It seems that each year there are more gross recipes for Halloween that emerge. You have probably already tried many of these for parties, or just for fun, if you have kids. Nothing seems to bring more giggles than gross names for food, unless it’s the way some of this food looks.
If you really want to cause shrieks of disgust and excitement this Halloween, try serving Boogers on a Stick. Even the name is enough to make you gag. While this may not be a well known treat, it is definitely gross to look at. It’s quite entertaining to watch the faces of your guests when they first lay eyes on this special food.
There are a few gross recipes for Halloween that can get complicated to make, but this is not one of them. To create Boogers on a Stick you will need pretzel sticks, an 8 ounce jar of Cheese Whiz (or any other brand), and about 3 or 4 drops of green food coloring. Heat the Cheese Whiz in your microwave just until it melts. Take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Add green food coloring, stirring slowly until you have the perfect color of green “boogers.” Dip the pretzels into this lovely mixture one at a time until you have a nice green Booger on the end of the pretzel. Lay them on sheets of wax paper and let them cool completely. Serve them on a colorful plate.
This is one of many gross recipes for Halloween that really seems to catch on once people have seen the results. Actually, this particular recipe is used for other occasions besides Halloween. They can be used for birthday parties, sleepovers, or just about any other gathering that involves children. Preparation of this edible treat can be used as part of the party fun. Kids love helping to create those boogers. Even the adults get in on the laughing and screaming while making these.
If part of your Halloween celebration includes parties, you will most likely see more gross recipes for Halloween. However, they will have to be REALLY gross in order to top Boogers on a Stick. This has all the required ingredients for bulk amounts. It costs very little to make them. Preparation only takes minutes. They are fun to put together. Best of all, they are so much fun to make that you will have all sorts of volunteers when you announce what you are making. These disgustingly named treats may just be the perfect party food.
