Take the Milano cookies out of the package.

In two small pots, melt each candy melt color over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat.

Dip one end of each cookie into the red candy melts. Then, add a mini marshmallow bit on top.

Dip the other end of the cookie into the white candy melts. Add a round red sprinkle for the nose.

Then, add white candy melt to the back of two candy eyes and place them on the cookie.

Use a toothpick to add white candy melt to the bottom of the hat for trim.

Set the cookies out on waxed paper or a wire rack to set.

Once set, store the cookies in a cool, dry place in a cookie tin.
