1/2 cup peanut butter (not crunchy!)
3 tablespoons softened butter
1 cup confectioners' suger
15 black jelly beans
1 cup red candy chips (such as Wilton Candy Melts)
Toothpicks
black decorators' gel

Mix the peanut butter, butter, and confectioners' sugar together until well blended. Roll the mixture into about thirty 1-inch balls.
Place the balls on waxed paper and gently flatten their bottoms
Slice the jelly beans in half and push one half into each ball. (like the head of the ladybug)
Melt the red candy chips according to the directions on the package. Spoon the melted candy over each ball. If you need to, use a toothpick to evenly distribute the candy coating.
After the coating hardens, use the decorator's gel to add a stripe and spots to each bug.
