Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Add cereal and strawberry and grape candies; mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Use moistened hands to shape cereal mixture into 12 balls.

  4. 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.
