Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) tropical fruit salad, drained and finely chopped

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 package (10 1/2 ounces) mini-marshmallows

6 cups crisped rice cereal

48 currants or dried blueberries

10 licorice laces, any color

Equipment:

Paper towels

Large pot

Baking sheet

Scissors

Directions

Sandwich the fruit between 2 layers of paper towel and blot away as much moisture as possible.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in fruit and crisped rice cereal until cereal is uniformly moistened. Scrape onto a sheet pan and cool.

Wet your hands and form cereal mixture into 24 tablespoon size, egg-shaped balls (bodies) and 24, 1 1/2 teaspoon-size balls (heads). Stick the heads onto the bodies and decorate with currants or dried blueberries for eyes, and small pieces of licorice for legs and antenna.
