Candy Corn Fudge
These colorful treats from the Woman’s Day Kitchen may sound super sweet, but a few key in- gredients keep them balanced: cream cheese for tanginess, pretzels for a salty kick and dried cherries (or cranberries) for a touch of tartness.
8 ounces cream cheese
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 3 cups white chocolate chips (about 18 ounces)
2 cups mini pretzels or broken pretzel pieces
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup candy corn
1. Line an 8- or 9-inch square pan with 2 sheets of parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth, about 2 minutes; beat in the vanilla.
3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave according to package directions.
4. Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth, 1 to 2 min- utes. Fold in the pretzels and cherries. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and top with the candy corn. Refrigerate until rm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
5. Using the overhangs, transfer fudge to a cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces. Serve in mini cupcake liners, if desired. Serves 64.
Witch’s Wicked Punch
This frightfully refreshing concoction made from lemon-lime seltzer and lime sherbet takes just 10 minutes to make. Be sure to use a clear punch bowl to reveal the ghoulish beverage.
4 liter bottles cold lemon-lime seltzer 3 tubs lime sherbet
Black food color spray, optional*
Stir 2 liters seltzer and half of the sherbet in a punch bowl until blended. Float scoops of the remaining sherbet on top of punch. Pour remain- ing seltzer over scoops (it will create a foamy top). Lightly spray foam with black food color, if de- sired. Serves 24.
*Color Mist food color sprays are available from at most crafts stores.
