This would be fun to make for a summer time children's party. Ingredients:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted |
3/4 cup rice krispies |
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter or 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter |
1 cup chocolate sprinkles |
1/2 cup sugar-coated tiny stick black licorice |
1/2 ounce string black licorice, about 4-1/2 feet, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces |
Directions:
1. Melt chocolate with butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove bowl from pan and let cool 10 minutes.
3. Gently stir chocolate mixture, coconut, Rice Krispies, and peanut butter in a large bowl until combined well.
4. Chill, covered, until slightly firm, about 15 minutes.
5. Place chocolate sprinkles in a shallow bowl.
6. Using a 1-1/2-inch ice-cream scoop, form chocolate mixture into balls and drop into sprinkles; coat well, working with 6 or 7 at a time (chill mixture to firm, if necessary).
7. Arrange coated bites in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
8. Arrange on a serving platter.
9. Decorate Bug Bites with sugar-coated licorice sticks to form legs and string licorice to form antennae.
