Old Fashioned English Treacle Tart
Ingredients
2 ounces fresh white bread crumbs
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
5 ounces rich short crust pastry -- see note
6 tablespoons Golden Syrup -- see note

a) Golden Syrup, or treacle may be substituted for light molasses or
honey.
b) You may substitute the pastry by an unbaked pie crust from your
local bakery.
Instructions
Put the syrup into a saucepan with the bread crumbs, lemon rind and juice and heat gently until just melted. Cool.
Roll out the dough and use to line an 8 in pie plate. Pour in the syrup mixture.
Roll out the dough trimmings and cut into long, narrow strips. Arrange them in a lattice pattern over the filling.
Bake in a moderately hot oven (400 ºF) for 25 to 30 min or until the pastry is slightly browned.
Serve hot or cold.

Hagrid's Tasty Rock Toffee
Ingredients
Two sticks of butter
One cup of brown sugar
Saltine crackers
One bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
This is best done the day before the party to allow the toffee to harden overnight.

Line a 9x13 pan with saltine crackers.
Bring brown sugar and butter to a full boil.
Boil for five minutes.
Pour this over the saltines.
Bake for seven minutes at 400 ºF.
Remove from the oven and top with chocolate chips.
As the chips melt, spread across the top.
Cool and break into pieces.
Store in an air tight container.

Dragonheart Dip
Ingredients
2 14 oz. can of Artichoke Hearts, drained and mashed
2 cups mayonnaise
1 - 6 ox. Package Dry Italian salad Dressing
1/2 tsp. Garlic salt
Melba toast
Instructions
Mix first four ingredients thoroughly and chill for 24 hours.
Serve with melba toast.

Licorice Wands
Ingredients
black licorice sticks, or colored fruit chew licorice-like sticks
white chocolate candy melts
Instructions
Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions.
Take a licorice stick and dip it into the white chocolate to make a wand handle.
Set the hollow licorice stick over a wooden skewer so the chocolate handle hardens straight at room temperature.
These can be frozen, just thaw before serving.


Peppermint Toads
Ingredients
frog or toad chocolate candy mold
white chocolate candy melts
peppermint candy flavoring oil
(chocolate chips or other chocolate)
Instructions
You can use food coloring to make the white candy melts any color you'd like, since green would be appropriate. Since I had so much brown chocolate already, I decided my Peppermint Toads would be white.
Melt the white chocolate according to the instructions.
Use a toothpick to add peppermint oil drop by drop until you have the desired taste. Be careful, since the peppermint oil is VERY strong!
Spoon the flavored chocolate mixture into the candy mold and let harden in the refrigerator.
When solid, pop out your toads and add the eyes with a small paintbrush and melted chocolate chips.
These can be frozen, just thaw before serving.

Cockroach Clusters
Ingredients
dark chocolate
dry chow mein noodles
Instructions
Melt your chocolate until smooth.
Stir in noodles until the mixture is thick enough to hold together.
Spoon bite-sized clusters onto wax paper and let harden in the refrigerator.
If you want longer-lasting candy, melt 1 stick cooking paraffin per 12 oz of chocolate before adding the noodles.
These can be frozen, just thaw before serving.

Cauldron Cakes
Ingredients
Your favorite devils food cake recipe, made into cupcakes
black string licorice
Instructions
Bake your cupcakes according to the instructions, without using paper cup liners.
Slice off the top of the crown of each cupcake so that when it is turned upside down, it sits flat. This gives you more of a cauldron shape than a cupcake shape.
Cut the black string licorice into small pieces and poke them into the cupcakes as cauldron handles.

Acid Pops
Ingredients
lollipops (Way-Sour Charms Blow Pops, Dum Dums, etc)
Pop Rocks (whatever flavor you choose)
Instructions
Remove the lollipops from their original wrappers.
Open the Pop Rocks and pour them in a shallow bowl.
If your lollipops are not sticky enough on their own, dip them quickly in plain water.
Roll the lollipops in the Pop Rocks until they are completely covered.
Wrap them in plain wax paper squares.
The Pop Rocks immediately start losing their "pop" when in contact with the moisture in the lollipops, so assemble these as close in time to serving as possible for the best effect

Parchment Scrolls
Ingredients
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 Tbsp commercial pesto
6 thin slices orange cheddar (or American) cheese
Instructions
Spread the pesto evenly over the full sheet of puff pastry dough.
Lay the cheese slices evenly over the pesto layer.
Start rolling the long side of the dough and continue until reaching the middle of the pastry sheet.
Roll the opposite end in to meet the first roll.
Chill until the scroll holds its shape for cutting. (completely frozen is too difficult to cut)
Cut the roll into half-inch thick slices with a bread knife.
Place the slices on a cookie sheet lined with parchment.
Bake at 425 ºF for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.
(You can also call purchased tortilla wrap sliced appetizers "parchment scrolls" for an easier recipe.)

Sorting Hat Cake
Ingredients
This recipe contains several specialized pans and other ingredients. Ingredients and materials are listed below.
Instructions
Sorting Hat Cake How To

Pan sizes: 10”, 8” or 9”, 6”, 4”, 3” Rounds.

Recipes: Pound Cake (enough to fill all the pans) or 2 to 3 Boxed Cake mix with Pudding in the mix. Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting recipe doubled or 3 cans of store bought Frosting.

Also: Chocolate Rolled Fondant 5lbs, White Rolled Fondant 2oz, Piping Gel, 16” round Cake Board, 10” and 6” cake circles. Coco Powder, Lollipop Sticks, Fanci-Foil, Dowel Rod, Toothpicks, Pasta Machine, Rolling Pin, Fondant Cutter/Embosser, Pastry Brush or New Large Blusher Brush,

In advance, cover a 16” cake board with Fanci-Foil. Dust a clean dry surface with Coco powder, and kneed chocolate fondant until workable. Roll out to 18” round by ¼” thick, to cover the cake board with an inch overhang all around. Lifting and moving as you roll. If necessary add more Coco powder to the surface to prevent sticking. Lift the fondant onto the 16” board gently. Cut a 10” circle out of the center of the circle. To secure to the board, brush piping gel under the inside edge of the fondant. Fold under the overhang to make the brim of the hat. The rougher the better, remember this is an old hat. Place crumpled paper towels under the outside edge of the brim to give it shape.

Use the Fondant Cutter/Embosser (with the ridged wheel) to mark a 6” slit on the front of the brim. Use a toothpick to make small holes ½ “on ether side of the slit. Roll out a very thin rope of fondant (1/8” wide or smaller), and cut into 1 ¼“ long pieces. Use the toothpick to push the ends of the rope into the holes across the slit. These are the stitches. Using the pastry brush or a new large blusher brush, dust the brim with Coco powder. Let this dry in a cool dry place away from sunlight for at least 24 hours.

Bake cakes according to recipe or directions and cool cakes. Place 10” cake on 10” cake circle, and frost the top. Cover with the 8-9” cake and frost the top. Place 6” cake on 6” cake circle and frost the top. Cover with 4” cake and frost the top. Prepare cakes for stacked construction by inserting wooden dowels or lollipop stick into the 10” and 8”-9” cake and cutting them off flush. Place the 6” and 4” cake on top of the 10” and 8-9” cake. Place 3” cake on top of 4” cake and frost the top. Sharpen one end of the Dowel Rod, and insert down through the center of all the cakes and cake circles to secure leaving about 2” of the dowel sticking out above the cake. Take a 2oz. size ball of chocolate fondant and roll in the palm of your hand, pressing on one side of the ball to form a cone. Bend the end of the cone over and attach to the end of the dowel rod on the top of the cake to form the tip of the hat. (See Picture) Trim cakes into a cone shape, reserving some of the trimmings. Use the trimmings to create the nose, mouth and eye brows. Secure these with Lollipop Sticks. Frost the entire outside of the cake now, making sure to keep it as smooth as possible.

Dust a clean dry surface with Coco powder, and kneed chocolate fondant until soft and workable. Roll out in a triangle shape large enough at the bottom to go around the 10” cake, and as tall as the cake is plus 2 in. Lifting and moving as you roll. Add more Coco powder if necessary. Gently lift fondant over rolling pin or lift with support of both hands, taking care not to tear. Position the fondant on cake with the seam on the back of the cake. Be sure you cover the tip of the hat as well. Pinch together any tears with your fingers. Gently smooth out any air bubbles with your hands and press the fondant into the eyes and around the nose and mouth with the heal of your hand or fingers tips. Press the seam at the back together with your fingers. Trim off extra from around the bottom with a knife or pizza cutter. Work out any air bubbles or pop them with a pin and smooth out the area. Place the covered cake in the center of the brim covered cake board.

To make the hat band use a pasta machine to roll out a thin strip of chocolate fondant long enough to go around the base of the cake. Cut the strip 1 ½ “. wide using a pizza cutter or the Fondant Cutter/Embosser. Brush the base of the cake with a small amount of water and place the strip around the cake at the bottom to cover the seam between the cake and brim.

Mix 2 oz. white fondant with 2 oz. chocolate fondant to make a lighter brown and roll it out thin. Cut “Patches” out using a pizza cutter or the Fondant Cutter/Embosser. Brush the back of the patches with water and place over seam in back of the hat. Using the Fondant Cutter/Embosser (ridged wheel) out line the patches to make “stitch marks” and secure them to the hat. Dust with powdered sugar to high light the stitch marks.

To make the hat straps, roll out 2 thin strips of chocolate fondant 2” wide, and as long as you want. Cut one end of each in a zigzag fashion. Place the strait end under the edge of the brim of the hat, and let the zigzag end hang out and down. You will need to put the cake up on a pedestal or cake stand to let them hang down.

Dust the entire cake and brim with Coco powder to make it look like old suede.

Serves 20 -25.
