The wind shrieks. A harvest moon hangs over a menacing night, as frightening creatures
walk amongst us, tearing at the heels of living. No, it's not a moonlight sail at Dress Barn,
it's Halloween! And today, I'm going to show you the trick to scaring up these tasty treats
on a special Halloween episode of Macracken Live, or DEG.
Boo! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, but it is Halloween after all,
and I'm getting ready to give you the heads up on a recipe that's heads and shoulders above the
rest that you won't have to stick your neck out for. Coming up on Macracken Live, next!
Get it? What are you looking at?
Happy Halloween from Macracken Live! I'm here today with my last minute replacement assistant,
Jack. I like candy. Shocker. I was supposed to be joined by team music sensation Justin Beaver.
Beaver? What? You said Beaver. Jack, there's children watching Jesus. Anyway,
Halloween is my favorite time of year. It's a time where I can put on tons of makeup and dress
ridiculously. As you can see, I didn't have time to do that today, just my normal glamour treatment.
But I have to tell you, without a costume, I just don't feel Halloweeny. Do you, Jack?
Feel your what?
Jack? God damn it, the kids. Shit. Anyway, we need costumes. So, through the magic of television...
Jesus!
What are you supposed to be?
Magnum PI.
Cramony. Well, I came with something terrifying and evil, something that makes
grown men run in fear and children scream and cry and Hollywood turn their backs.
You're a witch.
Yes, I'm Gina Gershaw.
Oh, you want my mustache?
And now that we've donned our spooky, scary best, how about a spooktacular recipe for your
ghoul's night gathering? Carrot cake and candy corn cupcakes. Say that three times fast.
Carrot cake. Don't say it. So, Jack?
Magnum.
Magnum. I want you to cut up those licorice strips, the one you haven't already eaten,
into three and a half inch strips. And I am going to chop up one and a half cups of candy corn.
Oh, I just love this time of year, the sights, the smells, the sounds. Oh, and the scary movies.
Okay, like Halloween and The Exorcist and all of that movie where all those people die at camp.
Friday the 13th.
No, Schindler's List. Oh, and Trick or Treaters aren't they, darling? You know,
this year I'm surprising them with Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Minis. Kids love them.
Speak of the Devils now. Jack, can you get the door?
Trick or Treat. I think they were surprised. So, Magnum,
do you have any favorite Halloween stories? Well, it's one time Higgins and I were at
a Star Trek convention. Jack, do you live with your mother?
Yes, I do.
You know, my fingers are getting in the way. Would you please just bunch up all the candy
corn and I'll continue to chop my nails? Okay. Now, the licorice whips are for decoration,
so you can just set those aside. Oh, mother. Oh, my finger. It's my finger. Oh, thank God. Son of a
bitch. Oh, God, Jack, can you use your other hand? No, it's fine. It's fine. Just give me the towel.
Oh, God, Jack. It's pretty deep. I mean, it's gonna be fine. Just put it in some,
put it in some tupperware. Just put that in some tupperware.
Oh, God, just keep baking. Yes, keep baking. We can't do the cupcakes. Okay. Now, we're simply
going to take our candy corn mixture and put it in with the batter. Oh, that's a lot of blood.
Now, this, you hold that. Sorry. Now, this is going to get pour evenly distributed into our pan.
You good? Yeah. Just keeping my sugar up. Sure you are, him and his sweet dude. Now,
we're simply going to put this pan into a 325 degree oven, preheat it,
and set our cute little Halloween timer for 35 minutes.
That's hysterical. Now, it's time to get moving on our buttercream frosting mixture.
Now, a little orange food coloring goes a long way with this one. All you need to,
you okay? It goes a long way. Okay, you're gonna have to trust me. Okay. Okay. Brace yourself.
Brace yourself over this way. Okay. Okay. Okay. Back. Back. Just lean back. Just lean back.
Okay. Lean back. I'm not gonna lose another one. Not today. Okay. I've got to get you to breathe.
Okay. Now, if this happens to your assistant, you simply need to cut
that, and air-ring the trachea, creating a passage here.
Cupcakes are done.
Now, moving right along, we're going to use our licorice to create
the baskets out of our cupcakes using the licorice-missing handles, non-functional, of course. Now,
we're going to use the piping bag to pipe the frosting all around the licorice, making it nice
and smooth. And then you can put those little candies or whatever you like to fill up your
little basket. Now, I have a finished product right here I made this morning. Aren't those
adorable? These are sure to scare up some compliments for your next costume party. So,
whether you're out tricking or treating or simply spending the night out with the ghouls,
tossing back a few spirits, make sure you're safe when you scare up some fun. Happy Halloween!
