Hey There Kitchen Witches!

Got a Samhain celebration coming up and you need something spooky for dessert?

Wondering what to do with all that extra Halloween candy?

This probably sounds vile.. but it is a really delicious dessert, and if you have kids, they will love the idea of putting a bowl of Ghost P**p on the table.

Whip this up the day before so the marshmallows can get nice and soft. It is not a true mousse, but comes out the same texture. This makes a great and super-sweet addition to your Samhain dessert menu.

Ingredients
1 16-oz. tub frozen dessert topping, thawed

12 - 14 oz. chocolate syrup

1 C. mini marshmallows

1/4 C. chopped walnuts

1/4 C. shredded coconut

1/4 C. chocolate chips

1/4 C. candy corn, chopped

Directions
Put the thawed dessert topping in a large bowl, and gradually add the chocolate syrup. Mix while adding, so that the topping turns your preferred shade of brown. Use a little more or a little less syrup, depending on how dark and chocolatey you want your Ghost P**p.

Once your whipped topping is the right revolting color, add the marshmallows, nuts, if you are using them, coconut, chocolate chips and candy corn. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight, so your Ghost P**p can firm up. Serve in a big decorative bowl with a large spoon.

* Note....I like to blend all the ingredients together to a smoothy consistency first, before I put it into the fridge. But I say do what feels right to you.

Blessings,

Hey There Witches!

Pumpkin Spice Soap

What a way to bring Autumn to you personally than crafting your own pumpkin-spiced soap, infused with autumnal herbs like sage, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Using a readymade soap base makes this craft really simple, and it is much safer than the traditional method, which uses lye on its own, it is quite corrosive.

To make yours, work out how much soap base you need to fill your moulds, and melt in a double boiler.

Once melted, add a teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg, and a little ground sage for a warm, autumn scent. Stir in a few drops of your chosen essential oil for extra fragrance.

Pour the melted soap into moulds and let it cool for a few hours until solid. Once set, remove the soap from the moulds, and it is ready to use or gift!

Supplies Needed:

Melt-and-pour soap base

Organic ground cinnamon

Ground nutmeg

Rubbed sage leaf

Or a ready-mixed pumpkin spice blend

Essential oils:

Frankincense oil

Clove bud oil

Sweet orange oil

Soap molds.
