Ingredients
- 1 pkg. (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 pkg. (11 oz.) candy corn
- 52 fudge striped cookies ( takes at least 2 pkgs)
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows ( I use pumpkin spice flavored, and cut them in pieces)
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 52 white confetti sprinkles ( or use gel icing to make eyes)
Directions
- In a microwave, melt chocolate chips, stir until smooth. For tails, use a dab of chocolate to attach five candy corns in a fan shape to the chocolate side of half the cookies; refrigerate until set.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add marshmallows; stir over low heat until melted. Stir in cereal. Cool for 10 minutes. With buttered hands, form cereal mixture into 1 1;2 inch balls.
- Remelt chocolate, attach the cereal balls to the chocolate side of the remaining cookies. Position tails perpendicular to the base cookies; attach with chocolate. Refrigerate until set.
- For feet, cut off the white tips from 52 candy corns, discard tips (or eat em)
-
Attach feet to base cookies with chocolate. Attach on candy corn to each cereal ball for heads.
- With a toothpick dipped in chocolate, attach two confetti sprinkles to each head. Using chocolate, dot each sprinkle to make pupils. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.
