1 egg white, beaten
Yellow colored sugar
1 cup vanilla frosting, divided
Yellow food coloring
1 package (10 ounces) mint chocolate-covered cookies
44 yellow cake decorator candy flowers
22 white cake decorator candy hearts

Directions

Place almonds on a baking sheet; brush with egg white and sprinkle with yellow sugar. Bake at 350° for 3 minutes or until sugar is set.
Tint 3/4 cup frosting yellow. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #18 star tip. Fill with yellow frosting. Pipe three parallel zigzag lines on each cookie. Position two almonds, sugar side out, on each cookie for wings, propping with additional frosting if needed.
Fill another pastry or plastic bag with remaining vanilla frosting; cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe a small amount of frosting to hold candies in place; add flowers for eyes and a heart, pointed side out, for stinger.
