These bright, sweet "ladybugs" brought me good luck when it came to pleasing guests. I frosted chocolate-covered marshmallow cookies to make the whimsical treats, and they turned out so cute I used them as part of my centerpiece. -Kendra Barclay, De Kalb, Illinois

SERVINGS: 12

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD:

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or white chips
  • Red liquid or paste food coloring
  • 1 package (12 ounces) chocolate and marshmallow cookies
  • 3 strips black shoestring licorice, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 large black gumdrops

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt frosting and chips at 70% power; stir until smooth. Stir in food coloring. Spread over the rounded tops of cookies; place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
    For head, insert two pieces of licorice into gumdrops for antennae. With a toothpick, attach a gumdrop onto the side of each cookie.
    Use a toothpick or knife to draw a line from the head down the center of each cookie. For legs, insert six pieces of licorice into frosting of each ladybug. Chop remaining licorice into small pieces; place on top for spots. Yield: 1 dozen.
