You can use white sugar for these, but they won't taste as amazing. The brown sugar really gives them extra oomph. :D
You'll also need an oven preheated to 350 F and a baking sheet with parchment paper lining it.
Keep Track of Delicate Laundry Items with a Dry Erase Marker
Not all laundry is created equal: some needs to get hung to dry, or go in a separate cycle. Keep track of which "special" items are in the wash with a dry erase marker.Just mark which items are in that load on top of the washer, and you'll never throw them in the dryer by accident with the rest of the load.Dry Erase Marker on the Washer | My Home Lookbook via BuzzFeedDesktop Printing Press
In my history class, I recently learned about Johannes Gutenberg and the role he played in the foundations for the Renaissance. I found myself captivated by his invention of the printing press, a revolutionary technology utilizing movable, inked type that could produce hundreds of Identical prints. I found myself asking "What would a modern re-imagining of this classic invention look like?" Before long, I had developed the idea for a desktop-based, "mini" printing press that used flash cards. Combine this with the abilities of 3D printing and laser-cutting technology, and its boundaries are expanded with the introduction of type with different fonts, sizes, and effects, as well as possible decals. Alas, I lack either a 3D-printer or a laser-cutter, forcing me to make improvisations. However, after seeing the Epilog V challenge, I decided to submit this instructible, and hopefully acquire a laser-printer to make this project what it was truly meant to be. 
For this project, you will need: MATERIALS
-Masking tape
-Strips of adhesive velcro (more than is pictured)
-Ink pad (used in stamping)
-foam letters (if you have a laser cutter or 3D printer, these are not necessary)
-1/2 inch bolt (approx. 5 inches)
-1/2 inch nut
PLYWOOD
-5/8 inch
-1/4 inch
NOT PICTURED
-12 wood screws approx. 1/2 inch long
TOOLS
-Wood saw (unnecessary if you have a laser-cutter)
-Handheld drill
-Hot glue gun
-Scissors
-Screwdriver
DRILL BITS
-1/2 inch
-1 inch
NOT PICTURED
-Drill bit for 1/2 inch long wood screws

Realistic Chocolate Heads from 3D Prints
This instructable describes the workflow used to create chocolate faces. The workflow uses 3D scanning, data manipulation, 3D printing, vacuum forming and chocolate. If your interested in using this workflow or would like some more information send use an email. 
The 3D scanning was done using a Mephisto scanning system. The systems very accurate. All the data was aligned and re-meshed in meshlab.
