Spooky Homemade Horse Treat Decorating:
Horse Treat Decorating Ingredients
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 3-4 tablespoons of water
- green food coloring
Spooky Homemade Horse Treat Decorating Instructions:
STEP 1
Mix powdered sugar with water. The consistency should be glaze-like, so it runs over to cover the entirety when you pour it over the treats.
STEP 2
Add green food coloring to the icing to the desired color. Pro Tip: Adding a bit of black to the green will give a more realistic witchy color.
STEP 3
Glaze the treats by adding the icing to a sandwich bag, nipping off one of the corners, and drizzling it over the goodies. The icing should spread to cover the entire “finger.”
STEP 4
Place almonds (fingernails) on the end of the fingers while the icing is still wet.
STEP 5
Once the icing is surface dry, dip a tiny paintbrush into your green food coloring and draw wrinkles on the finger knuckles and along the top and bottom of the finger.
STEP 6
Let the goodies sit to dry. The thickness of your icing glaze will affect the dry time but anticipate an hour.
Whallah! You’ve made spooktacularly horrifying witch-finger Halloween barn party horse treats!
