sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

wow

I’m jumpin’ for joy! What an unexpected surprise! Thanks for adding me! BIG hugs to you Bakerella!

What did you use for the chocolate heads?

Tara, I used peanut m&ms!

Thanks! I’m in MI too! I got on the ball a little late…I can’t find ANY candy corn! I know I can get some online but I don’t think it will make it for next week. I’ll be better prepared next year:)

tara super target has a candy section that always has candy corn in it!

Tara – I am making these also, and I found candy corn in shoprite this afternoon, not sure where u live or if there is a shoprite by u…it is reguar candy corn not caramel, but i cant be choosey 5 days before thanksgiving…target did not have any

I would love to know how anyone finds heart sprinkles in November?? I had to buy stars and trim them to make them not so pointy, I also couldnt find candy coated chips anywhere, i am using butterscotch chips (incase any kids have peanut allergies, otherwise i would use peanut butter chips)

Thanks I found candy corn at Kroger. They have their own Kroger brand regular colored candy corn but I was so happy! I made some for my husband who’s deployed and I can’t wait for him to get them next week! You are right, I’m not choosy at all. I improvised and just used red candy melts and painted in the wattle in a heart shape and found some chocolate covered peanuts/raisins for the heads.

These are soooo cute! what did you use for the eyes?

what did you use for the faces to stick everything onto? …and the eyes and nose?

Linh I used the Americolor gourmet writer and made black dots. Allision I used Wilton sprinkles Rainbow chip crunch and picked out the orange ones for the nose.

I found the eyes at Bakers Delight here in MI. They come on a paper like those candy dots. It’s MUCH easier than coloring in with the marker. I made apples 1st w/ eyes, the hard way. To attach I just use melted chocolate , a toothpick and a tweezer.

These are the cutest things ever. I love little turkey decorations and these are edible, so even better!

Do you attach the m&m head to the wet chocolate or do you put it on after it dries? Thanks!
