DIY: Halloween treats that aren't too tricky
Creating your own DIY treats can be a fun and easy project for the entire family. Whether you are planning a big Halloween party or a small get together with family and friends, my crafty friend Adeina Anderson has some yummy ideas!
Witch Fingers
Items Needed
Directions
Melt the candy using a Wilton melting pot or your microwave, just follow the instructions on the bag.
Choose a color and fill the mold. Use one color for the fingernail and another color for the finger.
Place the pretzel rod into the mold and then fill the remainder of the mold with more melted candy. Scrape the top of the mold with a butter knife to smooth it out. Place the filled mold into the refrigerator for about an hour to harden. The hardenedtreat should just pop out of the mold very easily. As always, remember to get creative and have fun enjoying this yummy haunted treat
Ghostly Cupcakes
Items Needed
Directions:
Place the brownie bites onto a toothpick or lollypop stick. Using the white icing pouch, cover the top of the brownie bite and the top of the cupcake. Place the other end of the toothpick or lollypop stick into the cupcake and place them in the refrigerator for about an hour. While the icing is hardening a bit, start to roll out your white fondant first, form it into a ball and then roll it until it is pretty thin, but still easy to pick up off the counter or cutting board.
Roll the fondant into an 8-10 inch round circle. Place the rolled fondant onto the cooled cupcake/brownie bite and push it in just enough to make it look like a ghost, you may need to cut a little bit off of the ends of the fondant. Now roll out the black fondant and cut a mouth and eyes to place on the head of the ghost. You could use some of the fun Wilton Halloween designed cupcake baking cups for a more decorated look.
Painted Tombstones
To create the Tombstones, use small wooden blocks or you can purchase wooden tombstones at your local craft store. Paint them with Deco Art American gray paint and write on them with Deco Art Paint Pens. Get really crafty and add painted flowers or pumpkins.
