Halloween Recipes: Fresh Bowl of Eyes & Stuffed Roaches

There isn't much that'll gross me out when it comes to "Halloween Recipes." Because what can you really do with ghosts, black and orange frosting and some creativity?
A gingerbread cookie house... a jack o' lantern cookie... a crunchy spider snack. Cute. But not gross.

Well whoever "Overduebook" is over at Flick is raising the bar for edible, Halloween, gross eats.

Check out the pics to really sell it. Known as "Fresh Bowl of Eyes" and "Stuffed Roaches" these things on first glance really turned my stomach.

But reading the comments to deduce how they were made shows how the right colored ingredients, a well placed sign or prop and some ingenuity can really sell something. And they're really REALLY easy to make.

That "Fresh Bowl of Eyes?" Is really just lychee fruit in a can that's been well drained and then filled with strawberry jam/jelly and topped with a blueberry. Poof. Pukeariffic.

The "Stuffed Roaches?" Dates, nuts and cream cheese. Put a sign and a rubber roach and you've got people cringing.

Brilliant.

Check out the rest of the Overduebook's photostream HERE on Flickr for other equally nauseating treats--- or try THIS Flickr link for Halloween recipes both cute and gross.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Wish I could take credit for it!
If you make 'em, let me know how the eyeballs taste. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write...

ha! I love lychee fruit; they sound sweet but scrumptious (and always look disturbingly fleshy to me). I'll keep you posted should I make some!
