More dessert goodness

I'm certainly not the cook in our house, not for lack of skill, but Husband is so very good at it. My domain is dessert. This is an Everyday Food recipe from Mahtha Stewaht. These went over really well when we had some friends over for supper last week. On a side note, I had no intention of posting recipes here, but this was too good not to post, from Martha:

MAKES 6
2 packages graham crackers
3 milk chocolate bars (1 1/2 ounces each)
3 cups mini marshmallows
Chocolate ice cream
Vanilla ice cream

Heat broiler. Break graham crackers into squares, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Layer chocolate over a third of the graham-cracker squares; cover the remaining graham-cracker squares with marshmallows. Place under the broiler, and toast until chocolate is just melted and marshmallows are lightly browned, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Remove from oven, and while still warm, transfer a marshmallow-covered cracker to each serving dish. Add a scoop of chocolate ice cream. Top chocolate ice cream with a chocolate-covered cracker, and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top vanilla ice cream with another marshmallow-covered cracker, and drizzle with hot fudge sauce. Serve immediately.

Zombie Love

Okay, I was hesitant to make this my first actual post as it is quite disgusting, but I feel it expresses my love for homemade things as well as zombies. This was a birthday cake for a good friend who lets me indulge in my zombie fetish and doesn’t call me crazy. He too, appreciates all things zombies so it was only fitting this be a cake for him. I copied the idea from a post on the Craftster forum.
