Nilla Girls

This treat was born out of the failure of another.  I won't get into that long and boring story except to say that I found myself in the kitchen with half an hour on my hands and already-melted red and pink candy melts.  I looked around for something to dip and found the Nilla Wafers.

One dip in the candy melts and I knew what I had to make.  The candy looked like hair and the heart-shaped sprinkles looked like a bow.  All it needed was a face drawn on by my favorite new toy (Wilton Food Writers) and these little beauties were born. 

I had fun taking their pictures and my kids had fun eating them.
