If you’re looking for a unique sweet gift for your Valentine this year, then this may the ticket! These edible matchsticks are so easy to make and even more delightful to give – especially when the cookies are packaged in matchstick slider boxes. The candy coating on the cookies has a pinch of ground cayenne pepper, so they bring a little heat to the party, too!

Hop on over to The Etsy Blog to find the complete tutorial with lots of step-by-step photos. You’ll also find resources for slider boxes and the super cute washi tape I used to create a faux “striker strip” on the sides of the matchboxes.

Oh wow! Have you ever seen the movie Like Water For Chocolate, Heather? It's this amazing Mexican melodrama about a chef who genuinely puts her emotions into her dishes… In the end (long story), she eats matches! These would be oh so much tastier than the variety she eats! So beautiful – well done.
