These cookies were really good and so cute!! They were a big hit at work. It did take some practice getting the legs into the carmel though. One criticism I heard was that the carmel was too hard to eat. I agree that a peanut butter cup might be better. :-)

These cookies took some time to construct but they will make you giggle when they are finished. My grandkids loved them and that made it worthwhile for me. Will definitely make them again>

We made these for a neighborhood Halloween party. They tasted and looked great. We received alot of compliments on them. All were gone so none to bring home. The adults even loved them. Drawback, a little tedious to make and hard to get the licorice into the rolo. Great for a once a year treat and would do again. We used mini-m & m's for the eyes. Very cute & yummy!
