half-life cookies put candy canes to shame

A regular person might look at candy cane cookie cutters and think holiday treats. A Half-Life fan, on the other hand, knows there’s a better use for that red icing: Gordon Freeman’s crowbar.

A simple snip in the curl of the cane turns peppermint innocence into tools of edible destruction. Shape the the bottom of the crowbar into a lovely curve of sharpness and bake. It’s that simple–provided you can do simple things like make (or, let’s be real, buy and spread out) dough.

They look pretty tasty even without the icing… just less action-ready.
