Tint portions of white candy melts yellow and pink. Coat with melted candy (page 130); refrigerate until set.

Add Heads
Use melted candy to attach the malt milk ball heads 1/4 inch from the bottom; prop up with marshmallows and wait for it to set.

Decorate Face
Tint small amounts of white candy melts green, orange, and black. Use a piping bag to draw swirls, outline mouths, and dot on eyes and pupils; let set.
