- [Paula] Trick or treat, y'all.
0:02
I'm Paula Deen and I'm so glad you've dropped by,
0:05
because Halloween is my absolute favorite food holiday.
0:09
But before I show you the tricks to my treat,
0:12
we'll visit a man who takes his haunted house
0:15
to new heights.
0:17
Then we're gonna head home to scare up a witch's hat cake
0:20
that'll be the hit of the party.
0:22
And I've got these charming little cheese ball goblins,
0:26
and finally, a Halloween treat that'll bite your right back.
0:29
So, light your jack-o'-lanterns and borrow your black cat,
0:33
'cause it's fright night.
0:35
(chuckles)
0:41
Hey, this is the most fun time of year,
0:46
it's Halloween.
0:49
(chuckles)
0:50
And I'm fixing to take y'all to a spooky, spooky castle
0:54
and I'm gonna introduce you to Mr. Halloween.
0:58
So, kids y'all load up and come with me,
1:01
'cause we're gonna have fun.
1:04
(chuckles)
1:07
My friend Peter over at Wings castle,
1:10
has been scaring the breeches off of people for years
1:13
with his spooky decorations.
1:15
And today he's offered to show me around his castle
1:18
to help me get in the Halloween spirit.
1:22
Hey Peter.
1:23
How are you? - Hi Paula, how are you?
1:25
- I'm fine, how are you doing?
1:26
- I'm fine, I'm just feeding the fish.
1:28
- Well you're all geared up and ready for Halloween?
1:30
- Yes, yes we're getting there, if you wanna come in?
1:31
- I do wanna come in,
1:33
but I have to tell you I'm kind of a little scared.
1:36
- Well, nothing to fear but fear itself.
1:39
- Spectacular.
1:41
How long have you lived here?
1:43
- 33 years now.
1:45
I'll let you in.
1:47
Welcome. - [Paula] Oh Peter.
1:50
- [Peter] Welcome to the castle.
1:52
- [Paula] It's awesome.
1:55
How long did it take you to build it?
1:57
- [Peter] Well, we're still working on it so--
1:58
(chuckles) - [Paula] 33 years later.
2:00
Well, y'all have done a spectacular job with it.
2:03
- [Peter] Thank you.
2:04
- [Paula] It's almost indescribable.
2:06
- We have some surprises for guests if they show up.
2:09
- Oh really?
2:10
- Especially if they like to look in the closet.
2:12
(spooky music)
2:14
(screams)
2:15
- [Paula] Oh, it's a dead person Peter.
2:18
- It's my neighbor, we get along fine now.
2:21
- [Paula] Best neighbor you ever had.
2:23
- [Peter] Yeah.
2:24
- Oh Peter, I've had such a good time today with you.
2:27
- Okay, you're welcome.
2:29
Here's a little souvenir.
2:31
- Good, you gonna give me a rubber chicken?
2:33
- Yeah.
2:34
- That's great, I'm gonna hang him in the kitchen.
2:36
- Okay.
2:38
- Thanks so much, Peter. - Goodbye.
2:40
- Bye, happy Halloween. - Same to you.
2:43
(spooky music)
2:47
- [Paula] Now that I'm good and scared.
2:48
What y'all say let's go back to the house
2:50
and fix up some Halloween treats.
2:53
How did you like Peter's castle?
2:56
It was spooky wasn't it?
2:58
And he gave me a chicken,
3:00
and you know what I'm gonna do with him?
3:04
I'm gonna just hang him right up here
3:05
till it's time to fry him.
3:07
(chuckles)
3:10
He'll be safe right there.
3:13
Today's show is all about Halloween props.
3:18
Now, I've just draped a regular cake plate
3:21
and we're gonna put the wax paper around,
3:25
so I won't get that messed up.
3:28
Now, right over here next to me,
3:30
I have just a box cake mix, one round and one square.
3:35
What I've done with this one
3:36
is I've mixed red food coloring into a yellow
3:39
to get kind of an orange cake.
3:41
So, we're gonna start by placing our round layer
3:46
into the center of our dish.
3:49
We're gonna take our square piece,
3:51
and we're gonna make this just a little more even
3:55
by trimming the little puffy part off.
4:02
I'm gonna flip him like that,
4:04
so we'll have a smooth edge to work with.
4:07
Okay, so we're gonna press down
4:12
and then pull those edges around,
4:15
so we can just pull them right on out.
4:18
All right, that's gonna be part of our hat,
4:21
and then we're gonna go over to here with this one.
4:27
We're just gonna push straight down
4:30
and pull away.
4:33
Straight down and pull away.
4:37
All right, now we've got some scraps left.
4:40
This is gonna be the top of the hat,
4:44
and I'm gonna take these scraps
4:48
and stuff them down into that cone.
4:52
There we go,
4:53
I'm gonna kind of press it in like that,
4:56
and sit him right there.
4:59
So, we're gonna use a canned frosting,
5:04
get a little start right there.
5:08
We're gonna spread him in,
5:09
and the kids are just gonna love this hat.
5:15
We're ready for our next layer,
5:18
and place him right about in the center,
5:22
and we're gonna do the same thing again with him.
5:29
Just gonna smooth that around.
5:32
Okay, we're gonna do the same thing for our next layer,
5:38
because we're getting the height for our hat.
5:41
One more, last piece.
5:46
Now I'm gonna use a wooden skewer
5:49
to make sure I hat doesn't fall off
5:52
of our plate during the party.
5:55
Right, so we're gonna go in just like so, just like that.
6:04
All right.
6:05
Now wherever so gently,
6:07
we're gonna try to get the frosting on to the top of our hat
6:13
without knocking it down, that may be the trick.
6:16
So, we're gonna just start up there,
6:18
and very, very gently bring it down,
6:32
just like that.
6:35
And he kind of fell on us,
6:37
so I'm gonna turn that around
6:39
and bring it up to the top like that.
6:43
Now, we're ready to turn him and do a little bit more.
6:48
I came from top to bottom on that first one,
6:51
but I think I'm gonna try it from the bottom up
6:53
and let's see what we've got.
6:56
I almost think this is gonna work better.
6:59
So, we're gonna start down there,
7:01
bring that up just like that and see what we've got.
7:09
I think that's much better, don't y'all?
7:11
I'm gonna take my spatula now
7:13
and just start smoothing it out.
7:19
Look how cute our hats starting to come alive, isn't it?
7:24
I'm gonna go around the edge of the hat.
7:28
Now, no self-respecting witch hat would go without a band,
7:32
so that's what we're gonna put on next.
7:34
And this is real, real easy to do,
7:36
you can buy fruit roll-ups at the grocery store,
7:39
and you can cut them to the length that you need,
7:43
and take a paintbrush
7:45
and brush it with some white Karo syrup,
7:48
but I've made mine out of almond paste.
7:51
So cute.
7:54
All right, now I've got a tray full of candy
7:56
that Michael put out for me,
7:58
and I'm gonna just start placing those candies.
8:04
All right, stick different candies in our hat.
8:10
I don't wanna do too much to it,
8:14
'cause I think it's just kind of so cute the way it is.
8:17
I'm gonna clean my knife up, so that we can brace our cake,
8:25
as we slip out our wax paper.
8:30
Coming up next kitty, cheese ball goblins.
8:34
(witch laugh)
8:42
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
8:44
And if you do.
8:46
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
8:49
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
8:53
And we'll be right back after the break.
8:59
We're gonna move on next to a cheese ball goblin.
9:03
Great little dish,
9:04
because you can make this the night before,
9:06
and have him right ready for the party.
9:08
And I'm gonna use softened cream cheese, butter,
9:14
and we're gonna use about a tablespoon of milk,
9:18
that'll just help it, make it more workable for us.
9:22
(rumbling)
9:27
All right, we've got our cream cheese
9:28
and our butter incorporated,
9:30
so now we're gonna add Mexican cheese
9:34
(rumbling)
9:37
And you can find this already shredded
9:38
in the cheese section of your grocery store.
9:46
And I'm gonna let him sit as long as I can.
9:49
Now I've got another one in the refrigerator,
9:51
because for my party,
9:52
I'm probably gonna be making three of these
9:54
to last all night.
9:58
Get this one out of the fridge
10:04
and it should be nice and firm.
10:11
And I've got my wax paper hanging right here ready,
10:19
I'm just gon start playing
10:22
until I have the shape head that I want.
10:28
All right, I think he's just about perfect.
10:30
Sit him right in the center of our plate.
10:34
Over here, I have a bowl of beaten cream cheese,
10:39
has no flavor nor anything in it,
10:41
and we're gonna frost our goblin
10:45
with the plain cream cheese.
10:46
So, you can see how smooth and soft this is,
10:49
and I beat it real well, so it's ready to frost our head.
10:56
Now you could have the inside of this goblin
10:59
any color that you wanted.
11:01
So, here comes the fun part,
11:03
we're gonna start with some ears,
11:05
and by just lightly tilting a regular tortilla chip,
11:12
green is gonna make him some fabulous big ears.
11:18
We're just gonna stick that ear right in there.
11:23
All right, how is that looking?
11:24
The next thing we're gonna do is this eyebrows.
11:28
I could actually use the red bell pepper or the green.
11:35
All right, so how is that for his eyebrows?
11:40
And another eyebrow.
11:43
For his eyes, we're gonna use a small Pomona olive,
11:51
and his nose which is my favorite,
11:53
find an ugly, ugly pepper.
11:56
And these are just salad peppers,
11:59
and I kind of liked that one, is that looking good?
12:03
All right, we're gonna use carrots for his teeth,
12:09
and you see, he hadn't done too much brushing on them.
12:12
Now for the feet we're gonna use a big olive,
12:16
and for his toe nails,
12:18
I've got some beautiful red bell pepper.
12:23
Now ain't that a beautiful manicure?
12:26
We're just gonna tuck them right in there,
12:31
and I think we're gonna give him three toes.
12:34
Now I think it's safe at this point
12:37
to start slipping our paper away.
12:45
And now he's got to have a real pretty do,
12:47
by using just shredded purple cabbage.
12:53
So, how's that for a good-looking goblin?
12:57
A few crackers, look at that, he's all ready for the party.
13:02
And next we're gonna see what slithering through the grass,
13:07
so don't go away.
13:13
I hope y'all are enjoying the show
13:15
and I want to hear from you.
13:17
Tell me what recipes or videos you'd like to see me
13:20
make by just leaving a short comment below.
13:24
Now, let's get back to the show, y'all.
13:30
I promised y'all that I was gonna make you something
13:32
that slithers through the grass,
13:36
well that's what we're fixing to make next.
13:39
We're gonna bake a snake.
13:41
Now this is just an ordinary canned crescent row
13:45
that we're gonna start with, which makes it real easy.
13:51
I'm gonna put a little flour on our board,
13:54
'cause we don't want it sticking,
13:56
but not too, too much because I don't want it so dry
14:01
that I can't see all those perforated edges.
14:04
I'm gonna just press them together,
14:07
so our snake won't have any holes in him.
14:11
I think we've gotten those looking pretty good.
14:15
Okay, we're gonna take our flour and dust our rolling pin.
14:21
Roll him long ways and try to get it as much length
14:27
out of this piece of dough as we can.
14:30
Right there we go.
14:32
We got a pretty good looking snake going on.
14:38
Right now, I'm just gonna use a mustard,
14:41
and I'm using kind of a spicy mustard.
14:43
I'm just gonna spread this on.
14:47
Now, you can use any kind of meat you want.
14:50
I'm using a salami, love salami,
14:54
and I'm just gonna line them up
14:56
just like that down the middle
15:00
until I get to the end of the pastry.
15:04
And then I'm gonna come in with some real thin ham,
15:09
lay it like that.
15:14
All right, now we're gonna add some cheese,
15:17
and you can add any kind of cheese you want.
15:20
I'm using a little Jack.
15:23
I like a white cheese with our snake.
15:28
Now we're gonna fold that over and fold this over,
15:35
and I'm gonna take our brush
15:38
and we're just gonna dampen that edge just like that,
15:43
so that we can seal him up.
15:47
Okay, now I'm gonna flip him one more time.
15:51
I'm gonna kind of roll him up together, kind of tight
15:54
and I'm gonna work him,
15:57
so he keeps getting a little longer and a little longer,
16:00
and then I'm gonna taper out the tail,
16:04
just making this pointed as you can down there.
16:07
All right, now we're gonna come back and work on his head,
16:11
not a big one, but just a little head.
16:13
All right, bathe him in an egg bath,
16:18
this is gonna give the skin of the snake
16:21
a real shiny pretty finish.
16:27
All right, now we're gonna paint our snake.
16:30
Just use food coloring
16:33
that's been beat up with a little yolk,
16:36
and you'll want it to kind of run down the sides like that.
16:39
Kids can use their imagination,
16:41
and the future artist will just have a ball
16:45
playing with this one.
16:47
We'll give his head a little Brown color,
16:50
and then kind of blended in there with the rest of him,
16:54
like that.
16:56
All we have to do now is put two cloves in for his nostril,
17:04
and we're gonna transfer him to the cookie sheet,
17:12
we'll get him slithering up there on to that pan.
17:19
Does he look pretty good?
17:22
Okay.
17:24
All right, here he goes into the oven.
17:32
And let's go see what the other one looks like.
17:34
I put one in a little bit earlier
17:39
and let's see what he looks like.
17:42
(chuckles)
17:47
He looks pretty good, doesn't he?
17:51
And we're gonna stick that red bell pepper tongue in there,
17:57
just like that, now all we need to add is the eyes.
18:07
(hissing)
18:10
How you like that?
18:13
I'm just gonna bite him before he bites me first.
18:19
And he really is a tasty snake.
18:23
Stay tuned 'cause coming up next,
18:25
a few more tips to make it real scary.
18:28
(hiss)
18:37
I so hope y'all are enjoying the show.
18:39
And if you do.
18:41
Be sure to click like, subscribe and
18:44
notification bell so you'll never miss a video.
18:48
And we'll be right back after the break.
18:54
While I was putting this menu together,
18:56
I thought of a few things that y'all just like to know
18:59
in case y'all want to make it.
19:01
Now a great way to be able to do the vegetables
19:04
to your goblin the night before,
19:06
is shave your cabbage and your carrots and your bell peppers
19:11
and put them in ice water,
19:13
and the next morning,
19:14
he will have the prettiest, curliest hairdo you ever seen.
19:18
And I think the best tip I got,
19:21
is the one that Peter gave me.
19:25
He told me to take a rubber glove and fill it full of punch.
19:33
Look at it.
19:35
(chuckles)
19:37
Tie it up with a twist tie,
19:42
you wanna tie that tightly,
19:46
throw it into your freezer,
19:51
and when you're ready to pour your punch
19:53
into your Punchbowl,
19:56
your hand makes your ice cube.
20:02
I hope that all your little ghosts and goblins
20:05
love the menu that you prepare for them.
20:08
The cream cheese goblins and the witch's hat,
20:12
and the snake.
20:15
So, until next time America,
20:17
I wish you love and best dishes
20:20
from my Halloween to yours.
20:24
(witch laugh)
