Do you remember me telling you about my friend Kim and her obsession with The Walking Dead?

She’s just darn crazy about this show and it shows in her creepy Halloween themed recipes because she likes to make recipes inspired by the Walking Dead show!

The chocolate zombie parts makes this perfect for Halloween. – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Now you don’t have to make this dip just for Halloween, you could really make it for any holiday and just leave the zombie parts out haha.

I think the zombie parts are just what this dip needs though to take it from tasty cherry treat to spooky bloody treat!

Kim has the recipe and directions over on her blog! Make sure to jump on over there and print it out!

Kim says,

Okay, let’s just get this out of the way right now. My name is Kim and I’m a Walking Dead addict. I’ve watched the series 20 times and have no plans to stop. I LOVE this show. Way too much. So I decided holding events on the blog that revolve around the show was a stellar idea. You’re welcome.I could not resist making something a bit icky this time around. What I love about this one is you can make it look beautiful or you can make it looks disgusting. The choice is yours.

If you’re having a Halloween party or even a Halloween themed dinner, you’re going to need something to drink. This Blood Red Punch is great, not only because it looks great for a Halloween party but it’s fantastic because it can be made kid-friendly or it can be turned into an adult cocktail!

I love the spider ice cubes with this Blood Red Punch! – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

If you want the spider ice cubed, make sure that you plan a bit ahead of time so you have time to freeze some little plastic spiders into ice cubes!

Your guests are going to love them!

Blood Red Punch

Cathy says,

My kids love this punch anytime but love the ice cube spiders more. I always make a couple trays of these cubes in October and pop them into whatever they are drinking. They love it…and so do I.

This punch is kid-friendly (alcohol-free) but can be easily transformed into an adult beverage

Spooky Bloody Good Cheesecake

Angie Barrett — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 01:03:57 +0000

This Bloody Good Cheesecake Recipe is the spookiest Halloween treat that is sure to be the scary centerpiece of your party! Red velvet cheesecake is baked on a chocolate crust and covered in a blood red homemade gel frosting.

“This post/recipe is from Heather and it originally appeared on SugarDishMe.com”

It’s that time!!! Halloween is near! So here’s what’s up — if you are new here, or you just forgot since last year, or if you maybe don’t follow me on Instagram, then I should explain that I am just a tiny bit into Halloween. And by “tiny bit” I mean WE GO ALL OUT. So this year I decided to go a step beyond the usual handful of Halloween recipes that I share at kind of the last minute.

This year I have partnered with 7 other bloggers to bring you all kinds of Halloween fun – recipes, ideas, how I decorate my house, and… this Bloody Good Cheesecake.

Is this spooky and fun or what?

This bloody cheesecake recipes is actually just the creamiest red velvet. Plenty of chocolate, not too sweet, and with a chocolate graham crust. By itself the recipe is a little bit elegant. But the most compelling part of any Halloween dessert is really the presentation.

So to make this cake extra spooky I made homemade red gel frosting. It is SO easy. You’ll never pay too much to fuss with a mediocre tube of gel frosting again.

here are a few elements going on here to make this cake all bloody and Halloween-ey. FIRST is the red gel frosting that I made with the help of this Wilton icing color. The second is the base I put the cake on. I used a cardboard cake round like this, but if you don’t have any, I’ll tell you that cutting a 10″ circle from a pizza box and wrapping it in foil totally works.

Beneath the cardboard is a foam disc that I bought in the craft section at Walmart. I painted it black using some leftover chalkboard paint, but spray paint will also work. The foam is important because when you serve, you need to be able to get the knife to stand up in the cake without tipping over, plus you want it to be deep enough that it looks like you actually stabbed the cake.

I am SO excited to share with you guys over the next few weeks. Halloween is my favorite!

But if it’s not your thing, this red velvet cheesecake will totally stand alone without the fake blood frosting.

BLOODY GOOD CHEESECAKE Recipe

Created by Angie Barrett on July 31, 2018

Prep Time: 4h 15m
Cook Time: 1h
Total Time: 5h 15m

Yield: serves 16

Ingredients

For the Crust:

5 tablespoons melted butter
8 whole chocolate graham crackers, crushed into fine crumbs

For the Cake:

3 (8 ounce) blocks of cream cheese, at room temperature
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, at rook temperature
⅓ cup heavy cream
red icing color

For the Gel Frosting:

¼ cup COLD water
¼ cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 teaspoons cornstarch (see note)
red icing color

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a 9" springform pan with parchment paper or foil, letting the paper cover the edges of the bottom of the pan and closing the springform edge around it (this makes for easy removal later on).
Combine the crushed chocolate grahams and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press into the prepared pan.
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add the unsweetened cocoa and mix until combined, making sure to scrape down the sides and the bottom at least once.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. The mix in the vanilla, salt and heavy cream.
Add the red icing color until the batter is a deep red color. I started with ¼ teaspoon and ended up using maybe ½ - ¾ teaspoon total.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it over the crust.
Bake for 20 minutes ate 325F. Then reduce the oven temperature to 225F and bake for 30 more minutes. Turn the oven off and DO NOT open the oven door. Just let the cheesecake stay in there until the oven cools to room temperature. This prevents cracking.
Use a knife to gently loosen the sides of the cake from the pan before popping the springform sides open.
To make the gel frosting, stir together the cold water and cornstarch until smooth. Pour it into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour in the corn syrup and stir until the mixture is heated through and smooth. You will need to stir frequently; you can watch it thicken as it cooks.
Remove the mixture from the burner after 1-2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and red icing color. I used about ½ teaspoon of color to achieve the look here. Let the gel cool before spooning it over the cake.
Refrigerate for 4 hours before serving.
NOTES
For the cake pictured, I actually made 2 batches of the gel frosting. For the first batch I used 4 teaspoons of cornstarch. It makes a thicker gel. I spread it over the top of the cake and let it drip down the sides. Then I refrigerated the cake. That kept the drips in place. The second batch I made with 3 teaspoons of cornstarch and spooned it over the cake when serving. It looks like fake blood and is pretty great.

Vampire Magic Shell – Bloody Magic Shell

Angie Barrett — Fri, 21 Oct 2016 02:14:23 +0000

Dip homemade popsicles or store bought ones into this Vampire Magic Shell – Bloody Magic Shell for a hauntingly special treat! Or drizzle it over scoops of ice cream for an eerie evening dessert!

“This post/recipe originally appeared on my main blog BigBearsWife.com”

Muhahahaha it’s October!! That means that we can totally be all about everything that’s Halloween! Ok,so let’s just pretend that I haven’t been all about Halloween since the last week of August! haha

Now we can officially be all about Halloween without judgment.

Oh and the best part about Halloween and October? We went to Disney World to celebrate Halloween this year!

Ok, well we didn’t actually go on Halloween, we went a few weeks before Halloween. However it was still awesome to see all of the Halloween decoration out!

I’m sure I’ll be chatting more about that later (ok YOU KNOW I’ll be chatting more about that later) but let’s talk about this magic shell!

It’s the magic shell that’s just perfect for Halloween! Why? Well because it’s Vampire Magic Shell – Bloody Magic Shell!

Yeah, I could decide on if I should call it, Vampire Magic Shell or Bloody Magic Shell for Halloween so I just went with both.

You know what magic shell is right? The chocolate coating that hardens when it touches cold ice cream?

Well now you have a Halloween version!

It’s still hot here in the south for Halloween most years so I can totally see myself enjoying one of these fudgesicles that’s been dipped in magic shell!

I tried a few different options before I found the one I liked, the one that I’m posting today. I tried out a few recipes that called for vegetable oil, I tried some that called for cake mix and a few that called for tons of food coloring.

Some were ok and some were downright weird.

I had high hopes for the red velvet cake mix one I tried out but it fell short and turned into more of a dried blood color than the bright red I was going for. The food coloring tries always ended with way too much food coloring that only yielded a weird pink and the vegetable oil ones just didn’t harden like I wanted it to.

So then I turned to coconut oil and the red melting candy wafers that I had in the pantry. I had almost given up my idea when I spotted the bag of red chocolate in the pantry! I’m so glad that it caught my eye because it was exactly what I needed for this!

So whip up some Vampire Magic Shell – Bloody Magic Shell this evening for your little vampires and monsters.

Side note! If you’re looking for the cherry magic shell like Dairy Queens, just make this and add in a little oil based cherry candy flavoring.

Happy Haunting! Check out all of the spooky Halloween recipes and crafts on BigBearsWife.com!!
