  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts or coating wafers (3 oz)

  • 3
    With greased hands, roll 1/4 cup cereal mixture into ball. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cereal mixture. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered on High 1 minute. Dip 1 end of each pretzel stick into melted candy; attach to balls to look like antennae. Spoon remaining melted candy into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to pipe melted candy onto chocolate candies. Attach 2 chocolate candies to front of each ball for eyes.

  • For flexible antennae, try using candy sour straws cut into 2-inch pieces instead of pretzels.
