From: Jean Washburn, of Hartford, WI
Transfer melted chips to a plastic sandwich bag. Snip a tiny hole from one corner of the bag. For each ant "body", pipe a little chocolate onto one side of one donut hole, press another donut hole against that one so it looks like the body of an ant. Refrigerate the bodies until set, about 20 minutes.
For the "legs", using toothpicks, poke 3 holes into both sides of each body (2 holes in back part of the body and one in the front part). Insert 1 spaghetti candy into each hole.
For "antennae," poke 2 holes into each "head," and insert 1 licorice piece into each hole.
Drizzle on top of the ant with a little chocolate, sprinkle with jimmies.
For "eyes" attach mini M&M's to "head" with dots of chocolate.
Pipe tiny chocolate dots in the center of each M&M "eye".
If desired, tint the coconut; in a plastic bag put the coconut and a few drops of green food color mix until it makes "grass".
To serve:
Put the grass on a plate and the "ants" around it.
