This is from Family Fun and is really adorable...a craft you can eat!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 15 treats

Ingredients

• 4  tablespoons butter
• 4  cups mini marshmallows
• 5  cups  puffed corn cereal
• 1 1⁄3 cups  diced  dried fruit
•  wooden popsicle sticks
•  fruit leather (green or yellow for "husks") or   fruit roll-up (green or yellow for "husks")

Directions

1. In a large pot, melt butter and mini marshmallows over low heat (about 5 minutes). You can also do this in a large bowl in the microwave, checking and stirring every couple minutes.
2. Remove the mixture from the stove and use a wooden spoon to stir in puffed corn cereal and diced dried fruit. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes.
3. Using buttered hands, shape each treat by pressing 1/3 cup of the mixture around a Popsicle stick. Add fruit leather husks to the bottom of the ear, slightly moistening them to help them stick if needed.
