    For feet, place 2 peanut candies on cookie sheet. Spray inside of 1/2-cup measuring cup with cooking spray. For body, fill sprayed 1/2-cup measuring cup with warm cereal mixture; place over feet, releasing cereal mixture and covering back half of feet. Repeat with remaining peanut candies and cereal mixture to make 12 globlins. Immediately attach chocolate candies for eyes. Insert licorice for antenna.

  • To prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers, dip your fingers in water or coat your fingers with butter or cooking spray.
  • The cereal mixture sets up very quickly, so be sure to have licorice cut and candy ready before cereal has been coated.
