Desserts Halloween Party Snacks

Ingredients:

  • 1 c Water
  • 1/2 c Butter or margarine; cut into pieces
  • 1 c All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 ts Salt
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 qt Orange sherbet
  • Confectiners' sugar
  • 16 Chocolate chips

Directions:

These puffs can easily be made in advance and filled just before serving. Just wrap the unfilled puffs tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store in a cool place for up to 2 days.
 
Bring water and butter to a boil in medium saucepan over high heat, stirring until butter is melted. Reduce heat to low; stir in flour and salt until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until mixture is smooth.
 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spoon about 1/3 cup dough onto ungreased baking sheet. With wet knife, form into ghost shape as shown in diagram. Repeat with remaining dough to form ghosts, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
 
Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
 
Carefully cut each ghost in half horizontally; remove soft interior leaving hollow shell.
 
Just before serving, fill each shell bottom with about 1/2 cup orange sherbet. Cover with top of shell; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Position 2 chocolate chips on each ghost for eyes.
