On the Ninth Day of Creepmas

I'll share a few recipes...

Leech Cobbler
All the boils & ghouls will love it...




(aka peach cobbler, but in honor of the
 Creepmas spirit, I've renamed it)


You'll need:

Flour, margarine*, baking powder, sugar*, 29 oz canned peaches leeches
optional: Cinnamon Sugar

*You can make it a bit healthier by using Splenda, light margarine, and as far as the fruit canned in it's own juice (not heavy syrup). If you want to make it less healthy, then use a pie filling instead and just add a few peaches leeches to the mix). Also if you hate peaches leeches, then pick whatever fruit you want.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Heat the canned fruit leeches
Melt 1 stick of margarine (not in the same pot as the fruit leeches)
Make batter of 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 cup of sugar and mix the dry ingredients. Afterwards, mix in 1 cup of water.

Pour butter into baking dish. Pour in batter (I pour about 3/4 in first). Pour in fruit leeches. I usually like to sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on at this point, but it's totally optional. Finally, pour the remaining batter on top.

Bake for approx. 1 hour. But keep an eye out for it, sometimes it's finished before the hour is up.

P.S. This serves about 6-7 "walkers".


Pumpkin Bread

This one is even easier than the previous recipe. Follow the directions on the box.. hahaha!
















BTW, I think us Creepers should forgo Santa's cookies and instead serve him this:



I thought this one was funny too:

Candy Corn Infused Vodka

So I found this awesome recipe at 102 Wicked Things To Do

It was pretty simple. All you need is vodka (I used Smirnoff), a measuring cup, a sealable jar (I used a mason jar), a strainer, paper towels and a bit of patience (which I'm definitely short on).

I didn't strain it as much as Mizerella did, just because I am lazy and this was a tester. Although I couldn't take a shot (I have a very low tolerance for alcohol), I did take a sip. It is really good! I do believe I am going to make this as a thank-you gift (for a helpful friend), but I will definitely strain it more.
