For the rice krispie treat:

1. Before beginning, line a 9″ bread loaf pan with parchment.
2. Combine the butter and marshmallows in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir constantly until marshmallows have melted and mixture is smooth.
3. Immediately dump in the crisped rice cereal and mix to combine.
4. Pour into the prepared loaf pan and gently press mixture into place with a rubber spatula. Set aside for at least an hour in the refrigerator so that the mixture can firm up enough to cut shapes.
5. Once firm, use parchment to lift out rice krispie treats. Use a Minnie Mouse shaped cutter to cut out shapes and set aside.

To decorate:

1. First, melt the light cocoa candy melts in the microwave inside a microwave safe bowl, like glass, for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave again for an additional 30 seconds. Keep stirring and microwaving in short bursts of 15-20 seconds until melted and smooth. Use can alternatively use a double boiler for melting.
2. Once melted, dip top half of Minnie ears into the light cocoa. Set aside on parchment. Repeat for all treats.
3. Using the method above, melt the red candy melts. Dip the lower half of the Minnie Mouse treat, letting any excess drip off. Immediately sprinkle with red sanding sugar and press 5 white M&Ms into the sanding sugar. Set aside.
4. Make the bows by melting the remaining red candy melts using the method above. Pour into bow molds and set aside for 15 minutes.
5. Melt the white candy melts in a microwave safe piping bag using the method above but kneading instead of stirring.
6. Gently pop out bows and pipe small white polkadots on them. Set aside.
7. Pipe a small amount of the white candy melts onto the center head part of the rice krispie and press the bow to “glue” on.
8. Let everything stand for about 30 minutes and then enjoy!
