Halloween Treats for Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat!

It's that time of the year again and it has been our tradition to provide treats for the children at my daughter's school.

Last year we made marshmallow pops for the children. This year, we made cookie treats. I practiced making the royal icing for days using egg whites but failed all the time. I decided to try meringue powder and viola it was great. Tried different designs with it and loved how it turned out.  I am still practicing how to work with royal icing. Hopefully, I would be good at it when Christmas comes.


One other cookie I made was a butter cookie shaped into fingers. I separated the dough into two to color the other one with light green just to make it feel like a witch's hand.  I used sliced almonds for the nails and placed a jelly colored with red to make it bright as blood. To make it even look scary, smudge the other end of the cookie with the red jelly to make it look as if it was freshly cut. There is no need to worry if it is messy since its Halloween, the messier the jelly is the better as it adds effect. This method was done by yoyomax12 of Youtube, but the recipe she used was different.
