Halloween Candy Corn Chocolate Bark Smores

In honor of Halloween (which just so happens to fall 2 days after my birthday) this week’s Interesting Recipes from Across the Interweb is featuring some scary desserts/treats… Along with a dal recipe recipe my good friend Ali Z wanted me to post. She is currently living in Bangladesh, doing volunteer teaching at a women’s university there, and learning the in’s and outs of the culture & cuisine. Her recipe isn’t really a dessert, so it doesn’t fully fit the theme…  But it is kind of scary, since it’s something she learned how to make while she’s been living over there… Or I guess “intimidating” might be the better word.

Either way, here’s the recipes:

Halloween Candy Bark Smores – Gingerbread Bagels

Spooky Noodles (Spoodles) – Pumpkin Pasta in Squid Ink Sauce w/ Sriracha Chorizo  – Salty Seattle

Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Spiced Buttercream – Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts

Homemade Daal Smash - Bengali Ali

Turkey and Smoked Bacon Pie

Since I began AdamLovesFood about a year ago, I’ve started following a lot of other food blogs, joined a bunch of food blogger communities, and now receive a slew of recipe/food-related newsletters. One of the sites I joined is called Foodbuzz (thanks in large part to my pal Krissy) who runs The Dainty Chef.

Foodbuzz is a great food blogger community, as well as recipe website, that provides a nifty daily email called the Top 9. Every day, Foodbuzz sends out 9 recipes via email that have been submitted by food bloggers in the community and then voted on by their FoodBuzz peers. The Top 9 make the list, and every morning that I receive the email I’m wowed by the creativity of the recipes, how awesome other foodies’ photography skills are, and how nicely their websites are put together.  I am also fascinated by some of the more unique recipes out there.

The one particular recipe above (Turkey & Smoked Bacon Pie – #6 from Oct 14, 2011) inspired me to create a new weekly post called “Interesting Recipes from Across the Interweb”, in which I’ll take some of the more unique/intriguing recipes I find on FoodBuzz, or any other website I come across during the week, and post them on the site.

Whether you think they look delicious or totally gross (I wasn’t really sure about this one until I ready Juls’ post), a few other recipes that caught my eye this week were:

Thai Coconut Soup – Food Network

Homemade Chicken Soup with Herbed Matzoh Balls – Taste with the Eyes

Buffalo Sloppy Joes - The Dainty Chef

ENJOY!

And feel free to provide me any feedback if you decide to cook up any of these dishes.
