Let me refresh your memory....
Candy Kebobs!
These are so cute because you can make use of all the bright colored gummy candies out there and they look great displayed on a tray or in a tall cylander vase. I bet Willy Wonka's mouth is watering right at this very moment!
Chocolate Andes Mint Tree!
This is a design I created in 2004. The funniest thing about this project is my memory of demonstrating it on the live local news. I had it pre-prepared the process in stages, one of which was a tree-shaped Rice Krispie Treat base that I was going to add the chocolate on to. Well, the station had a new anchor, and during the commerical break he walked over, said "I love Rice Krispie Treats!" - picked up the tree with his chunky man hands, and took a huge bite out of it! I squealed in horror and had only a matter of seconds to get my shizizzle together before the camera light turned on. I shooed him away, and quickly smashed the tree back into a tree shape the best I could, and then wiped my gooey hands off on the back on my expensive black skirt. The rest went off without a hitch. He didn't last too long at the station. Ironically, last I heard, he is working as a host for an HGTV show!
And last, here is my Snickers Tree.
I didn't invent this idea. In 2004, I was in New York City and I stopped in Dylan's Candy Bar (LOVE that place!) and they had the whole place decked out with these candy trees. They were $30-40 bucks and I decided to make my own for about $10.
Over the years, I've had hearty handfuls of candy-themed crafty ideas, but I didn't want to overwhelm you! Three is a good place to start!
