Nutter Butter Ghosts

Mummy Meatloaf

I made this for Halloween and served it with Mac & Cheese Zombies. It was such a fun dinner and a huge hit with the kids.

Mummy Meatloaf

Monterey jack cheese slices
olive slices

Make meatloaf as directed and shape to resemble a mummy's body with arms crossed. Bake until cooked through.

Lay 1-inch wide slices of cheese across mummy's body, leaving space on the head for the olive eyes. Return to oven for a few minutes to slightly melt the cheese.

We had a Halloween themed dinner a few nights ago. It was a lot of fun! It definitely makes dinners so much fun for the kids.

Spooky Halloween Punch

I made this drink for our Halloween party and it was a huge hit with the kids. They loved the hand floating in the drink. One of the fingers broke but I think it just added to the effect to have a finger floating around. It was so much fun!
