Fall is my favorite time of year and Halloween is my favorite Holiday. Growing up, my mom went all out for every holiday, but we had extra fun with Halloween. Some of my favorite memories as a child are from Halloween nights. Whether it was hiding in the bushes and scaring handing out hotdog weenies to our neighbors or winning the best Halloween costume contest at our family’s Halloween party (okay, so normally that’s my brother, not me), we are always having so much fun this time of year. I decorated my mantel the last week of August (too soon?) and have already been brainstorming ideas for our trunk-or-treat decor. I am really getting into the spirit which brings me to this:
Let me start off by saying that I had a serious case of writer’s block a couple of weeks ago and ran out to Michael’s. That’s what everyone does when they have writer’s block, right? I found the Taste of Home Halloween issue and bought it immediately. I brought it home and found a similar dish to this titles “Frankenguac.” I knew that I had to make a rendition of this for our Halloween party this year. To give it a try, I gave it the tried and true taste test that is my toddler. Hampton loved dipping the pretzels in this guacamole dip. He wasn’t crazy about the taste of it, but I was! It is delicious! You can either make your own fresh guac dip or do like I did and buy store bought for a quick dish and add a few Avocados from Mexico for extra decor and garnish. I used pretzels for the scar and mouth, sour cream and chip pieces for the eyes, olives for the nose and bolts and black bean chips (that are the bomb) for the hair.
I’m thinking this dip is going to go over well at this year’s party! What do you think?
