  • Yield Makes 8

Ingredients

    • 8 large black gumdrops
    • 8 Crows black licorice drops
    • 16 white nonpareils
    • 8 black licorice laces, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces

Directions

  1. Cut a sliver off top of each gumdrop to expose sticky interior. Repeat with black licorice drops. Gently press cut side of 1 gumdrop (body) onto cut side of 1 black licorice drop (head). Repeat.
  2. Using a skewer, poke 2 shallow holes into each licorice-drop head for eyes, and poke 8 shallow holes (4 on each side) into each gumdrop body for legs. Gently press 1 nonpareil into each eye hole. Cut a small slit in the midpoint of each licorice lace, being careful not to cut all the way through, to create joints on legs. Insert 1 licorice leg into each hole in body.
