Get Ready to Haunt...
As I have another 'date' with the residents of Diamond Jane's this friday, I 've been mulling over presentation ideas. Of course, it should be something to celebrate the October holiday.
Here is fun recipe for Mummy Dogs I found that I know many spooks could love!
Another fun recipe (and a fav of mine) is Pumpkin cheesecake. Check it out!

What I have chosen to do is a lollipop made from Jello! Here is the recipe:
CHERRY LOLLIPOPS
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 stick real butter
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 (3-ounce) box cherry gelatin dessert
Nonstick vegetable cooking spray.
20 lollipop sticks
Butter or spray nonstick vegetable cooking spray onto parchment lined cookie sheets (and inside the measuring cup you are planning to measure the corn syrup in). Arrange half of the lollipop sticks on each and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium heat add sugar, butter and corn syrup together until sugar has dissolved. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Insert a candy thermometer into syrup and continue cooking until temperature reaches 300 degrees F. Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin until smooth. Remember, this sugar syrup is very hot and can cause a painful burn! Using a metal tablespoon and working quickly, drop heaping spoonfuls of lollipop syrup on end of each lollipop stick. Cool completely. Wrap each sucker in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container.
With mine, I found a pan made by Wilton that I will use to mold the suckers.
After the suckers set, I plan to decorate with Royal Icing that sets up hard in a variety of colors.
