I found these adorable little coffins at the Dollar Tree and couldn't wait to fill them with a fun treat.
I only had a few so they were perfect for the ladies I visit teach.
I found that some of the caramel apples I made fit inside these little coffins. They had to be the small apples we picked from our local orchard.
I found these Halloween cellophane bags at Target last year.
I also found these at the Dollar Tree for the bigger apples.

Goulish fingers
I made these for Ethan's carnival at school. Ethan wanted to make cookies this year instead of a cake and this is what he wanted to do. I found this cookie pan last year at Target.
I tried using regular frosting and chocolate to decorate these but it didn't look right so I had to use royal icing which is not my favorite. I personally don't like the taste but I was happy with how they turned out.
Tip: when not using the frosting keep it under a wet paper towel because it dried quickly.
This is what they looked like all done. I needed to package them by 6. It was a little squishy but it worked.

I first thinned out the colored icing just a little so I could pour it over the fingers (on a cookie sheet.) For the hairy monster I put sprinkles over it before it dried. Once they were dry I added the details. For the hairy one I used a paint brush to add red and brown to the white nail.
Here's the recipe I used
Ingredients:
- 4 cups (about 1 lb.) confectioners' sugar
- 6 tablespoons warm water
Makes:
About 3 cups of icing.Tip: when not using the frosting keep it under a wet paper towel because it dried quickly.
I used my Halloween Cricut cartridge to cut out a coffin to display them in.
