Frankenstien Faces














Mine on the left and Better Homes and Garden's on the right. I have to say that I don't think either of these versions are perfect. But the idea is really simple, fun for the kids to do. Take some time to look at candy in the store and get creative.

Ingredients

Canned vanilla icing
Green food coloring
Graham cracker
Chocolate sprinkles HAIR
1 Sathers Cherry Sour Candy or M and M's for EYES
Small mint patty or black licorice EYEBROWS
1 candy-coated chocolate candy or sour worm for NOSE
1 Twizzlers Chocolate Twist candy strip or red sour straws for MOUTH
Black decorating gel for SCARS
Twizzlers Nibs licorice bits for BOLTS (not pictured)

Directions
1. Use green food coloring to tint the icing green. Frost the graham cracker with the green icing. Add chocolate sprinkles to the top of the cracker to resemble hair.
2. Use a sharp knife to cut the Cherry Sour candy in half for eyes. Place on the cracker as shown. OR use to M&M's.
3. Cut the mint patty in half for eyebrows and place each half over eyes as shown. Or cut a section of licorice for eyebrows.
4. Use the candy-coated chocolate candy or a sour worm for the nose.
5. Use scissors to cut a 1-1/2-inch piece from the Chocolate Twist candy strip. Cut the strip in half lengthwise and use one of the pieces for the mouth. Press the candy in place. OR cut sections of red sour straws to make lips with some sutures.
6. Use the black gel to add pupils, and sutures. Use icing to add licorice bits as neck bolts.
