you can also check out the Archie McFee web site (its a real commercial web site, so i'm not making a link.) it sell some interesting stuff.. like jello mold in the shape of a human brain. you make any red jello, add on or two drops of blue food coloring (it's not quite purple, but a drabber red) and some cream, sour cream, or milk to mixture for part of the liquid. (1.5 cup water, .5 cups cream) it makes a drab solid colored pink. (not quite grey, but like a brain suffused with blood) Mold in brain shaped mold, unmold and garnish with, gummy worms, or gummy bugs.. it looks great on a bed of meringue, (line a bowl with tin foil, then with a layer of meringue, bake in slow oven till set and crisp, but not browned.. remove from bowl, break into peices (looks broken pieces of skull bone..)
my son's birthday was close to halloween.. so we had weird parties.. i also have a recipe for chocolate and ginger cookies, (sort of log shaped) served in a bed of grapenuts.. (think about it.. oh, gross!)
meringue also was good for making tomb stones, to put on beds of chocolate pudding, (also garnished with gummy worms. and bugs.. ) kids really liked these gross foods..
