Beetlejuice Halloween Snack Mix

Ingredients

• 6-8 cups popped popcorn slightly salted
• 6 oz green yogurt covered pretzels
• gummy eyeballs and body parts
• 2 bars Halloween themed chocolate like Snickers and Twix roughly chopped
• 1 cup candy corn
• 1 cup Halloween themed M&Ms candy

Instructions

• Pop the popcorn and pour into a large bowl.
• Gently mix in remaining candy and pretzels and stir to combine.
• Scoop into small individual bowls and serve during movie night.

For this Beetlejuice inspired snack mix I used a variety of Halloween candies.

My favorite movie night combo is salty popcorn and sweet M&Ms. 

Start by adding fresh popcorn to a large bowl.

Gently mix in remaining candy and pretzels and stir to combine.

Scoop into individual bowls and serve at movie night.

Springtime tea parties are one of my favorite events to host at our library and book club.

For our recent family hosted Book Bingo, I made these Tea Party Charcuterie Filled Letters to serve.

They not only looked beautiful and served as a decoration for the event, but they were also large enough to serve a crowd and were filled with a variety of meats, fruits, cheeses, and treats that everyone could enjoy.

My girls and I enjoy hosting themed Book Bingo events at our local library every month! We provide all the food and drinks along with decorations and even sometime prizes!

We love our local libraries and hosting free events like this in our community is just one way we like to give back and show how much we care.

Scroll down for Friday’s Spring Sweets Week recipes!

Ingredients:

A variety of snacks including:

2 kinds of crackers or small toasted bread

1 -2 sliced small meats like sausage, rolled ham, and pepperoni

2-3 sliced and cubed cheeses

sliced fruits like halved strawberries, blackberries, and grapes

macaroons or bite size cookies

fillers like nuts, trail mix, dried fruit, and spring candies

Directions:

1. Choose your letter boxes to spell out whatever you want. Remember the larger the word/more letters you use, the more food you will need to fill it. I usually stick with 1-4 letters for events.

2. Cut parchment paper to the inside size on the letter boxes and line the bottoms of all letters. 

3. Now start to fill the boxes. I start with sturdier items like stacks of crackers, breads, cookies, and then add fruit in the corners and fill with the remaining cheeses, meats, and treats.

4. Finally, fill in any empty spaces with nuts, dried fruit, and candies.

5. Serve with a few small forks and tongs along with napkins and small appetizer plates and enjoy. 

Note: I prefer to assemble to day of the event. You can pre-slice and wash everything in advance to make it easier!

Cut parchment paper to the inside size on the letter boxes and line the bottoms of all letters.

I like to have a variety of sweet and savory items for my Charcuterie letters. Cookies, sliced fruit, cubed cheese, small meats, and nuts and candy work great. 

Now start to fill the boxes. I start with sturdier items like stacks of crackers, breads, and cookies. 

Fresh and dried fruit work great. My favorites are grapes, halved strawberries, and blackberries. 

My girls made mini muffins and we added those too along with crunchy chocolate straws. 

Then add fruit in the corners and fill with the remaining cheeses, meats, and treats.

Try to add enough to fill but not overcrowd. 

Fillers are important to add at the end to fill any open areas. For this spring tea party theme I used pastel candy corn. 

Finally, fill in any empty spaces with nuts, dried fruit, and candies.

All done and ready to serve! 

Serve with a few small forks and tongs along with napkins and small appetizer plates and enjoy.

This easy to make, creamy Southern appetizer can be served as a spread on biscuits for game day or as a dip with veggies and crackers for brunch.

Southern Pimento Cheese Spread

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Duke’s mayo
• 16 oz/2 cups shredded Cheddar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp hot sauce or to taste
• 3 tbsp pimentos chopped and drained

Instructions

• Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.
• Add more mayo and hot sauce if needed.
• Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• When ready to serve, scoop into a serving bowl with crackers and sliced veggies for dipping. 

Notes

Inspired by the recipe from Capital Bar and Grill in Little Rock.

You can choose your preferred mayo for this dip but I prefer Duke’s brand for flavor and creaminess.

I also prefer to use thicker pre-shredded cheddar cheese (it usually has a flour coating on it).

When I made this version above I shredded my own cheese and because it was so thin,

it clumped and did not have the texture I wanted for the spread. 

Drain your pimentos from the jar. Then chop and dice.

Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well.

To jazz up this recipe from my normal basic pimento cheese I added seasonings, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce.

Add more mayo and hot sauce if needed.

Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

When ready to serve, scoop into a serving bowl with crackers and sliced veggies for dipping.

Creamy, salty, and oh so spooky, these Spider Olive Deviled Eggs are a fun appetizer to serve for Halloween season!

Deviled eggs are always devoured in our house and since olives are also a family favorite, this combo was a winner!

Ingredients

• 6 large boiled eggs

Scoop out the yolks and add to a bowl. Set the egg whites to the side.

Next, add the mayo, mustard, olive brine, and chopped olives to the bowl.

Mash the yolks and mix well.

I love stuffed olives so I used these jumbo garlic olives for this recipe.

I reserved the garlic inside to use as fangs for the spiders. 

To add to the olive flavor of these eggs I also added olive brine from the jarred lives to the filling.

Gently spoon the filling into the egg whites, mounding on top.

Finally, add slice the remaining 6 whole olives in half and add a half to the center of each egg as a spider body.

Then slice up the remaining olives in small strips and add 8 around each olive half, 4 on each side, as legs.

I found this 20oz wheel at Sam’s Club. 

Start by carefully slicing the top rind off the top of the Brie wheel.

Remove and place on a cutting board.

Using s small pairing knife cut out a small lightning bolt shape on the top left of the cheese. Set aside.

Ava picked out this bright red plum jam which was delicious and the perfect Harry Potter color!

Leave a little space from the edges so the jam does not leak over. 

Add the carved top of the brie back on top of the round covered in jam. 

Make sure the lightning bolt is positioned on the left top. 

Place the brie in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

This creamy dessert dip is inspired by my favorite fall treat- sticky sweet caramel apples.

With just four ingredients this easy recipe is perfect for serving at autumn parties and fall gatherings.

Autumn Caramel Apple Dip

Ingredients

• 2 8 oz blocks cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 13-16 oz container caramel dip or sauce
• 1/2 cup toffee bits
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 4-6 large apples cored and sliced thin
• 1 cup pineapple juice optional

Instructions

• In a large mixer bowl add the two blocks of softened cream cheese.
• Beat until smooth and creamy then add vanilla.
• Finally slowly mix in powdered sugar and mix until combined.
• Spoon the mix into a large pie or serving dish, spreading to cover.
• Next, pour the caramel dip over the cream cheese spread. You may have to warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave if it's too thick.
• Spread it evenly all over.
• Sprinkle toffee bits all over the top.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To prepare apples: start by coring and slicing.
• Add to a large bowl of pineapple juice and toss to coat.
• Soak for 3-5 minutes. This should prevent the apples from browning.
• To serve: set out the chilled dip with spreaders or spoons and a large plate of the sliced apples for dipping.

In a large mixer bowl add the two blocks of softened cream cheese.

Beat until smooth and creamy.

Next, add vanilla. 

Finally, slowly mix in powdered sugar. 

Mix until combined. 

Spoon the mix into a large pie or serving dish, spreading to cover.

You can either use caramel dip or caramel sauce.

I prefer the thicker dip but you may have to warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave if it’s too thick to pour.

Caramel sauce is usually in a squeeze bottle and comes out thinner. 

Next, pour the caramel dip over the cream cheese spread. Spread it evenly all over. 

 Sprinkle toffee bits all over the top.

Doesn’t this look amazing?!

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To prepare apples: start by coring and slicing. Add to a large bowl of pineapple juice and toss to coat.

 Soak for 3-5 minutes. This should prevent the apples from browning.

To serve: set out the chilled dip with spreaders or spoons and a large plate of the sliced apples for dipping.

I really enjoyed the last 2 1/2 weeks watching the Paris Summer Olympics with my family.

We all especially liked the gymnastics and trampoline teams and we have mixed feelings about the addition of break dancing this year! 

So proud of all the USA teams for their determination and drive!

Go Team USA!

This patriotic dessert board features fresh fruit, creamy dip, sweet cheese, and red, white, and blue treats. It was inspired by Team USA and perfect for enjoying while you watch the Olympics recaps and ceremonies this summer.

Team USA Olympics Dessert Board

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup strawberries halved
• 1/3-1/2 cup blueberries
• 1 cup dessert dip
• patriotic colored snacks like truffles, marshmallows, coated pretzels, cookies, wafer rolls
• 2-4 mini brie circles
• 4 cheesecake fruit tarts
• 1 mini blue moon pie
• 1/2 cup crackers or cookies for dip
• 1 chocolate gold #1 medal

Instructions

• Add the gold medal in the center.
• Place the bowl of dessert dip on the tray then add and arrange fruit and treats around.
• Fill in all open spaces with ingredients then serve immediately.

I started with a large round gold platter. I placed a gold #1 medal and ribbon in the center. I used a chocolate medal but you can also just use a plastic one.

I found this world flag lanyard too and added it around the border.

Now start preparing our treats. I using mini brie circles with flag toothpicks, blonde Oreo “medals”, cheesecake tarts topped with fruit ( recipe here) , patriotic truffles, and a blue mini moon pie.

I used a food safe marker to write USA on the blue moon pie . You could also do this with a frosted cookie or large marshmallow. 

Add your treats to the board. 

Now start adding red and blue fruit. I used large sliced strawberries and plump blueberries. 

Keep filling in spaces with fruit, marshmallows, truffles, and cookies. 

These cheesecake tarts are so simple and pretty!

This dessert dip was a gooey butter cake mix with cream cheese.

I added gold sprinkles at the end and served flag shaped crackers around the bowl for dipping.

Arrange all the ingredients so the fit and fill in any open spaces. Serve immediately. 

Bright, colorful, and full of treats. Perfect!

Go Team USA!
