what you need

plastic drinking straw

individually wrapped cherry flavor or Chocolate & Caramel Creme CREME SAVERS Hard Candies (sold in bag)

Shoestring licorice

Raisins, currants or cinnamon candies

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Cut a 1-1/2-inch piece of straw; set aside to make hole in ornament. Unwrap and arrange candies on parchment paper in gingerbread man shape, using 4 candies for "head" and "body" and 1 candy for each "arm" and "leg."

BAKE 3 to 6 min. or until candies are melted. Remove from oven. While still warm, press small raisins, currants or cinnamon candies into melted candies for the "eyes", "nose" and "buttons" and a small piece of shoestring licorice for the "mouth." Make a hole, about 1/2 inch from the top, by pressing drinking straw into ornament, leaving in place until candy is cooled.

COOL completely before removing ornament from paper. Gently remove straw. Thread a 6- to 8-inch piece of shoestring licorice into the hole to hang the ornament.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Cooking Know-How

Only prepare 1 ornament at a time on each baking sheet. Since the candies melt at different rates, baking more than 1 at a time could cause some ornaments to overbake.

Food Facts

Using Life Savers 5-Flavor Hard Candies sold in the bag offers many different colors and flavors to choose from.

Could you show a picture of this finished ornament?It is the only one not pictured and seems to be the one I would need the most visual help with. I love the idea and your magazine. Thanks.
