Stranger Things Candy Carton Assembly Recipes

STRANGER THINGS DODECA-DEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• CHOCOLATE CRUNCH COOKIE:.
• Heat oven to 375.
• Cream butter and brown sugar in a stand mixer. Add molasses, salt, cocoa powder, and egg. Beat until thoroughly mixed and slowly add flour. Mix until a dough ball forms. Remove the dough from the mixing bowl, and roll out 1/8 inch thickness on floured cutting table.
• Using pentagon shape template, cut out as many shapes as you need (12 pentagons per cookie) and bake for 6-8 minutes.
• Once out of the oven, cover with parchment. Using a slightly smaller baking sheet, press down on cookies to ensure they are smooth.
• ROYAL ICING:.
• In a stand mixer, beat egg whites till frothy. Add sugar until desired consistency is reached.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Once cookies have cooled, assemble halves using royal icing. (This part is hard so be patient. I printed out the pattern, cut it out, and taped the edges together and trimmed about a 8th inch off the bottom points. Then, I flipped it upside down and assembled cookies over it. Once set, I removed it. There may be an easier way to do it, but this method worked for me.).
• After your halves have set and dried, glue them together using royal icing. Once that sets, use a dremel tool to perfect the edges, carve out one of the faces for the teeth, and created grooves along all the edges.
• Decorate it with royal icing and use some gold powder paint to highlight the desired areas.

STRANGER THINGS CANDY CARTON ASSEMBLY

Steps:

• You'll need:.
• • 8 1/2 X 11" Photo Paper.
• • Glue stick.
• • Scissors.
• • Exacto Knife or Razor Blade.
• • Straight Edge or ruler.
• • Binder Clips.
• On a cutting board, cut out the carton pattern using the exacto knife. Write out the 'to and from' section now if you want to ensure your handwriting looks nice.
• Once the shape is cut perfectly, use the straight edge and the back of your blade to score your carton where the folds will take place. Once done, refold everything being careful not to dent any of the flat surfaces. Use the glue stick to first seal the side seam.
• Once dry and set, you can glue and fold in the top section. I used several binder clips to hold it in place until it was dry. Don't seal the bottom until you're ready to fill with candy. The better your pre-folds are done and the dryer that first seam attachment is set, the easier folding in the top will be.

STRANGER THINGS STRAWBERRY BUBBLE GUM

Steps:

• In a large microwave-safe bowl, add gum base, Kool-Aid and corn syrup. Microwave for 30 seconds and mix. Microwave an additional 30 seconds and mix again.
• Create a pile of sugar on a non-stick surface and funnel out the center with your hand. Pour in the (very hot) gum mixture and begin to mix in sugar as it cools. Mix and twist your gum over and over until most of the sugar is incorporated. The longer you do this the chewier your gum will be. Roll out in 1/2-inch thickness and using a pizza or pastry cutter, cut into desired shape. Lightly toss in a bit of icing sugar before placing in your Valentine candy carton (recipe #530168).
