Peanuts, Popcorn, and Marshmallow Edible Holiday Scene

Amanda and I had a yummy, crafty time making these. 

  Materials:

  Halloween candy
  Christmas candy
  Popcorn
  Marshmallow shapes
  Unsalted peanuts
  Waffle cones
  Ice cream cones
  Icing
  Edible Glue
  Gel food coloring

I made peanut snowmen magnets/pins a few years ago. This prompted me to come up with an edible version for the holiday scene.  These snowman peanuts are coated with our edible glue, the eyes are Wilton's icing coloring.

We glued a cheerio on the bottom of the penguin and snowman to serve as a base.  The penguin's hat base is also a cheerio but the snowman sports a circle cut from Fruit Stripe gum.  The noses are made by dipping a toothpick into gel food coloring.  Use a pair of scissors to cut the top hat and scarf from gum.

 Popcorn makes picture perfect snow.

The sleigh is made with two candy canes glued together with icing.  The base is an Almond Joy leftover from Halloween with a big, round gum drop as the back of the seat.  Santa's bag is made from the base of an ice cream cone and filled with jelly beans.  The little mouse atop the sleigh is just a peanut sitting sideways. Did you see that little gingerbread man and those Christmas tree reindeer?  Those are store bought mini-marshmallow shapes.

Waffles cones iced with jelly beans.

Here are some edible crafts from the blogosphere.
