A Basket Full of Sweets!

Hello, Glitterinas!

The grand~darlings and I love projects.

We also love sweets.

This project combines both of these things!

We're going to make Halloween candy skewers.

If you know someone, of any age, maybe yourself, who likes
candy and a bit of fun, this could be a project
you'd enjoy making and sharing.

Start with a basket full of sweets....


......items like gummy fingers and eyes, 
ghost, pumpkin, Frankenstein, and kitty peeps,
peach rings,
orange mint lifesavers,
and
pumpkin spice marshmallows
were in the basket.

We also used the medium length wooden skewers.

The short would not hold enough goodies and 
the long would take too much.....so, medium
hit the spot!

We laid all the sweet treats out on our work table,
took a paper plate to work on,
chose a skewer and began!

We decided to make our first skewer all together....

so we took turns choosing which item
would be used first, second, and so on.


Peeps make a good anchor item because they 
are nice and sticky on the skewer.

The gummy eyes were good anchors, too.

Then the other items just feed on in a pleasing order.


The lifesaver mint rings make a cute hat for 
the Peeps.

We just kept adding items until our skewers 
were full.

The pumpkin spice marshmallows make a nice topper for 
each skewer, too.

Here are some finished skewers.

Cute, huh?


The fingers and eyes are a bit creepy to me, but it 
is Halloween!  
The grands loved them!


My crafty grand~darlings loved posing 
with their Halloween candy creations.


Then when they thought they just couldn't stand it any longer......

chomp!

The candy was all sooo good!


Since they just ate the candy off of one skewer, there 
were no tummy aches!  And the fun lasted until the
next day!

Give these fun Halloween treats a try, 
Glitterinas!

They'll put a smile on just about any face!


Thank you so much for taking some 
time from your day to stop in here at 
Pink Glitter!

I appreciate you opening and reading this post!

Hugs and sweets,
Tammy
