sharp knife
spreader
serving tray



Instructions

4. Place a cookie, with its underside frosted, on top.

6. Repeat until the column is 5 cookies high. Make 3 additional columns, like this one, with the remaining cookies.

Make sure the licorice for this project is fresh and soft. Hard and stale licorice is difficult to cut.

For variation, use candies instead of a marshmallow for the eyes and mouth.
