4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
1/3-cup sour cream
1 cup finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies
1/3 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
1/3-cup confectioners’ sugar
24 silver dragees decorating candy
1/4 cup sliced almonds
 12 long red vine licorice

Directions

1. Melt the chocolate, and combine with sour cream. Stir in 1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
2. Roll by level tablespoonfuls into balls. Mold to a slight point at one end (the nose).
3.   Roll dough in confectioner’s sugar (for white mice), or in chocolate wafer crumbs (for dark   mice). On each mouse, place dragees in appropriate spot for eyes, almond slices for ears, and a licorice string for the tail.

Day Old Bathwater

12 oz Can frozen lemonade
12 oz Can frozen pink lemonade
12 oz Can frozen limeade
1/2 gal Rainbow sherbet

About 45 minutes before serving time, set cans of lemon and limeade and the container of sherbet out to thaw. After 15 minutes, scoop out half of the sherbet’s containers contents and stir it into a brownish color. Place the remaining sherbet back in container.

Prepare lemon and limeades according to the package directions and pour into the punch bowl.

Carefully float spoonfuls of the brown blended sherbet on top of the lemonade mixture, spreading it around to look like dirty brown suds. Do not stir. Use a ladle to serve punch in cups.

Serves about 30 dirty, non-bathing buddies.

Sicko serving suggestion: Float a handful of green, yellow and white tiny after dinner mints (tiny bars of soap), on top of your scummy punch.


Spider Webs

Makes 8

INGREDIENTS:

9 strands of 38-inch black lace licorice
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled

METHOD:

1. For each web, cut two pieces of licorice 5 inches long and eight pieces 3 inches long; set aside. Cut parchment paper into eight 6 -inch squares.

2. On a clean work surface, lay out the parchment squares. In the middle of each square, cross the two 5-inch pieces of licorice to make an X. Place the two 3-inch pieces of licorice in each of the four sections so they meet in the center of the X.

3. Fill a 10-inch pastry bag, fitted with a #3 plain tip, with chocolate. Pipe a small amount of chocolate into the center of each web. Pipe a circle of the chocolate around it, 1/2 inch from the center and over the licorice, in the shape of a web; make about 3 or 4 concentric circles on each web. Let the chocolate harden, 45 to 60 minutes, before peeling off the parchment paper. Store in a cool place for up to 2 days.
