This is great :) How long do these keep well? I have to bring some treats next week for grad class Halloween party(lol, we have to be in character too as someone that influenced ecology/environment but I have no clue what yet). If I could make them Sunday for Tuesday I will use some of these ideas. I LOVE the ghosts!!
