Gummy Zombie Hand Toppers

Have you seen the gummy zombie hand pops? I found mine at World Market, but I’ve seen them in grocery stores on the Halloween aisle.  Pick up some chocolate cupcakes, crush chocolate cookies as ‘dirt’ and stick on candy rocks.  Finish the hand coming out of the grave effect by drizzling red icing around its base.

Candy mold toppers

If you live by a specialty bakers’ shop or your local craft store, find a Halloween themed mold and use it to make candy toppers! I used my Frankenstein candy mold with green and black melts, and used a black food marker for his details.  I love to make candy toppers, candy melts are so easy to use and come in so many great colors!

Candy spiderweb toppers

Here’s another idea to use candy melts…make spiderwebs with Country Living! Use their template to trace with white candy melts…

Drizzle Edible Blood

Make a batch of The Girl Who Ate Everything’s edible blood and drizzle over white cupcakes! Eerily perfect and tasty too, made with corn syrup and coloring.

Candy Bugs

A classic and one of my favorites…using assorted candies and melted chocolate to make candy bugs! With fun sweets like assorted sizes of M&Ms and candied sunflower seeds, these creepy crawlers are a cute finish.
