Make the eyes: Add your candy melts to a piping bag and microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Pipe the candy into a large circle onto parchment paper. Repeat.
Make several small dots and 1/2” round dots with the candy melts for the eye accents.
Let candy dry and use the cutter to cut out two perfect circles. Set aside until ready to assemble.
Make the Nose: On the parchment paper, draw a panda nose with your candy melts. Let dry halfway then add a chocolate chip to the tip.
Make the Ears: Place 2 Hershey bars together. Use a knife to carve the ear shape, then carefully cut. If pieces break, that’s okay. Next, heat a plate in the microwave. Remove plate and rub the edges of the chocolate that you want to glue together onto the plate. This melts the chocolate so you can stick the pieces together. Once the ear is created. Repeat the process to make the second ear.
Assemble The Red Panda Face: On a plate, add your large candy circles, next add an OREO cookie then layer with the small circle accent candy. Watch the eyes come to life! Then add the nose to the plate. Cover until ready to assemble your snack tray.
Assemble the Board: Start with Hot Cheetos to make the Red Panda face, add white chocolate pretzels for the cheek fur. Add the chocolate ears, more pretzels and then carefully place the eyes and nose onto the Cheetos.
Decorate your board or table with Turning Red Stickers and you’re ready to serve!
