SECURE an additional cookie with "smiley face" design, slightly higher than the other cookies, to one end with additional frosting to form the "centipede's head."

ATTACH desired number of Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows to each side of centipede with additional frosting for "legs" and 2 small pieces shoestring licorice to head for "antennae." Makes 1 centipede (5 servings).

Cookie Frog

ATTACH 2 mini pretzel twists to the bottom of a Spring Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie with ready-to-spread white frosting for "frog's legs." Attach 2 Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows to top of cookie with additional frosting for "eyes." Color eyes with decorating gel, if desired. Makes 1 frog.

Variation - Cookie Butterfly: Attach pretzels to bottom of cookie as directed above for "butterfly's wings." Turn cookie pretzel-side up. Attach 1 Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallow in front of wings for the "butterfly's head." Insert 2 small pieces of shoestring licorice into marshmallow for "antennae." Use decorating gel to draw "face." Makes 1 butterfly.

Flower Pop

INSERT a wooden pop stick into a Spring Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie for top of "flower." Use ready-to-spread white frosting to attach Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows around outside edge of cookie for "flower petals." Makes 1.

Chocolate-Covered "Ant"

DIP 2 Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows in melted chocolate; attach end-by-end to form "ant's body." Place on sheet of waxed paper.
