I made these adorable Halloween Monster Candy Kabobs for my Halloween Monster Mash Floats, but I thought I would add a separate post about them and the many different ways you could use them! I put them in my Halloween Monster Mash Floats as a garnish or swizzle stick, but you can make these Halloween Monster Candy Kabobs and wrap them up individually in cellophane to give out as a favor at a Halloween party!
Or you can make mini versions and use them as cake toppers! Can you imagine little ears, eyeballs, and teeth on top of cupcakes?
I know some people insist on soaking the skewer sticks or spraying them with a non-stick spray to make candy kabobs, but honestly, I say don’t bother. The only tricky part about these is when working with a skinny piece of candy, like the ears. You basically simply thread a small portion of the back of the ear onto the skewer instead of going through the entire piece of candy through the middle. Plan on having a few extras in case you don’t go deep enough and end up ripping through the back without threading it all the way through. In case it helps, I think I ripped through 3 ears when making these and I made 8 kabobs.
And if you make some Halloween Candy Kabobs to use as favors, swizzle sticks, or cupcake toppers, please take a photo and tag me on Instagram! I want to see!
where did u find the gummy ears?
I’m pretty sure I found them at the 99 Cent Store and they smell and taste pretty yummy! You know yummy, for ears.
