Ingredients
  

  • 16 Rice Krispies unwrapped (or make your own)
  • ½ c red candy melts
  • ½ c white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • ¼ c shredded coconut
  • ½ c mini marshmallows
  • ¼ c red sanding sugar
  • 1 T. red cinnamon candies or M&M’s about 16
  • ¼ c candy eye balls about 32

Instructions
 

  • Line your workspace with parchment.  
  • Unwrap the rice krispy treats and lay them out on your work surface.  
  • Melt the white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat in 15-30 second increments and stir well between intervals until smooth. 
  • Dip the bottom ¼-⅓ of each Rice Krispy in the melted white chocolate.  Scrape the excess back into the bowl and set it back on the parchment.  
  • Immediately sprinkle some shredded coconut over the white to create the beard.  Allow to set.  
  • Transfer the remaining melted white chocolate to a piping bag or ziploc, and set aside.
  • Melt the red candy melts in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat in 15-30 second increments and stir well between intervals until smooth. 
  • Dip the top ¼-⅓ of each Rice Krispy in the red candy melts.  Scrape the excess back into the bowl and set it back on the parchment. 
  • Place your mini marshmallows along the edge of the red line to create the fur of the hat.  Then sprinkle with a pinch (or more) of the red sanding sugar. 
  • Cut a small hole in the end of the white chocolate piping bag (you can always cut it bigger if needed but start smaller than you think). 
  • Pipe a small dot on each eyeball candy and set it into place on each Rice Krispy treat. 
  • Finally, pipe a small dot on a red candy and place the nose onto the Rice Krispy. 
  • Allow to set for the chocolate to reharden.
