Spiffy Halloween Treats

#1- The Mummy- Uses 3 full-sized marshmallows, wrapped in fruit strips, with black piping gel for the eyes.

#2- The Purple People Eater- Is 2 oatmeal cookies sandwiched with mini-marshmallows & red gel inside. Iced in purple, with purple-tinted coconut. Use mini-fruit slices and licorice allsorts for the eyes and mini m&m's for the 'warts'.

#3- The Tombstone- A Cameo® cookie, trimmed, and black icing for the R.I.P.

#4- The Witches Finger- A circus peanut candy, with a bit of the top end cut out & a piece of a swedish fish candy stuck in it's place.

#5- Punkin'- An oatmeal cookie, iced in orange with orange-tinted coconut and various licorice pieces.

#6- Frankie- 1-1/2 full-sized marshmallows, with red & green piping gel, mini m&m's, and licorice pieces.

#7- Dead Dude- A trimmed chocolate graham cracker, with marshmallow pieces (put in micro for a VERY short time to melt just slightly so they will stick), then trim with red & green piping gel and mini m&m's

Here's another great idea, sent in by Nikki:

"Hi, Tracy!  Saw your ideas for halloween treats and thought I would add one more.  I buy Nutter Butter Cookies and dip them in melted white chocolate.   After dipping, I place 2 mini-choc. chips for eyes.  Also, I add one chip with pointy top down in chocolate for a mouth.  Makes a cute ghost! Nutter Butters are perfect because of their hourglass shape! Hope your readers enjoy this tip!

And, one from Lorine, who's in my Cake Club:

Using striped shortbread cookies, turn the cookie over so the stripes are on the bottom. Melt a bit of chocolate, and attach an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss to the center of the cookie with it. Then, pipe a simple band & bow out of orange icing (or melted candy). Voila! A Witches Hat.

 Fresh in from Christine C- she sent us some ideas via an email!

"Tracy, I was browsing through your website (I always check the message board but don't usually have time to just surf) and came across the photos for Halloween ideas.  You are welcome to add the attached photos from the party I had last year.  The cauldron is a round pumpernickel loaf with pretzel rods for logs and red and yellow peppers for flames.  The eyeballs are "Buckeyes" dipped in white chocolate instead of dark, with mini M&Ms for pupils and veins drawn in with food color.  The purple monsters are unwrapped cupcakes, covered in star tip 'hair'."
