Instructions:
Instructions: Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Coat an 8 inch square pan and a slightly larger sheet of waxed paper with nonstick spray

Melt margarine in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in cereal until well coated. Scrape into prepared pan. Press evenly with sprayed waxed paper. Cool completely.

Hats; For each, slice 1/4 inch from bottom of a gumdrop. With rolling pin, roll out slice on sugar sprinkled surface to a 1/8 inch thick brim. Press gumdrop onto brim.

Bodies: Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Invert cereal mixture onto a cutting board and cut in half then cut each half crosswise in 5 equal strips each about 1 1/2 inch wide. Round off corners of 1 end of each. To do this, press the corners against your work surface. This will make a shape similar to a tombstone. Stand rounded end up at least 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.

Feet: Cut circus peanuts in half crosswise. For each pair, place 2 halves side by side. Place these cut sides together so feet are "toe out"

Press in place against bodies.

Sheets: Put 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar in a medium bowl; reserving remaining sugar, about 1/3 cup. Add marshmallow cream and stir pressing mixture against sides of bowl until it clumps together. Knead on work surface gradually adding reserved sugar, until dough is smooth (will still be slightly sticky) Divide in 10 equal portions; roll each into a ball. Dust surface and rolling pin with cornstarch. Roll out each ball to a 6 1/2 inch circle turning dough and dusting with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Brush off excess starch. Drape over bodies

(sheets will harden in time but stay edible.)

Eyes: Slide a hand under sheet behind each body for support Press chocolate chip eyes through front of sheet into body. Place hats on top.
