does anyone have an easy cannoli recipe with pistachios in it??

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup butter, softened
3 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
2-3 Tbsp. milk
1-1/2 cups flour
1/8 tsp. salt
24 cooked frozen meatballs, thawed
1/3 cup processed cheese spread
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
24 small slices mozzarella cheese
sliced pitted ripe or green olives
PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. For cream cheese pastry, combine butter and cream cheese until well mixed and beat in milk. Add flour and salt, mix well and shape into a ball. Chill at least 2 hours. Using about 1 tablespoon of dough, form into a small ball and press into miniature muffin cups to line the bottom and sides. Bake at 425 degrees 4-6 minutes until light golden brown. Cool. Makes about 24.
Combine cheese spread and cheddar cheese in a small bowl. Spoon a small amount of this mixture in the baked tart shells. Top each with a thawed meatball. Bake at 350 degrees 15 minutes until heated. Top each meatball with a piece of mozzarella cheese and place a ripe olive slice on the sour cream to create the eye. The cheese will melt and help hold the olive on the tarts. Makes 24

Kitty Litter Cake

This is truly gross looking; perfect for a Halloween party. For a picture, go to: Kitty Litter Cake.
INGREDIENTS:

18 oz. box spice cake mix
18 oz. box white cake mix
16 oz. pkg. white sandwich cookies
1 large box vanilla instant pudding mix
12-16 small tootsie rolls
1 litter box (a NEW one!)
1 plastic scoop
green food coloring
PREPARATION:

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions using 13x9" pans. Let cool completely. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions and chill until ready to assemble cake. Place sandwich cookies in a heavy duty zip lock plastic bag and hit them with a rolling pin until crumbled. Set aside 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs. Add a few drops green food coloring to the 1/4 cup crumbs and mix with a fork.
Remove the cakes from their pans and crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix gently with the cake crumbs until evenly moist. Put mixture into a NEW litter box that has been lined with plastic wrap.

Unwrap all the tootsie rolls. Place three of them in a microwavable dish and heat on LOW until soft and pliable, checking every 30 seconds. Taper the ends of the tootsie rolls, rolling them between your palms and curving slightly. Repeat with remaining tootsie rolls, heating them three at a time, and bury in cake mixture and place on top too. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top (this is for the colored granules in some brands of kitty litter).

2/3 c walnuts

place sugar, cornsyrup, and water in a heavy saucepan, cook and stir over medium heat untill sugar is dissolved. continue heating mixture without stirring untill it reaches the soft ball stage, 240 degress on a candy thermomater. meanwhile using an electric mixer beat egg whites untill stiff. pour half of syrup mixture into egg whites;beat while pouring. return remaning syrup to continue cooking untill it reaches the brittle stage,300 on thermametor. pour slowly into egg whites. continue beating mixture untill it reaches a non glossy stage when dropped with a spoon untill it holds soft peaks. if too stiff for mixer use a spoon for final beating. add vanilla and nuts pour into a buttered pan.
