Equipment

  • Heart Cookie Cutter
  • Toothpicks For placing jelly beans and whiskers as well as shaping the bow
  • Sterilised Tweezers For placing the whiskers
  • Waxed Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Cups Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 10 oz. Miniature Marshmallows
  • 3 tbsp. Butter
  • White Nonpareil Sprinkles
  • Red Decorating Icing
  • White Decorating Icing
  • Fudge-covered Oreo Thins
  • Milk Chocolate Morsels 4 for each ladybug

Instructions
 

  • 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 a 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.)
  • Using the round tip on the black icing, outline the ladybug and create a line up the center.
  • Fill the remaining space with red icing. You can use a toothpick to smooth and spread the icing.
  • Immediately add the Oreo head and milk chocolate morsels (as spots). Allow to dry before serving. Enjoy your lovely Ladybug Rice Krispies.

Notes

  • Prepare Rice Krispie treats and, while still warm, mold them into heart shapes using a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
  • Use fudge-covered Oreo Thins for the ladybug heads. Press white nonpareil sprinkles into the fudge to form eyes.
  • Using red and black decorating icing, outline the ladybug's body, add a line down the center, and fill with red icing. Attach the Oreo head and place milk chocolate morsels as spots.
