STEP 2: Prepare red candies


Once you have your ingredients, it's time to prepare your red candies! But first - lay out a piece of parchment paper and break your graham crackers in half into squares and lay them all out.

In a small microwave bowl, heat 2 cups of red candy melts for about 3-4 minutes, making sure to stir about every 30 seconds or so. Then, fill a pastry bag with the melted candies and cut off the tip of the end. Optionally, you can add a piping decorating tip to the end.
