Candy Corn Pizza:
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made cheese pizza crust
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Orange and yellow gel food dye
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven according to the pizza crust package instructions.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded mozzarella cheese with a tiny amount of orange and yellow gel food dye until you achieve the desired candy corn colors. Be cautious with the food dye; a little goes a long way.
- Spread the colored cheese evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, following the package instructions for the crust.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- While the pizza is baking, prepare the salad.
Halloween Salad:
Ingredients:
- Mixed greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Cucumber, sliced
- Black olives, sliced
- Balsamic vinaigrette dressing
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and black olives.
- Drizzle the salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing and toss gently to combine.
- Serve the salad alongside the candy corn pizza slices.
Q-Tip Dessert:
Ingredients:
- Pretzel sticks
- Mini marshmallows
- White chocolate, melted
- Caramel sauce, for dipping
Instructions:
- Insert a mini marshmallow into one end of each pretzel stick to resemble a cotton swab.
- Dip the marshmallow-tipped end of the pretzel sticks into melted white chocolate, coating them evenly. Place them on a parchment-lined tray to dry.
- Once the white chocolate is set, dip the other end of the pretzel sticks (without the marshmallow) into caramel sauce.
- Place the caramel-dipped Q-tips back onto the parchment paper and allow them to dry completely.
- Arrange the Q-tips on a serving platter for dessert.
