Bloody Cut Dessert

This year I really wanted to create something really gruesome to serve at a friends Halloween party. I came up with this recipe that was insprired by my childhood arch enemy Freddy Krueger. He was the terror in my dreams when I was a younger, chasing after me with those razor sharp claws.

I took a spin on the basic recipe for baklava. It reminded me of skin with its many layers of phylio dough. Once baked it has the crispy look of baked skin!!

Enjoy

Haha you should replace the blood with strawberry jam and blackberry sauce for the blood

Very Creative. I would suggest that you add the vanilla after the syrup has cooled otherwise you boil off all of the flavor. Vanilla is alcohol based and evaporates when boiled.

I'm slightly concerned that this person knows what baked skin looks like!

Just kidding. It looks great, and I love baklava.

Well, I will never look at baklava the same way again!

But these look great, and would be a fantastic Halloween or horror treat. Nice.

Btw, for any that may be interested, I earn my entire living from clicking on web advertisements 10 minutes a day. Well it does help that life is cheap around here, but anyway... If you want to give it a try, join for free and click a few ads..

Still, cheers for the baclava, love it! (pity I'm avoiding carbs on my diet)...
