MAKE A SNAKE SANDWICH
I saw Paula Deen make this on Foodtv for a Halloween show and it looked like so much fun. DS and I did have a blast making it. DS thought it was so great to have a snake for dinner. More fun with food! :) Change the meats & cheeses to whatever tickles your fancy. I mostly "eyeballed" when making this so not sure if I used the exact amounts specified. I didn't need a whole bell pepper so got a couple of strips from the grocery salad bar. Now what to do with the rest of the jar of olives!?!

- Prehat oven to 375°F.
- Line a cookie sheet with foil, grease and set aside (or use non-stick foil).
- Dust a flat surface with flour and spread out the crescent dough being careful not to separate.

- Fold lengthwise, 1 side of the dough over the filling to the center of the meat/cheese mixture.
- Fold the other side over and press the dough to seal in the filling.
- Lightly beat 1 egg yolk.
- Brush the egg yolk over the top of the dough to "glue" the pieces together.
- Fold the dough lengthwise in half again, pinching the seam to seal.
- Taper one end of the snake to make a tail and form the other end into a head.
- Beat the remaining 2 egg yolks and separate into 3 small bowls.
- Add food coloring to each bowl to make colors of your choice.
- Using a pastry brush (or paintbrush), paint stripes, dots or the design of your choice onto the snake with the egg yolk mixture.
- Transfer the snake to the foil-lined baking sheet.

Steps:
- Mix all venom sauce ingredients well and set aside. Heat oil in a deep fryer (or dutch oven) to 350°F.
- Mix together the paprika, garlic, cayenne, black pepper, and salt. Place the cube steaks onto a cutting board and sprinkle with half the seasoning. Turn them over and repeat (you can pat the seasoning into the meat if you like). Cut the meat into 2" cubes.
- Place the flour into a plastic grocery bag or large bowl. Add a handful or so of rattlers and toss or shake gently to coat. Do enough for one batch at a time.
- Shake off excess flour and place a batch of bites into the oil in the deep fryer (do not overcrowd them) and fry for 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and repeat with remaining pieces. Serve with venom sauce and enjoy.
- NOTE: You can also skewer the floured steaks alternating with chunks of floured onion (same flour used for the steaks) and deep fry them that way. :).

SLITHERING SNAKE ROLL
There's nothing sinister about this snake. It's filled with meat, sweet red pepper and cheese. You can paint the pizza dough any color or leave it plain.-Jaclyn Scanlan, Dayton, Ohio
