They looked nasty. They didn't taste that great either.
It was fun making them, though. Even if most of them ended up in the garbage.
My sister helped me make them. Amy was proud of how real hers looked so she stuck her finger by it to compare. :)

To make it real nasty looking we brushed them up with cocoa powder to give them that dirty look.
