Marshmallow bunnies

A few years ago a friend made some children I know bunnies similar to these.    The children enjoyed receiving them. A major challenge with these bunnies was to then get the children eating them.  Most thought that they wanted to save them for later. Sometimes they actually got the bunnies home.  Other times there was no way that was going to happen.

Ingredients

• Marshmallows.
• Scissors
• Tooth pick
• Food Colouring
• A little icing sugar if needed.

Method

1. Hold the marshmallow in your fingers so that while you are using the scissors the Marshmallow will have less chance of moving.
2. To make the ears:
1. Using the scissors make a diagonal cut towards the rim edge of the Marshmallow .
2. Stop before you get too near the top end of the Marshmallow.
3. Gently lift the corner that you have snipped.
4. Now snip along the middle of this piece. 
5. Rub a little of icing sugar between your fingers.
6. Separate the ears and angle them both outwards.
3. To make the tail.
1. Starting at the point of the first cut you made for the ears.
2. Snip down towards the back [away from the face direction] until you are about half way down the back of the Marshmallow. 
3. Pinch the end of this segment so that a cute little tail is made.
4. For the bunnies face [ and feet]
1. Starting about midway between the face and the where the front feet will be - snip about 0.7 cm [1/4 inch] towards the middle /bottom part of the body.
2. The upper side of the cut has become the lower jaw line of the face.
3. Snip the flap of the marshmallow in half. 
1. There are you two front feet.
5. Using a toothpick and a little food colouring - dip the end of the tooth pick into the dye.
1.  'Paint' a face on the bunny.

Gory Hand

Besides being able to eat the hand this is a great decoration to scare your friends. Other hands are inedible while making terrific table and room decorations.

Make a strong cherry or other red Jelly by using 3/4 of the recommended amount of water.

   2.     Hang a clean rubber glove over the sink by using clothes pins attached to thin 

strips of wood. 

           - If the glove has a fur like lining turn the glove inside out ... especially if the end result hand is to go into liquid as a display / ice cube. 

  3.      When the jello has cooled pour into glove and place in the deep freeze. 

  4.     Be careful not to have the hand pressing against anything or it will ruin the shape. 

  5.     When the Jelly is frozen cut the glove off using small scissors. 

  6.    Keep your masterpiece in the fridge until ready to display. 

        -Or place the hand inside the wacky witches brew.
