Ingredients
- 1 9-inch refrigerated pie crust
- 1 roll refrigerated crescent dough (dough sheets work best when available)
- 1/2 14oz package cocktail wieners
- 8 frozen chicken tenders
- 1 cup frozen potato rounds (or tater tots)
- 8 frozen taquitos
- 1 cup frozen curly fries
- 1 cup french bread, cut in cubes
- 1-2 cups tortilla chips
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 garlic clove, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
- 2 cups queso white cheese (purchased)
Instructions
- Prepare the dippers first. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Unroll the pie crust and cut shapes out with cookie cutters. Unroll the can of crescent dough. Using half of it, cut shapes out with cookie cutters. Cut the remaining half into strips and wrap around the cocktail wieners. Place all of the cut outs and the cocktail wieners on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake until doughs are light golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
- Place all of the frozen foods ( chicken tenders, potato rounds, taquitos, fries) onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crispy. About 10 minutes.
- Prepare the cheese sauce. In a small non stick saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth, garlic, dry mustard, and worcestershire sauce. Heat over medium heat until it comes to a low boil. Reduce heat to simmer and whisk in the heavy cream.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch with both cheeses. Add the cheese to saucepan, in 3 parts, whisking continuously. Whisk until smooth and cheese is all melted.
- Heat the queso cheese in a microwave safe bowl or small saucepan.
- Place the cauldrons on the Halloween tray and fill with the cheese sauces. Arranged the dippers around the cheese cauldrons. Add the Halloween toothpicks to some of the bread, cocktail wieners, and potato rounds.
- Serve on Halloween plates and watch your little ones (and big kids) enjoy.
