I made this for my daughter's birthday today and it turned out great! However, I did have a few problems. The cool whip was way too runny and kept running off, I think next time I would use frosting instead. Also, I could not find licorice rope anywhere. I ended up buying chocolate twizzlers and cutting them into little pieces. Instead of melted chocolate for the stripes I used licorice cut in half. I also used starbursts(cut in half) and skittles to decorate with instead, since that's what I had. I took 2 halves of a starburst and rounded them out and then stuck a skittle into the middle of each to make eyeballs. I molded the starburst a little around the skittle so it would hold and it ended up looking pretty cool. I also took one half of a starburst and used it for the nose and it looked really cute. I molded the nose a little bit, too, just so it wasn't completely square. The eyes and nose popped out and made the catterpillar's face come to life, even without a mouth. My daughter
