Trunk or Treat is almost here!
This Saturday (October 29th), starting at 5:30 P.M., we are requesting that everyone that is working or going to pass out candy to be at the Shelter and in place.
Kids will already be out of school, dressed, ready to go and parents will be off work, ready for a fun, safe and Christian night of Trunk ‘r’ Treating with the little ones!
Come and help pass out candy (even if you didn’t get to sign up) … Everyone is welcome!
There are so many rewarding moments….
- A chance for Mt Mitchell to shine
- A chance to show our love for the community
- A chance to show our love for each other
- Seeing those sweet, sweet, little sugary smiles!
You know you don’t want to miss it….
Now…….. in case you are one of the ones who is taking a kidlet through:
Oh, the candy!
The lovely, lovely candy!
But my poor, little sweet grand-tater-baby can’t eat ALL of that!
And oh! His grandpa sure doesn’t need it all either……
Soooooooooooo………
Let’s share!
–
Candy Bar Meringue Torte
- 6 egg whites
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 4 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 ounces each), coarsely crushed, divided
- Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Using a pencil, draw a 10-in. circle on each of two sheets of parchment paper. Place each sheet, pencil mark down, on a baking sheet or pizza pan; set aside.
- Add vanilla and cream of tartar to egg whites; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.
- Spread into 10-in. circles on prepared pans. Bake at 225° for 50-60 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Turn oven off; leave meringues in oven for 1 to 1-1/4 hours.
- Just before serving, place whipped topping in a large bowl; fold in three candy bars. Place one meringue layer on a serving plate; top with half of topping mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining candy bar. Yield: 12 servings.
Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. + standing
