Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups neon green candy melts
1 tablespoon shortening
1 box (13 oz) chocolate-covered oblong cream-filled chocolate sponge cakes
Black string licorice, cut into 24 (1/4-inch) pieces
1/3 cup black candy sprinkles
1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing white icing

Steps:

  • Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts and shortening uncovered on Medium (50%) 1 minute, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir until smooth. Dip half of each sponge cake in melted candy; tap off excess. Place on cookie sheet. Immediately attach 1 licorice piece to each side of cake for neck bolts. Add candy sprinkles to tops of cakes for hair. Let stand until set.
  • Spoon remaining melted candy into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut tiny hole in corner of bag; squeeze bag to pipe eyebrows and nose onto each cake. Let stand until set. With white icing, pipe whites of eyes. Use black icing to pipe pupils of eyes, mouth and scars.
