How to Create a Pampered Chef Halloween-Themed Feast?

[DebPC]

Taco touchdown dip with a halloween twist-
Use Pampered Chef's Halloween cookie cutters to cut shapes out of flour tortillas & bake. Use these as your dippers. Also with the taco touchdown dip, create a web design on top by spreading the cream cheese over the entire top & then place a dallop of guacamole or taco sauce in the center. Take a knife & from the center pull across the sour cream, repeat this all the way around to get a web appearance.

Chicken & brocholi braid as mummy heads
Prepare as usual except you will divide dough into two section, to make two
mummy heads. Make cuts as usual, place filling in both dough sections, do the
braid twist as usual except leaving a slight gap in space for an eyes area &
mouth area for each mummy head, just slight. When done. Cut 2 cherry tomatos in
half & place cut side down for eyes. Place a red pepper slice on it's side &
push in slightly for mouth & bake as usual.
The dough twists look like mummy wrapping & can be sloppy. You can even
create your gap in dough by just letting that piece of dough that would get twisted kind of just hang off the side like a loose mummy wrap.

Take our Fiesta Seasoning set and make guacamole and salsa. Cut out pumpkins, bats and ghosts out of tortillas and make shaped tortilla chips to make in the oven. Brush with a bit of olive oil (show off that dipping set!!) and coarse salt and bake.

You could also make a soup and use our Creative Cutters set to make pumpkin shaped croutons. Cut the shapes out of bread, brush with olive oil and some Italian Seasoning and bake on a stone until crisp. Float it in the soup.

If we were able to show off the Chillzanne Rectangle Server, you could make eyeballs out of deviled eggs using either green or black sliced olives. Drizzle a little red food coloring over the whites of the eggs to make it look like bloodshot eyeballs.

Anyone else with great ideas out there?

You could make a "monster mash" dip using our Deep Covered Baker. Mix together cream cheese, your favorite salsa, and chopped scallions. Spread the mixture into the baker and top with shredded cheese. Bake until golden and bubbly and serve with tortilla chips in the shape of your favorite Halloween characters. You could also make a "spider web" pizza in our Pizza Stone. Roll out your favorite pizza dough, spread with your favorite sauce, sprinkle on your favorite toppings, and then use either black olives or pepperoni slices to create a spider web design. Bake until golden and serve with our Mini-Serving Spatula.

Wow, these are all great ideas! I love the creativity and use of Pampered Chef products. For the taco touchdown dip, you could also use the Pampered Chef Deluxe Cheese Grater to grate some extra cheese over the top to look like spiderwebs. And for the mummy heads, you could use the Pampered Chef Mini Tart Shaper to make the indentations for the eyes and mouth before baking. As for other ideas, you could use the Pampered Chef Brownie Pan to make individual mini pumpkin pies or mummy brownies. And for a spooky drink, you could use the Pampered Chef Chillzanne Ice Bucket to make a punch bowl and freeze some plastic spiders or eyeballs in ice cubes to add a creepy touch. Can't wait to try out these ideas for my Halloween party!
