    List of Ingredients




    Cookie Dough Ingredients

    1 cup peanut butter
    1 cup butter
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 cup sugar
    2 eggs
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    3 cups flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    Other Ingredients

    16 ounce can vanilla frosting
    2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
    Mini candy-coated chocolate for eyes

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars until fluffy. Add
    eggs and vanilla and mix well. Sift flour and soda together and add to dough
    until barely incorporated. Roll dough into pecan-sized balls and place on
    ungreased cookie sheets. Press down slightly with a fork. Bake at 350
    degrees for 5-7 minutes. When cookies are cool, spread 1 teaspoon frosting
    on the back of one cookie and press another back on top to make a bug body.
    Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting. Gently dip bug bodies into
    melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper to dry. Snip licorice strings
    into 6 legs per bug. Press 3 legs into each side of bug. Add candy eyes to
    finish.

    Yields about 4 dozen bugs.
