~~~F~O~O~D~Y F~R~I~D~A~Y~~~

FOODY FRIDAY Has returned here at Sarah's Spot! Now, Jenny's theme is party appetizer/fun food etc... Soooooo.... I have 2 for you all tonight....buhaahaahaa.... :-)

1st is what I made for our friend's party tonight, and I made last year for our Halloween party. Now, if you don't fancy making this for Thanksgiving or Christmas, tuck it away for next Halloween!

Spider Web Nacho Dip
Find a large Halloween serving plate. Line the plate with tomatoes and then smear the whole plate with refried (black) beans almost to the edge of the plate. Then smear salsa almost to the edge of the beans, the guacamole almost to the edge of the salsa, and then add your favorite toppings in the center (spicy corn, olives, peppers, onions, black beans, tomatoes... and then sprinkle the whole thing with cheese. Now, the Haloweeney part... put sour cream in a zip lock baggie and squeeze the air out. Cut the tip off the corner and draw lines like you are cutting a pie, and then connect them to make a spider web. The picture below is from a Woman's Day magazine from last year, and my variation of the recipe varied a bit, and so can yours!!! Decorate with fake plastic spiders....Enjoy!!!!!!

Betty Crocker's Oven Caramel Corn
My 2nd Fav fun food is caramel corn. NO recipe is better than the old fashioned Betty Crocker one. This time of year, with apples and candy, I start thinking about this, dreaming about this and salivating for this...

3 3/4 Quarts (15 C. )popped corn
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. butter
1/4 C. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda


Heat over to 200 deg. Divide popped corn between 2 ungreased baking pans, 13X9X2. Heat sugar, butter, corn syrup, and salt, stirring occasionally, until bubbly around edges. continue cooking over med. heat for 5 min.

Remove from heat; stir in soda until foamy. Pour on popped corn; stir until corn is coated. Bake 1 hr, stirring every 15 min. Lick spoon :-0 and gobble up the caramel corn!
