- 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.
