Combining two things that most women love: shoes & dessert.

I originally made these 9 years ago for my dear friend's birthday. They're cute and fun, and easy to make, so be sure to check out the tutorial at SheKnows. 

You could add all kinds of finishing touches to them to make them extra special. Maybe dip them in white chocolate melt and use a vanilla Tootsie Roll to make them more "bridal?" Or attach some candy jewels or sparkles on the front for some extra bling? 

They'd be perfect for bachelorette parties or a girls-night-out. And don't forget Mother's Day ... it's just around the corner!

Nutter Butter Shoes (2004)

What do you make for a friend who loves shoes? Nutter Butter heels, of course.

In 2004, I made these birthday treats for my coworker, Adriene. I used Nutter Butter cookies, Tootsie Rolls and decorative candy pareils. 

I had to soften all the Tootsie Rolls in the microwave and shape the tiny heel & toe pieces with my fingers, and then wrestle with getting them to stick to the Nutter Butter cookie. At the time, I remember thinking "these are taking forever to put together." Now I laugh, because compared to some of my more recent projects, these are a piece of cake. Or cookie. Or candy. ;)

Pardon the blurry, grainy photos. Ten years ago, my digital camera (and my photography skills) were pretty novice.
