Instructions

Step 1

Microwave butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to evenly coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec.

Step 2

Add cereal and strawberry and grape candies; mix well.

Step 3

Use moistened hands to shape cereal mixture into 12 balls.

Step 4

Spoon frosting into small resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag. Use to squeeze 3 small dots of frosting onto each cereal ball to attach 2 candy eyes, then 1 cinnamon candy for the nose. Gently press 2 chewy red licorice candies into the top of each ball for the ears.

Note; Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray to help prevent the cereal mixture from sticking to your hands when you roll it into the balls.
