Mix in vanilla.
3. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Divide batter evenly among pans (about 2 cups batter per pan) or lined muffin cups (about 1 tablespoon batter per cup).
4. Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes for cake layers and 14 to 16 minutes for mini cupcakes. Let cool in pans or muffin tins on a wire rack. Decorate as desired.

Frosting
Makes enough for one 6-inch 3-layer cake
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
1. Put cream cheese and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Use immediately.

Candy Corn Cookies

1 pouch (1 lb. 1.5 oz.) Betty Crocker Sugar cookie mix
1/3 cup butter, melted

Orange paste food color
2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate melted, cooled (I use chocolate chips)

· Line 8x4-inch loaf pan with waxed paper, extending paper up over sides of pan. In medium bowl stir cookie mix, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms.
· On work surface, place ¾ cup dough. Knead desired amount of orange food color into dough until color is uniform. Press dough evenly in bottom of pan.
· Divide remaining dough in half. Gently press one half of remaining dough into pan on top of orange dough. On work surface, knead chocolate into remaining dough until color is uniform. Press over plain dough in pan, pressing gently to edge of pan. Refrigerate 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until firm.
· Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from pan. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Cut each slice into 5 wedges. On ungreased cookie sheet, place 1 inch apart.
· Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are set and edges are very light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely. Store in tightly covered container.
