Monster Toes
Get ready for a fun and creepy Halloween treat with these giant
monster toes! RCI member Water's Edge Chocolates transforms chocolate-covered
Twinkies® into delightfully grotesque monster toes, complete with an
edible chocolate toenail and chocolate jimmies to look like crazy hair. Perfect
for Halloween parties or just for some spooky fun, these giant toes are sure to
bring laughs and tasty bites!
Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies
Turn classic chocolate-covered sandwich cookies into
festive pumpkins! Simply dip cookies in orange chocolate and decorate as you like.
We love the fun, whimsical touches used to decorate these pumpkins, from the
misshapen googly eyes to the pecan stems. The possibilities are endless if you
look at what you have on hand. Stick them on lollipop sticks for easy handling!
Frankenstein Crisp Rice Treats
Give your Rice Krispie® treats a spooky makeover! Dip treats
in green chocolate and once set, add milk chocolate for hair, a jagged mouth
and googly eyes. Add mini pretzel sticks to sides for his bolts.
These fun and easy ideas will add a delightful twist to your Halloween offerings. Make sure to share photos of your Halloween treats on social media and on your e-commerce site for greater exposure and sales potential. So grab your supplies, get creative and enjoy a sweet Halloween!
