These aren’t “fresh cut” flowers, but they are freshly made!!

SPRING FLOWERS

~ Butter Cookies ~ Vanilla Candy Coating ~ Food Coloring ~
~ Melty Mints ~ Green Gum Drops ~ Bamboo Skewers ~

Stop, smell and eat the flowers!!!

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO:
To make Spring Flowers you need to start by melting the candy coating.
Add whatever food color you would like for the flowers.
{Mine were pink and blue…leftover from a project I did for Kellogg’s. Shhhhh.}

Coat the butter cookies and place on wax paper until dry.

Use the candy coating as “glue” and glue the melty mints to the top of the cookies.
{It helped to cut off the tips of the mints.}
Flip the cookies over when dry.
Take a bamboo skewer and stick a green gum drop on the point end.
Glue the gum drop to the bottom of the cookie and let dry.

Fill a small pot with rice and arrange your flowers.

I served these at my daughter’s birthday party.
FUN FUN FUN!!!

To make the bracelets, I used a regular threading needle and stretchy jewelry string.  Just get assorted soft candies and create whatever designs you would like!  The gummies were super easy to push the needle through.

Get creative and have fun!!!

Boil some eggs, grab some ham and whip up some “so ugly, they’re cute” naked mole rats!!

NAKED MOLE RAT{s}

~ Boiled Eggs ~ Ham ~ Cream Cheese ~ Olives ~ Almond Slices ~

Actual Naked Mole Rat:

Not so attractive….and yet he was SO cute on Kim Possible.

SEE???  Super cute!!!

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO
To make the Naked Mole Rat, boil some eggs.
Once they are cooked, peeled, dried, and cooled, cut them in half.

Take slices of ham and cut them in half. {depending on the size}
They should be big enough to cover the egg.

Lay ham on a piece of plastic wrap with the egg on top:

Pull plastic wrap up so the ham is covering the egg and twist tightly.

Set them in fridge for an hr or so for the ham to take shape.

Unwrap them and set them on a plate.  I had to pat mine dry because the ham was still wet.  Roll tiny balls of cream cheese for the eyes and then press tiny pieces of olive into the center.  A tiny piece of olive is used for his nose.  Stick two almond slices into the ham/egg for the teeth.  Cut a tiny strip of ham for the upper lip.

Assort on platter and serve.

These “spoiled” eggs are complete with chunks of yuck, smothered in maggots!!

100 YR OLD EGGS

~ Eggs ~ Sausage ~ Cheese ~ Boiled Egg ~

My girl’s couldn’t eat it all…they were grossed out by the color!!
YESSSSSSS!!!

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO
Mix up eggs the way you would for scrambled eggs.  Add some blue food coloring till you get desired color. {Blue + Yellow eggs = Green} Scramble eggs as usual.  Add pieces of sausage, ham, or any other meat, cheese, veggies or whatever your child will eat.  Once out of the pan, grate a boiled egg on top to make the maggots. {I thought egg would work better since grated mozzarella cheese would have melted.}

De-spoil-lish!!

EYE-NORMOUS

~ Boiled Eggs ~ Beet Juice ~ Black Beans ~

Mmmmmm.  Yummy.

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO

Items Needed:

Boil your eggs, peel and cool.  Cut a tiny hole into one side and press a black bean into it for the pupil.  {You can also use olives or whatever you have on hand.}  Take a sharp knife and cut a zig-zag pattern or any pattern you would like for the red lines. I used a child’s medicine syringe for the beet juice. {Looks like blood though!! Girl’s were apprehensive when they saw the juice filled syringe!!} You could also use red food coloring.  Next carefully apply the beet juice into the tiny cracks.  I blotted the excess juice on the egg with a napkin after every completed zig-zag.

I propped the eyes up in glass tea light holders.  I have never used those glass tea light holders for their actual purpose!!  I got a pack of 12 at Ikea for like $2.  Cheap and so handy!!

I am loving coming up with creepy spooky Halloween Nummies!!

MONSTERS ON A STICK

~ Apple ~ Marshmallows ~ Raisins ~ Choc Chips ~
~ Cheese ~ Cherry Tomato ~ Grapes ~ Pretzel Stick ~

Huge hit with the kidos!!!

CLICK BELOW FOR MORE INFO

To make this one eyed monster:

Stuff a raisin into a regular marshmallow and then stick a skewer through it for the eye. Cut triangles into slices of apple for the mouth. The tongue is a slice of grape.  Skewer one slice of apple next, then the grape, and lastly the other slice of apple.  Stick the skewer into half of an apple to make it stand up.

To make this snake-eyed monster:

Cut a raisin in half and stick the halves into a reg marshmallow.  Skewer the marshmallow.  Use two apple slices with peanut butter and choc chips on them for the mouth. Skewer both of the apples. {I have a mini marshmallow in between the apple slices to make it look like he was chewing on an eyeball. Didn’t really work, but it’s shown in the pic.}  I used 3 mini marshmallows on the bottom of the skewer so the apple slices wouldn’t fall off. They were heavy due to the choc chips. After you have everything skewered, cut a grape almost completely in half for the eyes. Fold them back and smear peanut butter into the crease and wrap it around the skewer for the eyes. Stick the skewer into half of an apple to make it stand up.

To make this wide eyed, forked tongue monster:

Cut some cheese into eyebrows and skewer.  Cut a marshmallow almost completely in half and bend back. Smear peanut butter into the crease and wrap around the skewer. Stick choc chips into the marshmallow for the eyes.  A cherry tomato on the skewer makes the cute nose.  Use apple slices and cut teeth into the peel for the mouth. Skewer one apple slice.  Cut some cheese into the shape of a forked tongue and skewer.  Skewer the next apple slice and then stick into a half of an apple to make it stand up.

HOW FUN IS THAT?!?
