Ingredients

  • 24 Lifesaver candies or any round hard candy with a hole in the middle
  • 6 Mike and Ike candies or any cylinder-shaped candies
  • 2 tbsp Icing
  • 12 Cupcakes

Instructions

  • Place a small dot of icing in the center of 1 lifesaver. This will be the adhesive to hold the candy pacifier together. Place another lifesaver onto the icing so it is standing up. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure it sticks firmly. Let it dry for a few minutes.
