Construction Worker Snacks

Contributed by a JoAnna.  Thanks for sending this in!

I finally mastered a construction worker treat and wanted to share it with you.
I WISH I had a digital camera so I could send a picture:(

bulletI made Rice Krispie treats (following the directions on the cereal box) and pressed them in my largest cookie sheet to cool. This made them very thin and easier to cut. 
bullet Next I used my largest round cookie cutter (about 5") to trace a circle on a piece of cardboard. I added small half-circles on each side for ears and then cut out my template.
bulletI placed the template on the Rice Krispie treats and cut the EARS OUT FIRST (much easier that way) then the rest of the head.
bulletDepending on the size of your template and cookie sheet, you will get 6-8 heads.
bulletNext I mixed yellow food coloring (lots of it) with vanilla icing. I put this on the top half of the head (starting just above the ears). 
bullet Then I used black icing (the kind that you can write with) to outline the hard hat. To get an idea of where to put these lines I looked at your handyman TP roll template. 
bullet Finally I added eyes a nose and a smile just like your template. 

He turned outsoooo cute!!! Please share this with others (& enjoy it yourself).  I'm sure there are lots of moms out there who will love this.
