I shared this cute tutorial on how to make candy corn buttons in 2012 on the SNAP blog and I thought you would enjoy it so I had to share it with all of you!! Do you remember the nostalgic candy buttons?? You can still find them, I just happened to find them today Michaels!
Well how would you like to make your own?? This is really easy and fun! You can also change the colors for just about any other occasion or holiday!!
Are you ready to get started?
I used Martha’s recipe and instructions which you can find HERE.
I made a few changes I used plastic squirt bottles instead of plastic bags this worked great! If you don’t have bottles then go with the plastic bags! 🙂
First you will want to make your royal icing. a tip here is to make sure it is not too thick so it will flow easily to form the buttons!
I used Martha’s template to create my own in the shape of the classic candy corn! I also made some in the traditional strips!
Take your Wax Paper and place over the templates make sure the shiny side is down. Use tape to keep the was paper secure.
Then take your frosting and start making your “buttons”!
This recipe makes a lot of buttons!! These would be great for Halloween treats for your friends and family.
Here are the buttons in the traditional “Candy Corn” triangle shape!!
Aren’t these buttons adorable?
If you try these come back and leave me a comment! I would love to hear how yours turned out!!
