Did you miss my other #HalloweenTreatsWeek posts? Here they are:Now onto the deliciousness that is known as #HalloweenTreatsWeek! This week I’m debuting 3 brand spanking new Halloween themed recipes. Today allow me to introduce to you: Eye of Newt Halloween Wands.
Eye of Newt Halloween Wands will make a great addition to Halloween parties. So easy to make, get the kids involved they can definitely help make them.
Basically these are store-bought “rock candy” sticks. I found mine at a party supply store, but I’ve even seen them at dollar stores. They came in the perfect Halloween colors I was hoping for: orange, green and purple.
This type of no-nonsense EASY as can be sweet treat is perfect for last-minute entertaining. Also great for those times when you’ve forgotten you signed up to donate a treat or anytime you are short on time. Quick, easy and fun, can’t beat that!
Next, I used candy eyeballs and black decorating icing from Wilton. They sent me a fantastic box of goodies that gave me loads of Halloween inspiration. Wilton is the place to find it all, do take a look at their website they have so many great holiday products.
What items do you need to make Eye of Newt Halloween Wands?
- Rock Candy Sticks
- Wilton Candy Eyeballs
- Wilton Black Decorating Icing
Some tips for making Eye of Newt Halloween Wands:
- Allow icing and eyeballs to dry completely before using.
- I used Pretzel Party Bags (for decorated pretzel rods). Also available from Wilton.
- They make Halloween party favors or table decor.
Simple steps to make Eye of Newt Halloween Wands:
Squeeze small dots of Wilton Black Decorating Icing randomly onto Rock Candy Sticks.
Press Wilton Candy Eyeballs into dots of icing. Allow wands to dry thoroughly. Store in an airtight container if not packaging immediately.
