Food with eyes is the best!
Hi Kirk,
Thanks so much for sharing! These candy cards are fantastic! I love that they're not just food with eyes, but stereotypical characters from the '40s! Lucy Lemon as Rosie the Riveter, Ferdie Fudge as a Sinatra-type crooner, Razz Berrie as Cab Calloway, Almond Al as an Ed Wynn-type, Mable Maple as Ella Fitzgerald! Each one is better than the next!
