Earwax on a Swab

24 mini marshmallows
6 ounces butterscotch chips

1.  Snip straws into 2 and 1/2 inch lengths.  You should have twenty-four 2 and 1/2 inch straws.  To form cotton swabs, firmly press a mini marshmallow onto the end of each straw piece.
2.  Place butterscotch chips into microwave-safe bowl and microwave at low power or defrost setting for about their seconds.  Use a potholder and remove the bowl from the microwave.  Stir the butterscotch with a toothpick and return it to the microwave.  Repeat this process until the butterscotch looks completely melted.
3.  Dip the very tip of each cotton swab into the melted earwax and place sideways on waxed paper to harden.


Crusty Booger Balls
 
1 -14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
5 and 1/3 cups flaked coconut (about 14 oz)
1 large (8 oz) lime Jell-O
1-cup ground, blanched almonds
1 tsp. almond extract

1.  In a large bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut, 1/3 cup of the unprepared Jell-O, almonds and extract.  Mix well with a large spoon or rubber scraper.
2.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for about an hour or until mixture is firm enough to mold in your hands.  Scoop by 1/2 teaspoons and shape into various-sized booger balls.  Place them on a baking sheet, lined with a sheet of waxed paper.  Make sure they are all slightly different.
3.  Place a second sheet of waxed paper on your work surface and pour remaining unprepared Jell-O on the center of the waxed paper.  Roll each ball in jell-o mix to coat well and create a thin outer layer.  Then place back on the baking sheet.
4.  Return boogers to the refrigerator for an hour before serving and store any extras in the fridge.

About 5 dozen.

2 cups long-grain rice
3 and 3/4 cup water
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter

Dutch Dandruff

Cake mix
Dark chocolate frosting
Maraschino cherries
1 fruit roll up
Coconut flakes

1.  Prepare cake, bake according to instructions.  After removing cakes from the pans; allow the layers to cool on a wire rack for at least 1/2 hour.

2.  Place one of the layers upside down on a cake plate.  Spread a thin layer of frosting on the top only, and then carefully place the second cake layer right side up on top of the first layer.

3.  Fill a heavy duty plastic food storage bag with the rest of the frosting and twist the top tightly shut.  Using scissors cut off one tiny bottom corner of the bag.

4.  To decorate:  Think of the top of the cake as the top of a human head, and imagine apart running down it’s middle.  Now, using the plastic bag of icing as a pastry bag, squeeze a stream of frosting “hair” falling from the imaginary part down the side of the cake.  Continue adding streaks of frosting until your cake has a full head of hair leaving it’s front, or face, un-iced.

5.  Using a dab of frosting, glue two cherries on the cake’s face for eyes and one for a nose.  Next, using clean scissors carefully cut a piece of fruit roll into the shape of a tongue.  Fold tongue in half lengthwise to form a realistic crease down the middle, then unfold and attach under the nose with a dab of icing.

6.  Sprinkle coconut (dandruff flakes) generously down the center part of the head and lightly sprinkle flakes all over the rest of the cake.


Spinal Cord Spirals

8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
4- 8 inch flour tortillas
2 cups spinach leaves
2 medium tomatoes (optional)
6 ox thinly sliced pepperoni or salami
8 oz pkg shredded mozzarella cheese

Spread about 3 Tablespoons of the cream cheese, to within 1 inch of the edge of each tortilla.  Layer tortillas with spinach leaves, tomato slices, salami slices and mozzarella cheese.  Tightly roll up tortillas

To serve, transfer tortilla rolls to a cutting board.  Slice off and discard ends.  Cut rolls into 1 inch slices.  Secure with toothpicks.  Stack three or four spirals, slightly off center to from a spinal column.  Makes 24.


Ralph’s Retch

1- 3oz box strawberry Jell-O
40 ice cubes
2 cans

1.  Prepare Jell-O according to directions.  Pour into shallow baking pan (like a jelly roll pan) and chill until firm (about 3 hours).

2.  Remove the Jell-O from the refrigerator.  Using a dull knife, make as many cuts as possible across the length and width of the pan, forming tiny cubes.

3.  Grind ice cubes in a blender.

4.  Spoon alternating thin layer of crushed ice and Jell-O pieces into tall glasses, filling them about two inches away from tops.  Slowly pour strawberry soda into each glass until full, and then stir gently.  Serve retch with iced-tea spoons, so your guest can get at every chilly glob.


Open Wound Cookies

32 wrapped hard red candies
1-18 oz ready make refrigerator sugar cookie dough
1/2 c. flour

1.  Preheat oven as directed on cookie package.  Line baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.  Unwrap candies and set aside.

2.  Use a knife to slice dough into 1/2-inch thick rounds.  Rub flour on your rolling pin then roll each dough wedge to about 1/4 inch thickness.  Next use the cookie cutter to make 16 to 18 circles.

3.  Then cut individually shaped gashes and wound openings into each cookie dough circle using the butter knife.  Each wound should be uniquely shaped and no bigger than 2 to 3 inches around.  Jagged edges made randomly with the butter knife on the inner circle will make wounds look true to life.

4.  Carefully place wounds on lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  Place baking sheet into the oven and bake for about 7 minutes.  Carefully remove them from the oven but do not turn oven off.

5.  Carefully place 2 hard candies in the center of each wound.  Return baking sheet to the oven and continue baking for three minutes, until the hard candies have melted into fresh bloody wound openings.

6.  Cool the cookies on the trays for about 3 minutes.  Use a flat metal spatula to carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 16 to 18.
