Nasty yet yummy Halloween Recipes for kids and…adults! We’re looking at Roaches Puree, Stuffed Roaches, and the lovely Truck Stop Toilet! These are fun and funny! If you love walnuts, dips and chocolate brownies…these three are for you! Try them out this Halloween!

On our Candian Thanksgiving weekend, my boyfriend’s little brother (12?) was doing an english assingment. He was to write a Halloween menu. This Halloween menu’s suppose to be gross and nasty but realistic at the same time…so onto the net I go and what did I find? Some AMAZING yet hilarious idea….If i throw a halloween party next year, these are ALL going to be on my “to do” list.

So here we go.

The Roaches Pure

Does it look nasty or what?! It’s really only “Walnut Dip with Garlic”. The texture of pureed walnuts is the magic ingredient that give you the crunchy bits!

Ingredients:

3 slices of whole wheat bread, well toasted
1/4 C. walnut pieces
4 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
3/4 C. water
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. In food processor (or by hand), crumble the toast into fine crumbs.

2. In food processor or blender, combine walnuts, garlic, and crumbs until all is finely ground.

3. Add lemon, oil, and parsley. Process until smooth. Add water as needed until desired consistency.

4. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. This is one of those gross recipes for Halloween that’s easy to make ahead of time. As it sits in the fridge, it gets a little darker– a good thing for cockroach puree. The parsley may darken a bit and begin to look like bits of “cockroach skin”.

6. Serve up in a bowl labeled “Cockroach Puree,” “Roasted Roach Dip,” etc.

Stuffed Roaches

This one is probably the best one I’ve ever seen out there! It’s super smart, fun and gross all in one! They looked gross but they taste good. Again the trick is the walnuts!

Ingredients:
1/3 C. cream cheese, softened
1/4 C. walnuts, chopped semi-fine
20-30 dates, pitted

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and nuts til well mixed.

2. Gently fill each date with cream cheese/nut mixture (you may have to split the dates slightly).

3. Serve in a festive halloween decorated with several rubber roaches. Label as “Stuffed Roaches,” or “Fresh-caught Cockroaches,” etc.

Truck Stop Toilet

When I saw this one, I coudln’t stop laughing, but at the same time be extreamly grossed out!

They suggested using brownies and strawberry syrup (bottled is fine) as blood (as in the picture) but also suggest a peanut butter blood recipe to make it looks much nastier. Oh and walnut! in the brownies, slicing them into long rectangular slices instead of the squares….for a more realistic look!

Ingredients/Supplies:
One brand new, UNUSED training potty/toilet
1 prepared brownies
1 tub prepared chocolate frosting

Peanut Butter Blood:
1/2 C. creamy peanut butter (chunky won’t work!)
Light corn syrup, as needed
Red food coloring, as needed
Chocolate syrup, as needed (optional)

Instructions:

1. Thoroughly clean the new training potty with soap and water.

2. Prepare peanut butter “dried blood” by slowly adding corn syrup to peanut butter until you get your desired texture. Add red food coloring until you get a dark blood red. If mixture isn’t dark enough, stir in a little chocolate syrup. Set aside.

3. Place brownies or Tasty Turds in bowl of toilet.

4. With lid opened, “decorate” your toilet with prepared “dried blood” and gobs of chocolate frosting. Dangle a length of toilet paper from one of the gobs of chocolate frosting, if desired.

5. Watch your guests get really disgusted by this gross Halloween recipe.
