Chocolate Bugs
shared by Patty H. (These are not healthy snacks but they are tasty. Joshua, Dawson and I had fun making them.)
Ingredients:
16 oz. chocolate-flavored candy coating, cut into pieces
1 package (1 lb) peanut-shaped peanut butter-filled sandwich cookies
32 small pretzel twists
4 tsp. miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits (I used M&M mini's)
Directions:
1. Line cookie sheets with waxed paper.
2. In 1-quart saucepan, melt the chocolate candy coating over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. (I used the microwave and it worked great!)
3. Dip cookies in chocolate coating, dipping and decorating a few cookies at a time as coating sets up quickly.
4. For each bug, place cookie in coating; lift out with fork, letting excess drip off. Place cookies, coated side up, on cookie sheets.
5. Cut or break pretzels into curved pieces for legs. Dip one end of each curved piece in chocolate coating; place 3 legs on each side of each cookie. Cut 2 short pieces for antennae. Dip one end of each pretzel piece in coating; place 2 antennae on top of each cookie. Place 2 candy-coated baking bits near antennae for eyes. Let stand 10 minutes until set.
