witch fingers
3-4 dozen depending on size of fingers
less than an hour not including fridge time
1 c soft butter
1c powdered sugar
1 egg
1tsp almond extract
1tsp vanilla
2 2/3 c flour
1 tsp salt
3/4 c whole almonds
1 tube of clear or red decorator gel
1. beat together butter, sugar, egg, extract, and vanilla
2. beat in flour and salt
3. cover and refrigerate 30 min
4. take heaping tsp of dough from bowl in fridge (keep majority of the dough in the fridge) roll into finger shape for each cookie. for the knuckle squeeze in the center to puff the dough out. I think they looks better when they look like an arthritic finger all misshapen. press the almond firmly into 1 end of the nail. If desired make slashes in several spots of the knuckle
5. place on a baking sheet at 325 for 20 minutes
6. let cool for a few minutes
7. To keep the almond in place lift the almond from the cookie and glue it with decorator gel. I like to paint the almond a dark witchy red
*this is a shortbread type cookie. Yummy and fun!

Microwave Caramel Popcorn
Inspiration: can't remember where it's from, got it in 2001
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time:15 minutes
Makes: 2 bags of popped pop corn
Description: Homemade Carmel corn so easy the kids can do most of the work. We have made this for years and haven't changed it. The only trick is to stir and shake VERY WELL. It cools in.....about 3 minutes. Just enough time to turn around and it's gone. We don't make it with nuts since a few ornery family members don't like them. but would be yummy with them.
Ingredients
2 bags of microwave pop corn (plain is best)
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c butter
1 c peanuts (optional)
1 c brown sugar
1/4 c corn syrup
1/2 tsp baking soda
Pam or cooking spray
Large brown paper bag
1. Spray paper bag generously with Pam. Pop the popcorn and put the popcorn into the sprayed bag.
2. In a saucepan combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup. Cook for about 2 minutes or until mixture bubbles. Boil for 3 more minutes stirring constantly. Do not cook the mixture any longer or it can get a bitter burnt sugar taste. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla.
3. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn. Roll top of bag closed and microwave for 1 minute. Take bag out and shake well.
4. Microwave again for 30 seconds, shake well, microwave another 30 seconds. SHAKE WELL. Stirring with a long handled spoon each time will ensure each morsel of goodness is coated; watch out because you can burn yourself easily.
5. Pour over wax/foil paper and spread evenly into one layer. The caramel corn will be cool and dry within 5 minutes.
Tips and Tricks
Better make a double batch because this goes fast!
The caramel corn makes quick and cheap gifts for the holidays just buy Christmas Tupperware or Halloween bags to complete the look.
