Spooky Cookie month continues on Cookie Thursday is a Thing. Today’s make is bloody bandages.
These are operating room folks, and it is hard to gross them out.
No ick matter here!
Bloody Bandages
Sugar wafer cookies, the ones with the cream filling between thin crispy wafers.
white chocolate Candiquik. This is meltable chocolate that comes in a variety of flavors and colors and here in the United States it goes by that unfortunately spelled name, or some craft stores carry it for candy making. It melts fast in the microwave and smoothly.
toppings- for effect I used a combination of green sprinkles, and freeze-dried raspberries
I had to experiment a bit with technique. The first tray I laid the wafers out, melted the chocolate, tried to make a square of chocolate with a spoon, put the toppings on
This works but it gets messy as the chocolate begins to dry.
The second tray I had the wafer cookies in a stack, picked them up, spread the chocolate using a knife, added toppings. This worked much better and I was able to get a more uniform square of chocolate
What makes these bloody bandages is the rectangular shape of the wafer cookies, and the hopefully white square of chocolate. And the raspberry “blood”.
On some I added green sprinkles to simulate infection.
I think they are adorable, and they were very fast to make. I barely got through NPR morning edition podcast, which is about 15 minutes long. Seriously one of the fastest makes yet.
