Creepy Crawlers
Fun and tasty little critters are actually sandwich cookies in Halloween disguises. Using vanilla frosting and decorative candies make it easy to create these eerie edibles.
Ingredients
-
1 16-ounce can vanilla frosting
-
1/2 teaspoon orange, cherry, lemon, almond or anise extract (optional)
-
3 to 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
-
Desired color paste food coloring
-
Small cookies with white filling such as chocolate sandwich cookies, peanut butter sandwich cookies, and/or miniature multicolored vanilla wafers

Black string licorice, jellied orange slices, yellow sprinkles, small decorative candies, and/or multicolored nonpareils
Directions
1.
Reserve 3 tablespoons of frosting; cover and set aside. In a medium bowl combine remaining frosting, desired extract (if using), and 2 cups powdered sugar. Knead in enough of the remaining powdered sugar to make a moderately firm claylike mixture. Divide into portions and knead in desired color food coloring. Keep mixture covered when not using.
2.
Make creative creepy crawlers, using clay mixture, cookies, and assorted candies. Attach pieces with reserved frosting. Makes 3 to 4 dozen crawlers

Halloween party fun begins with these edible pretzel snacks that kids can easily make. A little bit of American cheese spread acts as "glue" on the graham cracker treats.
