This round went A LOT better than the first time I tried. I used a rolled chocolate recipe as my dh doesn't care for sugar cookies. I made 30 of them to send to him and his soldiers in Iraq. Since I'm in Germany it only takes 5-7 days for them to arrive, so hopefully they still taste ok when he gets them!
I tried decorating a ghost with an edible marker, but even with dry icing it started to bleed and soften the icing. I guess if I want to write on them I'd have to use something harder such as royal icing?
These are plain as I didn't have time to add details, but its still progress for me compared to last time! LOL
They look great! I'm sure your husband will be really pleased!
I'm sure the guys will love them! Please pass word along to him that we support him as he defends this Great Nation and that he is in our prayers EVERY DAY! 
They turned out wonderful! I'm SURE they will appreciate them as I've tasted the 'mri's' (I think that's what they call them) and these will be Heaven for them!
They're MREs. Kids love them, that used to be a big treat when my dad would bring extras home, sometimes I still want them.

that's funny my dad was in the air force when I was growing up and we used to fight over the MRE's........then again I probably would have thought wilton fondant was gourmet food LOL

I'm an army brat and there were 7 of us to fight over them, lucky for us he was a tanker so he was in the field lots. 
Those crackers with cheese spread were SO gross and yet so good. Same thing with the desserts. 
These are fabulous! I love the colors! A huge thank you to your husband as well!
P.S. What does MRE stand for?
Meal Ready to Eat. It's what the military uses when they can't get to the mess hall. Everything comes in pouches, it lasts forever and they're kind of nasty tasting.
