This is one treat you'll definitely want to keep on your snack roster. After all, who doesn't love a cream-filled chocolate cookie topped with frosting and a chocolate candy?!

Make these adorable treats for a sports themed snack. First, melt candy melts according to the directions on the package and add a small amount of vegetable oil to make for easy dipping. Dip the unwrapped rice cereal treat into the melted candy, covering the entire bottom half. Place them on wax paper to set. While they chill, use a food marker to draw faces on round vanilla cookies. Then melt a second color of candy melts (we used white) and carefully place the melted candy melts into a zip top bag. Cut a small hole in a bottom corner of the bag and use it to pipe numbers and decorations onto the treats. Then pipe a small dot of candy melt onto the top of the rice cereal treat to adhere the round vanilla cookie faces to the treats. Be sure to allow plenty of time for these treats to set before serving.
