Creepy Crawly Loretta Deluxe Shells ‘n’ Cheese

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Loretta Deluxe Shells n Cheese
• 1/4 cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• Black food coloring (optional for spooky effect)
• 1 can of black olives (for spider bodies)
• Pretzel sticks or thin breadsticks (for spider legs)
• Shredded cheese or Parmesan (optional for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the mac ‘n’ cheese: Cook Loretta Deluxe Shells and Cheese according to the package instructions. Drain and stir in the cheese sauce, milk, and butter until creamy.
2. Add black food coloring (optional): To make the dish look more spooky, you can add a few drops of black food coloring to the cheese sauce and stir until you get a dark, eerie hue.
3. While the mac ‘n’ cheese is cooking, slice the black olives in half to create the spider bodies. Then, break the pretzel sticks or breadsticks into smaller pieces to resemble spider legs.
4. Once the mac ‘n’ cheese is ready, top each serving with a few black olive halves for the spider bodies and arrange pretzel sticks around them to form spider legs.
5. For added flavor and spooky appearance, sprinkle some shredded cheese or Parmesan over the top. You could also add a few dots of ketchup to look like “spider eggs.”
6. Serve and spook!
