Martha’s Halloween Treats.
Everytime I think to myself that I just can’t take Martha Stewart anymore, she comes up with a neat idea. Check out her recipes for Halloween “Creepcakes”:
As with ALL of Martha’s projects, you have to be really organized AND live near great craft and baking supply stores:
RESOURCES
Black sanding sugar (#601344), $1.99 for 4 oz., from Sweet Celebrations, 800-328-6722 or www.sweetc.com. Candies from Dylan’s Candy Bar, 646-735-0078 or www.dylanscandybar.com.
DECORATING TECHNIQUES
To decorate, use marshmallows and candy-coated chocolates for whites of eyes; jelly beans or gumdrops for peepers with an eerie glow. For pupils, paint on melted chocolate (microwave 1/2 cup chocolate chips for 1 minute). Or use candies whole: candy-coated chocolates will stick to marshmallows sliced to expose their stickiness; for our aliens’ eyes, we pushed chocolate chips, tip down, into marshmallows, then made a hole in the other side with a toothpick and inserted a licorice lace. Cut gummy tape for an eyelid. Sandwiched between halved gumdrops, marshmallows form a toothy grin; snip irregular pieces for fangs. Bend licorice or gummy rings into grimaces, or cut taffy tape for a tongue or tentacles.
Try these toppings:
- marshmallows
- licorice and jelly bean
- gummy ring
- taffy tape
- gumdrops and marshmallows
- marshmallows with licorice and mini
- chocolate chips
- jelly beans with melted chocolate
- marshmallows and candy-coated chocolates or melted chocolate
- marshmallows with candy-coated chocolate or gummy
- tape and licorice drop
- licorice with gumdrops or marshmallows
This looks like it could be really fun to do with your kids.
