Fudge-covered Oreo Thins

Toothpicks (for placing jelly beans and whiskers as well as shaping the bow), optional

How To Make These Super Cute Ladybug Rice Krispie Treats

Prepare a 13 x 9 baking sheet with wax paper and a spritz of non-stick cooking spray.

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and melt, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Fold in the cereal. Stir until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow.

Using a buttered spatula or greased wax paper evenly press mixture into baking sheet. Cool completely.

Use cookie cutter to cut treats. If the treats are loose, press additional krispy mixture into the cookie cutter before releasing the shape onto waxed paper.

Reshape the remaining cereal in your baking pan until all is used.

Press white nonpareils into fudge-dipped Oreo to create eyes. (If additional adhesion is needed, you can use the black decorating icing or melted white chocolate.)
