    I Scream Ice Cream SundaesI Scream Ice Cream SundaesHalloween is the season to have fun with your food - but with so many gross-out recipes out there, it's refreshing to find something that's gory, yet not actually disgusting to eat. These creepy I-scream sundaes are simple to make using ice cream or frozen yogurt and berry jelly or puree for a bloody effect - a perfect pairing with candy eyeballs or severed fingers. Perfect for a party or dinnertime dessert, anyone can make them - the bloodier, the better. And no need for food coloring!

I used plain old cherry jelly - Nanking cherry from last summer - which has the perfect color and consistency for fake blood. I spooned some into a snack-size zip-lock bag and snipped off one corner.

      My after-school snack was a sacred ritual. I sat on the carpet in my parents' bedroom at a low table, the television turned to "I Dream of Jeannie," and ate a peanut butter and honey sandwich cut into neat squares. I wasn't fussy about crusts. I just loved the sticky pairing of creamy peanut butter with syrupy golden sweetness drizzled from a honey bear in diagonals across the soft white bread.
