Patriotic Favors from
Caramels
Indianhead Council
Made of caramels "glued" together by
moistening with water, these miniature structures make perfect
favors for a patriotic gathering.
Washington Monument: Stack four caramels; top
with a fifth caramel, slicing sides to form a pyramid.
Lincoln Memorial: Place 2 1/2 caramels in a
row, narrow sides up. Across top, lay 3 half-caramels for roof. Add
2 quarter slices lengthwise atop roof. Insert pieces of toothpicks
around roof for columns.
White House: Place 3 caramels in
a row, narrow sides up. Top with 1/4 of a caramel. For roof of
portico, cut a thin slice in half diagonally. Add toothpick
columns.
Capitol: Place 3 caramels in a row, wide side up.
For dome, use two 8-sided shapes, one smaller than the other, made
by removing corners from 2 caramels. Top with a small bit of
caramel. Add portico and columns as for White House.

Liberty: Stack four caramels, use 1/2 caramel for head, shaping
neck with knife. For arms, cut caramel into fourths, shaping end for
