New Halloween Treats

We are steadily preparing for the Halloween party.  We added a couple more treats to our menu.  They will both be offered in the Etsy store within the next two days.

First up is my favorite Halloween candy.  Candy corn!  Pure sugar to put you over the edge.  

They will be loose.  I want to make a different bowl before listing them.


Ciana wanted to be the taste tester.  

"Mommy, what's that!" 
Ciana has caught a glimpse of the "fingers and dip".

She didn't want any part of this party treat.

This cute little lidded polymer clay basket hit the Etsy store yesterday.


The display table is now painted and will be hitting the store soon, too.

Can you believe Christmas is just over 2 months away?  It sneaks up on me every year.  So I am in the process of getting the store properly stocked for the season.  

The stories will continue, albeit a little sporadically for the moment.  Lots is still happening behind the scenes. Stay tuned!

  2. Love those treats, I didn't know them but I googled them and they look so real! I would love to try them (size 1/1 hehehe), they must be yummy! Here where I live we don't celebrate Halloween, but "Tosantos" (it means "all the saints"), and though we don't ask for treats, it is common to eat many kinds of nuts, dried fig cakes, baked sweet potatoes... during these days.

    1. Rossetti - I love hearing about different celebrations in other countries. Tosantos sounds a lot healthier than our Halloween. We celebrate with a lot of candy.

    1. A-Lise - I usually treat myself to one bag of candy corn for the holiday. I don't indulge in any of the other candy.

    1. Verona - Hopefully Ciana doesn't eat too much of the candy corn. She will have a sugar high for sure.

    1. Georgia Girl - They are fingers and dip. Just think of them as vienna sausage fingers. Hmmm, hmmm, good.

    1. Muff - Those fingers are totally edible. Made from the same stuff as potted meat, spam, and vienna sausages. All those things that should be banned from store shelves. LOL!

    Good luck with Etsy store sales.

    1. Heather - It is hard to put down the bag once you stop. Even though your jaws start tightening up from all the sugar. And yes, the tummy ache is inevitable.

  11. What are the fingers supposed to be? Gummies or something? I love the candy corn! It's making me really hungry!

    1. sislovessinging - I considered putting hot dog buns out with the fingers. They are the size of hot dogs, but more resemble the color of vienna sausages because I wanted them to look like real fingers. That's "ketchup" on the nails and in the bowl.

  12. Ciana is just adorable. Can’t say I blame her for shying away from the fingers and dip. Very spooky! You did an awesome job making those.

  13. Halloween isn't very big here - it's mostly for kids - so we don't have a lot of special Halloween treats like these. Yours look great. But ssh about Christmas - I don't want to know just yet.

    1. Carrickters - Adults tend to go all out for Halloween, too. Parties and haunted houses are very popular. Okay, I won't say another word about that big holiday coming up that will mark the end of yet another year. Yikes!
