Halloween [Candy] Corn Casserole

[Rock LaRue]

I have a nice little Halloween dish for you all. This is a great one to bring to parties because people look at it all weird and then they try it and beg for the recipe! It's pretty rich though, so I wouldn't recommend taking it to any Halloween bashes where lots of alcohol is involved. You might have your own personal zombie apocalypse on your hands . . . and on your feet . . . and your pants . . . and the walls.

This is a joke, right?

No.

 

[jkath]

um, pardon if this is an obvious answer, but, if it truly isn't a joke, then why would one go to the trouble of making jell-o is it would then be baked?

let's see...corn, fruit, chive, onion, peanut butter, jello & eggs.
please be a joke... please be a joke...

The creamed corn and cream cheese together are pretty liquidy. The gelatin serves as a thickener/bonding agent and the lemon flavoring adds a zing to the flavor without curdling the cream. Otherwise, you'd have corn and cheese soup . . .

Oh, come on.

This is one you have to see and taste to believe, obviously. I don't mean to be rude, but as you said, people look at it all weird. Well, we are looking at it all weird.

 

[Roxy]

No way would I try that recipe!

The only ingredient I don't understand is this: 1 8oz. container Philadelphia Soft Chive & Onion cream cheese ~ why the chive and onion and not regular?

So you don't have to add them yourself?

I have another casserole recipe that calls for the same thing.

LOL!

What I'm saying is that without the chives and onions, the dish doesn't sound too bad. I don't see the flavor point of chives with lemon and fruit.

I'm not sure alcohol would be needed!

ummm...

Sorry I'm jumping on the bandwagon-but this sounds disgusting! Maybe it's just because I hate lemon jello, or maybe not...I don't have the urge to try it, but if it works for you then that's what it's all about!
