Valentines Day Candy Box

Instructions:

Make the “candy” shapes first so they will have time to dry. Using brown Model Magic, shape balls and squares to about an inch.
Roll white Model Magic into thin roll and use as “icing” on the candy.
For a marbled look, work equal amounts of white and brown together until marbled to your liking and then shape.
Roll white and brown separately to about ¼ inch thick, then layer and cut into 1 inch squares.
Use bottom of the box as your pattern and trace onto paper. Cut out shape.
Glue paper to box top. Glue doilies to box top as desired.
Roll out red Model Magic to ¼ inch. Cut out heart shape, let dry and coat with clear glitter glue, let dry.

Take eight tiny pinches of Red Hot Red and shape them into teardrops. Flatten these into heart shapes on the game board by pressing two teardrops side by side with the points down.
Make 5 balls with Red Hot Red and 5 balls with Violet. The balls should be as wide as a dime. Flatten the balls into playing pieces. Use White to decorate the Red Hot Red pieces with X’s. Put a tiny White ball in the center of each Violet piece to make O’s.
Adults only- Bake all the pieces and the game board in the oven at 275 °F for 15 minutes. Don’t handle any of the pieces until they are completely cool.
