"Poison" Caramel Apples


Make your caramel, candy, or chocolate covered apples look like "poison" apples simply by adding black food coloring.  Very fun for Halloween!  I added black sanding sugar for sparkle.. actually I added blue, purple, and black but they absorbed the dye from the caramel so it all ended up black.  So I'd suggest just getting black only if you want to add sparkle to your apples.  If not, they are just as spooky and "poisonous" without sparkle.  Have a safe and fun Halloween!

Lollipop Ghosts


BONUS VIDEO!  I got free lollipops, so y'all get a bonus video! 😃  This one is old-school, but today's generation of trick-or-treaters don't know that! 😉  I think they'll love it as much as I did when I was a kid.

Snow White Treat Bag & Party Favor



Dress up your treat bags, or gift bags, to match the birthday party theme character.  Change it up for any princess, super hero, etc.  I chose Snow White, so a "poison" apple candy bundle is the perfect party favor to go along with it.

Black Cat Napkin Folding


This black cat napkin fold is done the same as last year's Easter bunny napkin.  Just change the color, shorten the ears, and.. Voila!  I love to take an old project, change a few details, and come out with something very different!  This is perfect for Halloween... or... any day for an avid cat lover. 😼

Apple Trick-or-Treat Bundles


Viewer suggestion!  Thanks so much to Beth for suggesting apple trick-or-treat bundles in response to last year's pumpkin trick-or-treat bundles.  What a cute idea!  The leaf would be perfect as a name tag for your special trick-or-treaters.  I think you'll like the little trick for creating that leaf tag.  

These bundles are not only great for trick-or-treaters.  These would also make great treats as place cards at each person's seat for Thanksgiving dinner.  Another fun idea would be to give these as party favors at any Fall Festival or Harvest Party type of gathering.  I think I thought of another idea just now as I was typing this, for a themed birthday party favor!  I might do another video on that soon!  ðŸ˜‰
