I made these to bring in to work as a pre-Thanksgiving treat, and everyone loved them! I also could not find chiclets so used orange tic-tacs. The only other thing I did differently was to pipe some icing on with a cake decorating bag, because it didn't quite look like the picture when I just put some on the bottom of the peanut butter cup and pressed down. What a cute idea!

 Hi Kris,

 I am in CA and had the same trouble finding chiclets. I made the cookies and found a great replacement. I found those gummy orange wedges (I found mine at walmart) and used those. I took one wedge and rolled it out flat with a rolling pin (use lots of sugar to help it keep from sticking to the rolling pin) then cut it into strips then into squares. (when roling it out make sure not to roll it so flat that you lose the orange color of the wedge). It worked great. It was a little tedious but turned out wonderful. I only used one orange wedge for about 25 cookies. Hope this idea helps.

My five-year-old grandson and I made these last weekend and he absolutely loved them! He liked them so much that we made them 3 times!! We could not find chiclets in our area, so we used the orange tic-tacs, and they looked fine.

I'm taking this recipe to the therapeutic preschool where I work to the occupational therapist. Good fine motor activity. My little patients (speech-pathologist) will get to make these, too! Good for language.

Thanks so much for this great idea!

Kris, would cutting off the orange part of candy corn work?
