...so halloween had to be one of my least favorite holidays when i was a little kid....the thought of going up to strangers houses...knocking and then asking for a treat was kinda like a mini panic attack to someone who was a wee bit on the shy side as a kid....now that's no problem at all...only took 30 or so years to get over that (and working in the corporate world kinda forces you out of comfort zones anyway).....
.....that said halloween is really fun now with my kiddos and they love it....they are a little cautious as well...but they quickly loose any fear when it comes to gettin' some free candy....and the treats out in the blogosphere are pretty sweet around halloween time too....!
....and i think i've mentioned it plenty of times before....but we have lego freaks living here....so i knew these would be a hit around this particular homestead......
...it's a silicone ice cube tray but it works really well with candy melts/wafers.....and if you are crazy like me...you may take time to sketch out your master plan (does anyone else do this or am i the only looney bin?)....
...start with the colors you want the basic lego minifig to be....you can find the process for making these candy lego dudes here...just remember you need to work kinda fast and have the colors ready to go at the same time for each minifig......
...the kiddos loved these as mini pops...but you can also use them for cupcake toppers...or any other lego treats you can think of....i've used them on cakes...as valentine's day treats....and of course as cupcake toppers as well.....this mold has gotten a ton of mileage out of it for the 10 bucks or so that it cost....!
....and you get some pretty neat looking edible lego minifig dudes just for halloween....!!
....anyhoo hope you like them and thanks so much for stopping by....don't forget to enter to win the "halloween treat making care package" too---it's open til Oct 8th!...have a GREAT week!
Linking up to these cool sites (go visit or link up your own neat stuff!):

ReplyDeleteI love love love these! I'm going to have to buy that lego tray from your site. I didn't even know that existed! I live with a couple of true "lego freaks" too, so I know this is going to become a favorite around here. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Trayne1837 (don't have an email for you) but I got the tray from a lego store about a year or so ago...looks like you can order them online too at the lego store http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Minifigure-Ice-Cube-Tray-852771 or if you search "lego minifigure ice cube tray" there are other places to order from...GL!

Crazy cool! I thought we were brave attempting salt dough LEGO minifigures, but these take it to a whole new level! Wow!

Those are awesome! I also sketch out a plan before I start most projects. Although my sketches are usually so sloppy that no one can understand them, except me!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! I have the ice cube tray and never thought of this! The lego nuts in my house will love this!!!
ReplyDeleteQuestion: How do you get Black & Gray? Food coloring? Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThese ROCK! I knew I should've bought that tray when I was at the Lego store.. doh My Legomaniac son wants these right now. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteFor the black and Gray---i used wilton's candy melts in black (they are out around halloween time)....then for gray just added a tiny bit of black to some white...HTH!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! My 8 year old son would be going nuts if he saw these. I hope you'll stop by and link this post up to my Wickedly Creative Halloween Ideas Party.
