Miffy Sugar Skull gingerbread biscuits

I had a really silly idea a few weeks ago and it took me a long time to get round to making it. Half term has been busy and so much fun, but I’ve missed my crafting time with the kids being off school. My 5 year old adores Miffy (so do I). We have a Miffy biscuit cutter and I thought we could bake and decorate Miffy Sugar Skull gingerbread biscuits for Halloween!

First I made my usual gingerbread recipe which you can find here.

Then we cut out lots of Miffy shapes.

When they had cooled down we gathered our decorating supplies – icing pens and candy eyes.

The kids love decorating biscuits and seemed to like the idea of sugar skulls. We looked up lots of examples first so they had some idea of what to do. But they pretty much made their own!
