Equipment

Ingredients

6 Baked Cupcakes - need to be unfrosted
1 container of Blue Frosting
1 package of Twizzlers Pull N’ Peel Licorice
6 Marshmallows large in size
8 Ounce(s) of candy melts Purple
12 Edible Candy Eyes

Instructions

Melt the candy melts in a small bowl according to the directions on the package.
Put a toothpick into the middle of the marshmallow and dip it into the melted chocolate. Cover completely. Put it on parchment paper once done and take out the toothpick. Repeat with all marshmallows.
Add two candy eyes to the chocolate marshmallow before it hardens.
Put blue frosting on top of the cupcakes with more in the middle to cause a sloped look. Use a knife to make swirls that look like water.
Cut a piece of licorice into 4 pieces. You'll need 48 strands of the pull-n-peel for this recipe.
Lay the licorice legs on the top of the cupcakes so that they drape a bit.
Put the marshmallow "head" on top in the center and press down.
