so i went to dollar tree and was looking for green candy for a halloween treat i had in mind.
at first i had circus peanuts in different colors and was just going to use the green ones but circus peanuts? really? uhhh...so i kept looking.
and then i saw these:
holy cow! SWAMP MONSTERS IN A BAG?!?!
and for a dollar??? SCORE!
let's check 'em out shall we?
uhoh looks like the caramel distribution is not equal here...no worries, it'll still work and
what did i expect for a dollar?
ok so let's get these monsters awake.
why does this monster make me giggle instead of scream?
and look at all of them--
they're just chilling.
do they even look like monsters?
oh my!
that's more like it.
but they do have attitude so i'm gonna stick them in the fridge on top of their wrappers to chill out while
i continue with the treat making.
let's get some oreos and crush them and scatter them on a sliver circle tray i got at the dollar tree too.
and then let's melt some candy melts...
ok so we'll take the melted candy melt, pour it unevenly in drops over the crushed oreos,shake to smooth out the colors, and play with the colors to get a swamp lake...
ok so maybe i played with the colors too much?...
:>P
time to get those angry attitude swamp monsters out of the fridge and put them back where they belong,
in the water.
space them apart as shown:
keep going with the random spacing til they're all in the swamp lake.
hey you monster!
stop yelling!
you should be happy you are back in the swamp!
well if you don't like it, you can leave.
no wait!!! come back!
uh oh, i chilled them out in the fridge again but looks like i'm gonna have to separate them. they still look awful angry...
hey check out the cool bark layers!
golly!
i think these monsters need more time to chill out don't you?
