  • 6 red M&Ms
  • 1/2 cup of butter softened

  • 2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp of milk

Instructions
 

  • In a medium to large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.

  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
  • Using butter or cooking spray, lightly spray a 9 x 9 pan.
  • Butter, spray your hands or use wax paper to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan. Allow to cool then cut into 6 bars
  • For the white icing:
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and add the vanilla. Then mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Beat in the milk, mixing until fluffy.
  • Transfer the icing to the corner of large size zipper bag, try to minimize the trapped air and close. Clip a small piece off of the corner to pipe.
  • Pipe icing onto back (flat side) of vanilla wafer to act as glue and place on Krispie bar.
  • Pipe a dot of icing onto the back of each eye and the "m" side of the M&M and place on vanilla wafer.
  • Cut a 1.5 - 2 inch length of fruit roll and fold in V shape to act as hat. Place hat above wafer on the bar.
  • Pipe a white icing ball on the tip of the hat and pipe a band across the edge of the hat and a beard along the bottom of the cookie.
  • Allow to set.
