Nutty Werewolf Pops for Halloween

Ingredients:
Large peanut butter cups, at room temperature
Popsicle sticks
Chocolate icing
Mini peanut butter cups (I used Reese's Minis (not Miniatures) available in the candy aisle at supermarkets)
Confetti sprinkles
Black gel icing
Snack-size chocolate bars, cut into triangles for ears (see video above)
Red gel icing
Mini marshmallows, cut into triangles to make the fangs (see video above)

Note: To create an easy stand for your pops to sit in, press the popsicle sticks into a block of styrofoam, or a block of crumpled-up foil. 

Directions: 
1. To make the base of your pop: Carefully press a popsicle stick into the side of a soft, room temperature large peanut butter cup.

2. To make the snout: Using chocolate icing, attach a mini peanut butter cup to the large peanut butter cup.

3. For the eyes: Using chocolate icing, attach two confetti sprinkles onto the large peanut butter cup, and use black gel icing to give each eye a pupil.

4. For the ears: Attach two triangles of chocolate to the top of the large peanut butter cup with chocolate icing.

5. For the nose: Place a dot of black gel icing at the top of the mini peanut butter cup.

6. For the mouth: Using red gel icing, draw a mouth on the mini peanut butter cup. Place two marshmallow "fangs" into the red icing.

Enjoy!
