Make magic in your kitchen by transforming a bunch of ordinary potatoes into edible apparitions.

Ingredients

4 cups chopped white potatoes
1/4 cup milk
1 crushed garlic clove
2 tablespoons cream cheese or grated cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 19-oz can black beans, drained

Directions

Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until soft. Drain the water, then add the milk, garlic, cream cheese, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher or beat with an electric mixer until creamy and lump-free.

Scoop the potatoes into a pastry bag without a decorator's tip. Squeeze the ghosts onto a lightly buttered cookie sheet so they stand upright. To create ghastly eyes, press two even-sized black beans (or peas) into each ghost's head.

Just before serving, warm the ghosts in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for about 5 minutes. Serve on white plates and eat with forks or fingers. Makes about 24.

TESTERS' TIP: Be sure to make lots of mini ghosts--when we tested this recipe at the party, the kids wouldn't touch the big ones.

Huge spider made from black garbage bags. We stuffed one big black garbage bag with newspaper or any scraps to make it round for the body of the spider. After that we rolled the other bags the long way for the legs, 8 of them and taped them to the body.

Then we hung it from the ceiling with white string that looks like spider webs. Or you could hang it from a tree. The garbage bags can be used after the party for the trash!

You need:
9 black garbage bags
tape
old newspaper
string
