Ever since I came across these cookies last year at Baking Bites, I have been wanting to make them! I am just a little crazy about all things vampire.

Halloween Treat: Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms
This recipe for Betty Crocker Witches’ Brooms came to me from Ava after my cinnamon witch’s broom turned out to be so difficult to make! Thanks so much Ava!

After my disastrous attempt to make a fortune teller’s ball I took Ava’s advice and sprayed it with cooking spray and gave working with gelatin another shot. Success! Spooky success, my favourite […]
