  • JUSTIN’S® Mini Peanut Caramel Nougat Bars (milk or dark chocolate)

  4. Add ears
    • Use two whole chocolate chips, pointy side up, on top of each bar. Secure with a dab of melted chocolate.
  5. Add eyes
    • Use melted chocolate to “glue” on candy eyes just below the ears.
  6. Optional pops
