- Yields:
-
30 ladybugs
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 15 black jelly beans
- 1 cup red candy melts (we used Wilton Candy Melts)
- toothpick (optional)
- black decorating gel
directions
- Mix the peanut butter, butter, and confectioners' sugar together until well blended. Roll the mixture into about 30 (1-inch) balls.
- Place the balls on waxed paper and gently flatten their bottoms.
- Slice the jelly beans in half and push one half into each ball to make the ladybug's head.

- After the coating hardens, use the decorators' gel to add a stripe and spots to each bug.
