Mummy Pops

Well, I went completely out of my comfort zone on this one!!  My friend Nancy from Always a Story had posted a pic of some adorable chocolate covered Oreo Mummy pops.  Well, my son's 5th grade class was having a bake sale to raise money for a class trip in the Spring and I thought, "I can do that!". HA!

There were also a few different versions on Pinterest.

You can find them both on my Halloween board, http://www.pinterest.com/co11een903/halloween/

First, let me just say that I have never, ever even melted chocolate before. I have never put a stick into the creme filling of an Oreo. Both are harder than they seem.

Lots of Oreos were hurt and consumed during this production.

I had to make grooves in the creme then dip a stick into the chocolate and then sandwich the cookie back together. Carefully. They break EASILY!

They take a bit to completely harden.... don't try to move them until they are 100% hardened!

The 1 million pieces to the Mummy heads, from Scrappy Dew

The finished product! I wrapped a glass jar in gauze and added some paper eyes with red pearls! Dumped a small bag of rice in there so they wouldn't all flop around too.

On the inside, it just gives a description of what it is and what I used to make them (allergy purposes)

I couldn't fit them all in here, so the extras went in a bag so we could replenish the supply as needed.

I am happy to say that they sold out within the first hour, jar and all!! The nurse wanted it for her office!!

All in all, a pretty good success!!

I did a double page LO of my Austin playing around with a soccer ball in the backyard back in '08! (YES, I know, I am a tad behind!! LOL)

Ticket 2 Ride

Happy Friday all!!!!

Hope you all had a fun but safe 4th of July! Me and the kiddos went to a super fun cookout yesterday and had a mini one ourselves today, complete with water balloons and frozen margaritas!! (Non-alcoholic, of course!)

It is so hot here that we came in to escape the heat for a bit and take a break. Some read, one napped and some watched TV. I scrapped! I wanted to finish my latest GDT project for Scrappy Dew!

Here is a 2 page LO using Scrappy Dew's "Carnival Theme Park-2012".
These pics are of my oldest, now 10 1/2, back when he was about 4 1/2. 
Hey, at least I'm making a dent! LOL!

These will be the first 2 of 4 I think.I still have a lot of pics, and a lot more of this file to play with, it's HUGE!!! Love it!!!

My pic is a bit crooked because the cement was so hot I was hopping from foot to foot because it was burning my feet! OUCHIES!

As always, thanks for coming by and leave me some love!
