Handy Halloween Treat/Decoration

So I saw this years ago at a party I was attending, and loved the idea. It makes a great bagged treat, a neat decoration if placed around the house during a Halloween party, and a well contained travel treat for kids (slipped easily into the glove compartment). It's a very simple thing and only requires minimal ingredients, but may be adapted and altered for different affects.

Materials

For these ones I only needed popcorn, candy corn, non-elastic gloves, twizzlers, gummy eyeballs, and twist ties.

I took a glove and slipped a candy corn into each finger and thumb. Don't worry about orientation yet. You will be able to turn the candy corn and into position after filling in the popcorn.

Fill the glove with popcorn. Make sure to push it into each finger and thumb so that it fleshes out the hand. Seal the glove with a twist tie at the end.

Placement, Position, and Purpose

I used these treats when taking my nephew for a drive. It was a longish drive so I thought a fun treat would help the time pass. I closed the hand in the glove box.

However, this treat would be good placed around a house for a holiday party for decoration, or plated on a table for a treat.

Variations

This is adaptable for different affects. Instead of candy corn I used gummy eyeballs in the ends of one glove. In another I put twizzlers as veins.

Enjoy!

If you like this idea, I've entered into a the Halloween contest. Thanks.
