Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 red apples
  • 100 grams white chocolate
  • 6 wafers
  • 1 teaspoon strawberry jam
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 6 pretzel sticks
  • 6 strawberries
  • 1/2 watermelon
  • 4 cherry tomatoes
  • 37 candy eyes

Instructions

Poison apples

  • Melt the white chocolate.
  • Place the white chocolate into a piping utensil or bag.
  • Shape the eyes and the nose with white chocolate.
  • Then add the chocolate around the face.
  • It’s great if some of the chocolate drips a bit.
  • Allow to set.

Bloody wafer band-aids

  • Make a simple frosting using icing sugar and a tiny bit of water. You don’t need a lot, so mix a heaped tablespoon of icing sugar and a teaspoon of water. Adjust until you have the consistency you like.
  • Add the frosting to the wafers to resemble gauze in the middle.
  • Use a little strawberry jam for the blood.
  • Top with candy eyes.

Tomato eyes

  • Halve some cherry tomatoes.
  • Stick an eye on the rounded top of one half. You can use edible glue.
  • Add melted white chocolate to the other half. Alternatively, you can scoop the inside and fill it with cream cheese.
  • Top with a candy eye.

Watermelon worms

  • Slice the top of a watermelon.
  • Stick a metal straw into the watermelon.
  • Place your finger over the top of the straw and move it back and forth slightly.
  • You should be able to pull out a long piece of watermelon.
  • Place little candy eyes on top.

Strawberry brooms

  • Use a metal straw to make a hole at the top of your strawberries.
  • Insert the pretzel sticks.
  • Top the strawberries with candy eyes (you can use some edible glue).
  • Arrange all on a platter and serve.
