GRAVEL DIP



Gravel Dip image

This recipe is tedious to prepare, but well worth the effort. When all the ingredients are chopped fine & combined, it looks like multi-colored gravel. This "dip" is great served with tortilla chips, or add to your favorite omelet, use as a relish topping for burgers or hot dogs, also good on a salad. Note prep time includes chill time.

HALLOWEEN GRAVEL (FUDGE CANDY)



Halloween Gravel (Fudge Candy) image

I got this recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens website. I placed the fudge "rock" candies in a crystal centerpiece, and then scattered a few pastic spiders for a quick Halloween decoration. I didn't eat the candy myself, but my kids said they were pretty good (and they were gone in a matter of hours, so they must have been pretty good). Even if you don't eat them, these are a handy treat to use for enhancing your Halloween decorating. Cooking time includes minimum chilling time. The recipe make about 2 1/4 pounds of candy, or about 80 rock-shaped fudge candies.

You could also call this bean salad Empedreado - which just means gravel or pavement in Spanish. Adjust the amount of the vinegar to suit your tastes.
