Our invitations: Coffins with white chocolate fingers inside and the invitation on the top
I bought 15 unfinished coffins at Michaels and spraypainted them black (misting the inside) and then covered them in cardstock (one special one for her best friend).

On the inside I ended up putting red crinkle paper and chocolate fingers wrapped up and tied.
The invites themselves are both cardstock with a little saying printed out, and believe it or not, the webs,spiders and skull are confetti that I glued on
The party favors are Martha Stewarts Vampire treat bags, I added one piece of red tissue to hid the contents and the rest came with the packaging :)
My favorite gift set yet - glow in the dark, black and vampire red nailpolish with red syringe pens (all off ebay!)
When I set it up on the table - I had tons of tattoos and makeup for them to play with and TONS of toy bat rings.
I ended up making our Vampire Bite Cookies ahead of time to freeze them, I think they turned out great!
*Notes - I doubled the batch, used a Wilton lips cookie cutter, you see the mini they suggested, I think I would have used a snack size if I did it again and just made a sugar cookie - its really cinnamon but the kids tested them and they taste ok :)
- Prep Time: 20 min.
- Bake Time: 7-10 min.
- Decoration Time: 15 min.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Yield: Makes 24 bites.
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- Red food coloring
- ¼ cup red decorator’s sugar
- 24 pieces MILKY WAY® Minis
- 1 tube vanilla frosting
- Plastic wrap
- Electric mixer
- Large bowl
- Medium bowl
- 2 cookie sheet pans
- 1. Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- 2. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg; beat well. Slowly add the flour mixture into the dough until blended. Add enough food coloring to tint the dough a bright red. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- 3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line the cookie sheet pans with the parchment paper.
- 4. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out 24 lip shapes. Otherwise, you can form the dough into 24 balls and flatten each slightly to create free-form shaped lips using your hands to pinch and shape the dough. Transfer these to the prepared cookie sheets. Re-roll the scraps if necessary.
- 5. Sprinkle the cookies with red sugar. Bake 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, and immediately press a MILKY WAY® Minis into the center of each cookie. Cool completely. Use vanilla frosting to pipe fangs over the candy.
- Tip: If short on time, consider using store-bought refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Begin by kneading 2/3 cup of flour into the dough, then roll and cut according to the above directions. One roll of cookie dough makes approximately 18 cookies.
