Our annual Halloween/ Fall Birthday Party is fast approaching. I had a marathon session in the kitchen last night where the piece de resistence was a cheese ball formed into the shape of a large intestine, colon included. Being a scientist by educational training, I know what a large intestine looks like -- without even opening a book. (ie too much school... it can be a bad thing) I know it's weird, but after 5 years of the recipe called for pumpkin shape, complete with pretzel stem, I had to do something different. So we have the jello brain, the litter box cake, the intestine shaped cheese ball (other body parts were tossed about, but this is a kid's party), eggy eye balls, skeleton cupcakes, and the tamer cheesy bat biscuits. Sorry... no camera. No photos on the 11 o'clock news.Basic recipe: a stretch of the recipe found in Frightfully Fun Halloween Crafts and Cooking
6 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
12 ounces of soften cream cheese
3/4 cup solid pack pumpkin
3/4 cup of apricot pineapple preserve
3/4 tsp ground allspice -- be generous
3/4 tsp ground nutmeg -- generous again
Mix until smooth. Wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until play doh consistency. Shape into your favorite body part.
