Ive been wanting to make these for a while and finally remembered to pick up everything I needed to make them. They look gross. Just like little bloody ears!  This is a great recipe to have on hand for Halloween. They couldnt be simpler to make either.

Full Moon Sundaes

Even a man who is pure in heart, And says his prayers by night, May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms And the Autumn moon is bright.

Above is a quote from the 1941 movie, The Wolf Man.  I grew up watching this movie and still love it just as much today as I did then. The recipe for full moon sundaes is from Rachael Ray. I decided to make this to go along with my sea monster sandwich as a ode to the great Lon Chaney aka the Wolf Man.

This sundae is sure to have you howling at the moon! 🙂

Ingredients:

fudge sauce, heated-I used sugar free

fudge swirl ice cream- I used fat free vanilla

4 moon pies, chopped- I used 4 mini moon pies

whipped cream

Directions:

For each sundae, layer the ice cream, moon pie chunks, fudge sauce, and whipped cream.

Sea Monster Sandwich

Aside from Christmas, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Maybe its because I love all things horror or maybe because my birthday is just two days before All Hallows Eve. Either way, I love it. This really isnt a recipe but its just too darn cute not to post.

I found this  in a Pillsbury Halloween magazine that I picked up at Walmart a couple of weeks ago. Basically you just buy a can of refrigerated french bread and form it into an S shape and bake as directed. Let it cool for a few mins and slice in half horizontally. Pile on your favorite sandwich toppings. The eyes are simply a carrot that I cut into some small rounds and the tongue is the end piece of a tomato that I cut into a fork shape. You make a little cut right underneath were you sliced the bread in half and gently push in the tomato. There you go. You have a sea monster!
