The next elements of the Halloween dinner that we’ll review are the poison apple dip, and zombie guts! The guts are startlingly easy — I saw a photo on-line of something that was captioned as “Halloween herb-bread guts.”<\/p>\n

The original photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The bread in the original photo is on waxed paper and looks almost more glazed, like a doughnut with raspberry sauce on it — which would be an alternative possibility if you didn’t have a dessert prepared. I needed a more bready element in my planned dinner, though, so I used a roll of pre-made Pillsbury herbed pizza crust for my zombie guts. I just stretched it out on the waxed paper in the pan, and sort of molded and squirmed the bits around around until they looked vaguely like the photo and vaguely like the guts I remember seeing in biology dissection class years and years ago. Then I dabbed barbeque sauce in the folds of the guts, sprinkled some chopped parsley over the entire thing, and cooked according to the instructions on the roll.<\/p>\n

Later thoughts: I shouldn’t have used the wax paper to cook on, but rather set the finished guts on it so everything was nice and tidy. Pulling the bready guts off the waxed paper after cooking was a bother! Also, apparently this was the dinner element that almost turned the stomach of one participant, due to how authentic it looked! :)<\/p>\n

The original recipe for the poison apple dip<\/a> is beautifully photographed and gorgeously made — take a moment to check it out! I chose to do things only a little differently:<\/p>\n
