Can you believe Halloween is almost here? We’re only about a month out, which means it’s time to solidify those Halloween party plans… and that means adorable desserts and spooky treats! These Spooky Ghost Cake Balls fit the bill. They’re easy to make, even if you’re the worst cake pop dipper ever (like me) and they can be customized in any flavor you’d like. Plus, these not-too-scary ghosts taste great and are perfect for everyone, from kids to adults.
A spooky party needs an equally spooky centerpiece or focal point, and this deliciously creepy Bleeding Hearts Fondue Fountain is perfect to simulate dripping blood in a very, very tasty way.
If you don’t have any vampires among you, it’s okay, because this fondue is made from Almond Bark and tinted red, instead of being bloody for sure.
Melt two packages of White Almond Bark in a double boiler on the stove, stirring frequently. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in a stick of butter, cut into cubes. When the butter melts, slowly spoon some chocolate into a bowl of whipping cream until about half of the chocolate is in the whipping cream. Then, pour the whipping cream mixture into the remaining chocolate, stirring until smooth. Add in red Americolor food coloring until you achieve the desired red.
Typically, I’ll suggest that you use Wilton or Americolor, but in this situation, Americolor seems to work best at getting a very true red.
Pour your fondue into your warmed fountain, and turn on the motor. Watch the magic happen.
Serve with dippers like apples or graham crackers.
Or VooDoo cookies, of course.
While this fondue is specially formulated to be thin enough for a fondue fountain, it is still suitable for a regular fondue pot, as well.
