Green Goblin Dip with Skeleton Bone Crackers

Serve this Dip at your next Halloween party.

This Dip is scrumptious with hints of Pepperoni, Roasted Peppers and Parmesan. Then I paired it with homemade Parmesan Skeleton Bone shaped Crackers.

I live in Anoka, Minnesota which just happens to be the Halloween Capital of the world so creating recipes for Halloween is a must. Of course I don’t want to create all sweet treat items so I came up with this Dip, gave it a little Green Goblin food coloring, and paired it with Skeleton Bone crackers.

GREEN GOBLIN DIP WITH SKELETON BONE CRACKERS

Green Goblin Dip Ingredients:

• 1 (8 oz.) Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
• 1/2 Cup Pesto
• 1 Cup Pepperoni, diced
• 1 Cup Roasted Red Peppers, diced
• 1 Cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
• 5-6 Drops Green Food Coloring
• 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic

Skeleton Bone Cracker Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Flour
• 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
• 4-8 Tablespoons Hot Water
• 1/2 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

1. First make the Dip. In a medium size bowl, mix together the Cream Cheese and Sour Cream using a hand mixer until smooth.

2. Add the Pesto, Food Coloring and Garlic and beat on medium until well combined.

3. Stir in the Pepperoni, Roasted Red Peppers and Parmesan Cheese. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour prior to serving.

4. Time to make the Skeleton Bone Crackers. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

5. In a large mixing bowl stir together the Flour and Salt. Slowly add in the Melted Butter stirring well with a wooden spoon.

6. Now incorporate the Parmesan Cheese into the Flour mixture.

7. You can see the Flour mixture looks a little dry, slowly add the Hot Water one tablespoon at a time. You may only need 4 Tablespoons to get the dough to form. If the dough looks a little dry you may need a few more tablespoons Hot Water to get the dough to come together.

8. Once the dough has formed. Separate it into 2 sections. It will be easier to work with one dough ball at a time.

9. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out one dough ball. It should be fairly thin about 1/8 of an inch to 1/4 inch thick. Use a Skeleton face and a Bone shape Cookie Cutter. You can also use a paring knife to cut out these shapes free hand. Let your creative style work here. You can’t go wrong with creating scary skeleton faces and bones. Your yield will vary depending on the size of your cutouts. Roll out the second dough ball and continue making the cutouts.

10. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place your Skeleton Face and Bone Shape Cutouts on the parchment about and inch apart.

11. Bake until lightly browned. They should take about 8-10 minutes. All ovens cook differently and these are thin so they will brown quickly so keep an eye on them.

12. When the Crackers are done transfer them to a cooling rack.

13. Once your Skeleton Bone Crackers are cool, tray them up with your Green Goblin Dip and you are ready to serve!
