Key Points

n
n
n
n
nIf you know the story of Hansel and Gretel, you might remember that the wicked witch in the story lives in a house decorated with candy – to lure little kids in.
n
n
n
nBut decorating the outsides of our houses with candy isn’t what this holiday is all about. Instead, how about decorating with candy:
n
n
n
nA gingerbread house – or a smaller, simpler, humbler graham cracker house
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nA cake or cupcake or cookie
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nA dessert pizza
n
n
n
n
n
n
nAn ice cream sundae
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nA pancake or waffle
n
n
n
n
n
n
nA table setting or centerpiece
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nUnique candy gifts, such as these topiaries or flower vases
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nA fantastical landscape
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nYou could have a cupcake- or cookie-decorating party. Before your guests come, gather a bunch of candies they can use to decorate. (Sugar sprinkles and marshmallows count as candy!)
