Halloween cake walk treats

Jill and I made these for our ward Halloween cake walk.
We thought it would be fun to have smaller portions of treats and make
it so more kids could win.
This is what we came up with besides the already blogged about fingers:

Halloween pretzels.  Danella gave me these molds.  They were fun to do but took some time.

Monster/zombie marshmellow pops.

I got these little Frankenstein cups last year after Halloween and was happy to have a reason to use them.

Jill had the idea to add hair to these little friends.  These were super simple and fun to do.  We used sixlet sprinkles for the eyes and edible markers for the faces.

I had to include these pictures that Richann made for us.  I loved them so much and want to remember to do them next year.  She used orange chocolate to cover the marshmallow and black chocolate for the face.

This is how she displayed them.  Cute! Cute!

These are Shan's zombies.  She used the giant marshmallows.  I love how these turned out!

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.

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:

• 3 tablespoons Meringue Powder 
• 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.

This is what they looked like all done. I needed to package them by 6. It was a little squishy but it worked.
