I cannot tell you how excited I’ve been for this Thursday.
As excited as I was for the secret theme of the month- the Gravestone recipes.
But times a hundred. Easy.
Traditionally on the closest Thursday before Halloween I’ve made homemade candy.
I’ve done sour patch candy.
I’ve done red hots.
I’ve done seafoam. That one was a trip.
And then it started to rain on the closest Thursday to Halloween. For like 4 years running.
Just like frosting, candy doesn’t really like humidity.
I’ve decided to take it back a notch this Thursday before Halloween.
I’ve done more classic candies.
I made butterscotch haystacks that have not yet solidified.
Rude.
I did caramel popcorn balls.
I did clodhopper candy. Which was created/discovered by a candy company in Canada. This is crushed graham crackers, roasted and salted cashews, and melted white chocolate chips. This one dried well, I’m not sure what is up with the haystacks.
The one I am most excited for is the brownie cauldrons. I made brownies in a mini muffin tin and, just after I pulled them out, made a well in each with a measuring spoon. I will fill this well with green frosting in the morning, it doesn’t look like rain, with green candy “bubbles”.
Also on deck for tomorrow is the sweet and spicy bacon cracker bites. This is new and I can’t wait to try it.
Plus decor.
I had so much fun deciding on the candies, and making the candies, and deciding on the decor. I can’t wait!
