More Ghoulish Treats

Homemade Guacamole Dip

Cook's Notes: If short on time could buy ready-made guacamole. Another suggestion is to replace Scoop chips with Blue Corn Tortilla Chips. 

The eyes came from Michaels in the baking section.

Cooking tip: Mashing avocados can be a bit of a pain depending on their ripeness. But I found a little trick in my utensil drawer that does the job just right. I use my pastry blender. It keeps the avocados chunky and mashes super quick. Give it a try.
Ingredients:

• 4 ripe avocados (they should be a little soft and the outer shell darkish in color)
• 1 cup Roma tomatoes,. diced and drained on a paper towel
• 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/4 cup red onions, diced
• 2 tablespoons prepared chunky salsa mix
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Dash of Tabasco sauce or Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

• Use a medium-sized bowl.
• Scoop out the avocado mixture and add the rest of the ingredients.
• Use a fork to mash and blend ingredients.
• Refrigerate for several hours before serving.
