I've made this casserole for 20 years but have always added a can of sliced water chestnuts and a cup of unsalted cashews -- those are the two ingredients people always comment on (in a very positive way!. Those two things make the casserole much more interesting.

I made these for my ten year old daughter's class Halloween party... when her older sister saw them, she begged me to make them for her class, too! They were so easy to make and so cute -- the teachers and office staff at the schools raved about how cute they were! I bought plain chocolate wafer cookies (Nabisco) for the wings, but did use the Hersey's kiss for the head/face and red gel for the eyes. The gel can be dotted on much easier than tube icing plus the gel has a glow which makes the eyes appear "scary". This recipe will be a Halloween tradition from now on.

Calling this the "World's Best Lasagna" is quite accurate! Very, very good, in fact, better than any Italian restaurant lasagna I've ever eaten. All other recipes have been ripped up and thrown out! (I didn't change a thing in the recipe except for the amount of salt -- used 1 tsp. instead of 1 tbsp.)
