All of your guests can fly high (sugar high that is) this Halloween with these fun broomstick favors. For each broomstick you’ll need:
- Two lunch-size paper bags
- Small branch (you could use a wooden dowel from the hardware store if you don’t have access to branches, but you’ll lose some of the spooky appeal)
- Black twine
- Candy
Steps:
- Unfold one bag and push out its base (don’t tear the bottom like I did the first time) while folding in the left and right sides (see how)
- Using scissors (or a rotor cutter and quilters mat if you have them), cut the bag into thin strips, stopping short of the base
- Cut thin strips into the top inch of the second bag
- Open both bags, and place the second bag inside the shredded one and fill with candy
- Insert a small branch 1 to 1 ½ inches into the bag; cinch the top and secure it closed with black twine

One of my favorite fall treats is the caramel apple. I used to buy the sheets of caramel from the grocery store… okay, I still do sometimes, but mostly I melt down my own so that I can decorate the apples with chocolate, nuts and even crushed candy bars. These are dipped in caramel and then rolled in Butterfinger candy bars and finally topped off with drizzled chocolate. As many treats as I make, I can’t eat them all, so I often package them up and give them away. These are best in clear cello bags with a nice ribbon.
