• Insert a popsicle stick into the base of each Rice Krispie Treat. 
• Place the Rice Krispie Treats on a plate and in the fridge for 15 – 20 minutes. 
• Pour the bag of Wilton black chocolate candy melts into a microwave-safe dish. 
• Heat in the microwave in 30 seconds increments, stirring until melted. 
• Remove the Rice Krispie Treats from the fridge.
• Use a spoon to coat each Rice Krispie Treat with melted chocolate allowing the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. 
• Place the Rice Krispie Treat on the lined baking sheet. 
• Give each penguin 2 large candy eyes and 1 orange M&M nose (standing up sideways).
• Place 1 bright white candy melt under the nose for the penguin’s belly. 
• Lastly, place 2 orange M&M’s at a slight angle on the bottom of the penguin for feet.
