Peanut Butter Bumble Bees



I found this recipe at Nabisco.com . Here is the link:
http://www.nabiscoworld.com/recipes/recipe.aspx?recipe_id=55534
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1-1/2 cups HONEY MAID Graham Cracker Crumbs or finely crushed HONEY MAID Honey Grahams
1 square BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/3 cup PLANTERS Sliced Almonds, toasted


Preparation:
BEAT butter, peanut butter and powdered sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add cracker crumbs; mix well.
SHAPE tablespoonful of butter mixture into 1-inch oval to resemble body of bumble bee. Repeat with remaining butter mixture for additional "bees."
MELT chocolate as directed on package. Drizzle in lines on top of bees to resemble bees' stripes. Insert almonds into both sides of each body for "wings." Store in refrigerator up to 3 days. I made 2 adjustments: I used chocolate jimmies for the stripes(easier with children) and I used chocolate chips for the eyes.
