Hats: Place a COOKIES&™ SNICKERS® Brand FUN SIZE® Bar at the top of each cupcake, and top with TWIX® Brand Caramel Cookie FUN SIZE® Bars to resemble the rim on the hat.
Hair & Neck: Arrange strands of shredded wheat under the hat and around the neck.
Face: Use M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies for Halloween for the eyes and nose. Create the mouth with the remaining brown decorator’s frosting.


Tip: Consider using cut licorice laces, snipped STARBURST® Fruit Chews or shredded coconut instead of shredded wheat biscuits for the "hair".
