Made these for Halloween and they were great, however I used my own peanut butter cookie recipe instead of the mix (I tried the sugar cookie mix once, and it was nasty so I stay away from all the cookie mixes now -- sorry Betty). For the legs, I ended up pushing the licorice under the melted Rolo -- very easy, looked fine and it held up well. Huge hit with the kids!

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>
