Ingredients:
6 red-licorice whips (the skinny kind)
24 soft caramel candies
6 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (1 cup)
Colored sprinkles
Red hots
Sliced almonds


Directions:
Cut licorice into small (1/2 inch) pieces. Use your hands to flatten each caramel into a small oval. Press bits of licorice onto 12 of the flattened caramels to make legs. Top each with a second caramel and press edges to seal. Put on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
Put chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir and then microwave on High 1 minute longer. Remove from oven and stir until melted. Spoon melted chocolate over each candy. Decorate with nuts, sprinkles, etc.
