Ingredients

  • 150g sugar
  • 1 egg white from an extra large egg, or 2 from small eggs
  • 1 tsp corn syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 50g corn starch


For Decoration

  • Coloured sprinkles
  • Coloured icing
  • Food colouring, various colours
  • A fine paintbrush


1. Mix the egg white, corn syrup and vanilla together in a bowl.

2. Place the sugar into a second mixing bowl and slowly pour the liquid into it. Mix with your hands until a sandy dough forms. Lightly dust a surface with cornstarch, as well as your hands, and place balls of the dough onto the surface. Form the dough into small skull shapes.

3. When you have a full set of skulls, lightly press coloured sprinkles into the soft dough, before it is set aside to dry.

4. Refrigerate overnight: when the candy is dry, use the paint brush, food colouring and icing to finish decorating the skulls.
