Great idea for kid friendly snacking. I would make these year round and just mix up the face decorations.

What a great idea! My granddaughter loved them. Since it lists only almonds and cloves for face-decorating, I'd say the teeth are made from almonds.

I haven't made these yet, but, they are so adorable and healthy for you, too! What a cute idea!

These were easy to make and a huge hit! I think they are so clever and cute. I'd like to know what was used for the teeth on the one pumpkin. I cut the tip off candy corn and kind of mushed them in the opening.
