*TAPEWORM SANDWICHES*

 I have not made those but it’s a great idea for kids during Halloween.

-8 hot dogs
-8 hot dog buns
-1/4 cup ketchup

Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Slice each hot dog into long, worm-like strips.
Dump hot dog strips into boiling water and cook until they begin to curl a bit.
Drain.
Return cooked hot dog worms to pan and toss with ketchup until thoroughly mixed.
Serve in hot dog buns.

CANDIED APPLES

Kids love those... ENJOY!!! and Happy Halloween.

2 cups water
4 cups sugar
2 cups corn syrup
Large pinch cinnamon
Few drops red food colouring
12 apples
12 popsicle sticks

1. Pour the water, sugar and corn syrup into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to boil until the mixture reaches 290 degrees on a candy thermometer. This will take 20 minutes or so. Stir in the cinnamon and food coloring, and pour the hot mixture into a large bowl set over a large pot of simmering water. This will help it stay hot and make it easier to work with as you dip apples.

2. Pierce the bottom of each apple with a Popsicle stick, then dip into the syrup and roll until fully coated. Repeat with the remaining apples. Rest on a parchment-lined baking sheet until they harden.
