Wicked Halloween Treats

Ok, I'll admit it -- I love Halloween for the candy.  Dressing up is fun, but the chocolate keeps on giving!

These tins are linked to Order of the Opus Gluei's 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' Halloween challenge because we all know that treats are not only wickedly good, but the weight gained from enjoying too many of them (who, me??) is  wickedly difficult to lose.  Thanks for a fun challenge, Poobahs!

And the only thing better than chocolate is chocolate in a cute container, like these fun tins:

The pop tops are still intact, leaving recipients to wonder if they are receivintg more trick than treat.   It's magic, but not the black kind! 

Check out my TUTORIAL on the DRS blog for how to create this easy altered tin or see this post for another fun application.

Happy Halloween!
