This post in sponsored by Mondelez and all opinions are my own.
"Pick Your Brains"
Cream cheese brains created in both a sweet and a savory version for your guests or family to pick from! After all, no Zombie party is complete without brains on the menu! There is a free printable "Pick Your Brains" sign to use when displaying, if you like.
Sweet Brains
The sweet version of the Halloween treat is comprised of strawberry cream cheese piped onto an OREO cookie. It is then garnished with red gel icing as a blood effect.
You will need:
- 12-16 OREO Cookies
- 1 tub of Strawberry Cream Cheese
- 1 tube of red gel icing
- Piping bag with small or medium round tip
Savory Brains
The savory Halloween snack is made by swirling smoked salmon cream cheese onto a RITZ cracker and garnishing with a hot sauce such a sriracha for blood. If you have trouble finding this flavor of cream cheese, my salmon mousse recipe can stand in.
Supplies needed:
- 14-18 RITZ Crackers
- 1 tub of Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
- Hot sauce for garnish I used sriracha.
- Piping bag with small or medium round tip
Piping The Snacks
I used a little different technique on the sweet vs the savory versions of these Halloween brain snacks. The effect of the ones piped with the smaller holed tip (OREO) look a little better to me, but the larger tip (used on RITZ) is faster, easier, and still creates a brain-like effect. Then simply squirt a little gel icing or hot sauce in a few spots around edge of brain and a little in center if you like.
Zombie Pudding Cups
Kids will love these fun Zombie Pudding Cups and you will love how easy they are to make!
All you need to Make this super easy Halloween treat is:
- ready-to-serve chocolate pudding cups
- OREOs
- SOUR PATCH KIDS Big Kids
- Honey Maid Graham Crackers
- black icing I used ready made cookie icing
Making
Prior to assembling the cups, you will paint or draw on simple X's and oval dot for eyes and mouth on SOUR PATCH KIDS Big Kids (2 per pudding cup). You will also write RIP on one single Honey Maid Graham cracker per pudding. Set aside to dry.
Crush up OREO cookies in a plastic bag. 2 cookies per cup, plus a few extra for good measure.
Serve on plate or tray with free printable Beware Zombies! sign.
