- 1 can (15 ounces) tropical fruit salad, drained and finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 package (10 1/2 ounces) mini-marshmallows
- 6 cups crisped rice cereal
- 48 currants or dried blueberries
- 10 licorice laces, any color
- Equipment:
- Paper towels
- Large pot
- Baking sheet

- Sandwich the fruit between 2 layers of paper towel and blot away as much moisture as possible.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in fruit and crisped rice cereal until cereal is uniformly moistened. Scrape onto a sheet pan and cool.
- Wet your hands and form cereal mixture into 24 tablespoon size, egg-shaped balls (bodies) and 24, 1 1/2 teaspoon-size balls (heads). Stick the heads onto the bodies and decorate with currants or dried blueberries for eyes, and small pieces of licorice for legs and antenna.
