Yesterday, I had the most entries ever on this blog in 1 day! I'm soooo excited! Now I just have to wait for my first comment!
Unfortunately, this is the last entry dedicated to Zombies! And because it's still 2 days before Halloween I'm also going to throw in a few Halloween related suggestions as well.
Yesterday, when I was researching Halloween I came across some awesome recipes. This issue is dedicated to Zombie and Halloween recipes.
The CSR website has some awesome recipes to prepare for that Halloween get together.

Severed Finger Treat
Kidspot.com.au has some very interesting and gruesome yummy treats. We have an office Halloween party coming up - I'm thinking about making the treats below:
 |
Severed finger recipe |
Ingredients:
- 100g almond flakes
- 2 tbsp pillar-box red food colouring
- 125g butter, softened
- 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- ½ cup icing sugar, sifted
- 5 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 2/3 cups plain flour
Method:
Step 1. Place 24 fingernail-shaped almond flakes into a small bowl and pour over the food colouring. Leave to soak while you make the biscuit dough. Step 2. To make the biscuit dough, using a mixer, cream the butter and eggs until combined. Beat in the icing sugar, caster sugar, vanilla and salt and mix until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Step 3. Still using the mixer, add the flour and mix until just combined. Form the dough into 2 disks and cover in cling film. Refrigerate for 20 mins. Step 4. Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and set aside. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll 12 finger shapes from each disk. Use a sharp knife to cut knuckle ridges into the dough and pinch together for knuckles. Step 5. Place an almond fingernail on each fingertip. Bake for 12 minutes. Step 6. Remove from oven and dip each finger end into the food colouring.

WHEAT THINS Original Snacks
 |
| Isn't he cute! |
make it
PAT dough into 12x6-inch oval on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Indent dough, about 3 inches from one end of oval, for the mummy's head. Let rise in warm place 20 min. or until doubled in volume.
HEAT oven to 375ºF. Brush dough with egg. Bake 18 to 20 min. or until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped lightly. Pull apart string cheese to make about 16 strips; arrange on bread for the mummy's wrappings. Bake 1 to 2 min. or just until cheese is melted; cool slightly. Press olive slices into bread for the mummy's eyes; cool completely.
MEANWHILE, mix sour cream and dressing in medium bowl until well blended. Stir in next 5 ingredients. Refrigerate 30 min. or until ready to serve.
USE sharp knife to remove bread from top of mummy's body; scoop out bread from center, leaving thin shell on bottom and side. (Reserve bread top. Discard removed bread or reserve for another use.) Fill bread with spinach dip just before serving; cover with top of bread. Serve with WHEAT THINS.
AND, here is one for the adults!
This cocktail certainly packs a punch. If you enjoy the flavour of rum, it is sure to please. For a lighter drink use only half measures of the rum. Serve your Zombie in a highball glass.
Ingredients
Ice30 ml light rum30 ml dark rum30 ml overproof rum15 ml apricot brandy15 ml cherry brandy60 ml orange juice15 ml lime juiceFresh fruit to garnish
Method
Place ice, rums, apricot brandy, cherry brandy, orange and lime juice in shaker; mix well.
Add extra ice to serving glass and strain Zombie into glass.
Garnish with fresh fruit and serve with a straw.
Unfortunately, this is the only recipe I could find which comes anywhere close to being Zombie related, but the other Halloween recipes sound awesome and I for one will definitely be trying some of them!
The recipes above are obviously not the only ones out there, but they are the ones that caught my eyes.
So enjoy!
