Mama do you know which tree branches are food safe? I saw caramel apples with twigs instead of popsicle sticks and they looked really cool. Id love to make some like those for the kids for Halloween. I used to feed the bunnies apple twigs but I havent found much online to tell me which ones are people safe. Jon's Dad has tons of apple trees.

I would go with apple or grape vine twigs - and I would wash thoroughly! Knowing me - I would probably figure out a way to "hide" the part that is in the apple with foil or cut-off popsicle sticks or something. No GREEN ones - not good!

Thanks. The ones they made with the sticks looked so rustic and pretty.

You're welcomed! And you can always use artificial ones - easier to clean, reuseable - no bugs!

The oldest niece who is 6 has the bucket with the gumballs she requested. Catie is 3 and her bucket has no gumballs in it. Her mother threatened to kill me if I gave her gumballs lol.
