Create the Mouth and Tongue

Press or roll out chewy chocolate candies.  Using a round cutter that is approximately 1-inch in diameter, cut 3 circles.  Set aside excess for later use. Cut one of the circles in half.  Place one half at the bottom of the cupcake, at the “6 o’clock” position. Overlap the two full circles on top of the half to form the cheeks. Cut a small piece of fruit roll for the tongue.  Insert tongue piece so that it is tucked under the cheeks .

Add a Nose

Add one candy piece,  or sugar pearl, as the nose.  Or, roll the remaining half circle of chewy chocolate candy for the nose.  Use a knife, toothpick, or veining tool to form the nose and freckles.

Define the Eyes

Place a small chocolate candy or sugar pearl in the center of each disk for the eyes. Using a toothpick, dab a dot of vanilla frosting on the candy piece to define the eye.
