    Cinnamon Roll Spiders

    Halloween is one of my, and my kids favorite times of the year.  I’m not exactly sure why we love it so much.  For me, I think that it has a lot to do with the long summer and my love of crafting and decorating.  I don’t get the opportunity to decorate the house and do specific holiday crafts with the kids during the summer.  So that long period from Easter to fall decorating rejuvenates my love for holiday decor and sometimes even baking!!

    These are fun and pretty delicious too!!

    Here is all you need to get started to make your very own Cinnamon Roll Spiders …

    Ingredients:

     

    8 ct package of store bought cinnamon rolls, any brand
    2 boxes of Pocky (red box)
    Large candy eyes
    Kitchen scissors

     

    Chocolate Glaze:

    1/2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
    2 tbsp butter
    2 tsp. light corn syrup

     

    Directions:

    Open the package of cinnamon and bake according to package directions.

    Remove from the oven and let cool.

    Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup to a small microwave safe dish. Heat for 30 seconds, stir and heat again until melted.

     

    Once the cinnamon rolls are completely cool, use the kitchen scissors to snip the pocky stick to about 3″ in length. Gently press into the sides of the cinnamon rolls for the spiders legs. 4 on each side = 8 legs total.

     

    Use a small spoon to frost each cinnamon roll and then give it 2 large candy eyes.

    Repeat with all cinnamon rolls.

    Introduction to Applique & Embroidery Originals

    Welcome to Applique & Embroidery Originals …

    Hello and Welcome!!  My name is Molly and I am the owner of Applique & Embroidery Originals!  I launched AEO in August of 2017 after working in the industry for over 13 years, for 5 different digitizing companies as an independent contractor!  I’m so thankful that these designers took the time to mentor me and help me grow in this industry; and supported me to become the digitizer that I am today.  My love of monograms, applique and embroidery led me to create my own business and it was a natural jump from being an independent contractor.

    Do some of my designs look familiar to you?  They will if you have been around as long as me!!  I was blessed with the opportunity to buy a large portion of the Hang to Dry Applique catalog in October 2017 when their doors closed and most recently added the Pick & Stitch designs to the site in October of 2018.  In addition to designs, fonts and in-the-hoop projects from these two amazing designers — you’ll find my own original creation on my pages!

    Did you notice anything else new on the website?  Watercolor Designs!!  I’m excited to have my friend, my favorite artist and another amazing Girl Boss on the team, offering my customers the cutest watercolor designs I’ve ever seen!!  That makes Applique & Embroidery Originals you one stop place to shop!

    Thank you for joining me on this journey!!  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  ~Philippians 4:13
